National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Title: Agricultural Prices. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0003. 

Summary of Collection: The U.S. 

Department of Agriculture needs 

estimates of prices received by farmers 

and prices paid by farmers for 

production goods and services for the 

following purposes: 

—computing Parity Prices in accordance 

with requirements of the Agricultural 

Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended; 

—estimating value of production, 

inventory values, and cash receipts 

from farming; 

—determining the level for farmerowned reserves; 

—providing guidelines for Risk 

Management Agency price selection 

options; 

—determining Federal disaster prices to 

be paid; 

—input into agricultures contribution to 

the national income and product 

accounts (NIPA); 

—use in agricultures contribution to 

national gross domestic product 

(GDP); 

—establishing USDA’s net farm income 

projections by the Economic Research 

Service; and 

—determining the grazing fee on 

Federal lands. 

General authority for these data 

collection activities is granted under 

U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204 (a). This 

statute specifies that ‘‘The Secretary of 

Agriculture shall procure and preserve 

all information concerning agriculture 

which he can obtain . . . by the 

collection of statistics . . . and shall 

distribute them among agriculturalists.’’ 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

NASS price program computes annual 

U.S. weighted average prices received 

by farmers for wheat, barley, oats, corn, 

grain sorghum, rice, cotton, peanuts, 

pulse crops and oilseeds based on 

monthly marketing. Estimates of prices 

received are used by NASS to determine 

the value of agricultural production. 

Prices estimates are used by many 

Government agencies as a general 

measure of commodity price changes, 

economic analysis relating to farm 

income and alternative marketing 

policies, and for disaster and insurance 

payments. NASS estimates based on 

these surveys are used as a Principle 

Economic Indicator of the United States. 

These price estimates are also used to 

compute Parity Prices in accordance 

with requirements of the Agricultural 

Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended 

(Title III, Subtitle A, Section 301(a)). 

Description of Respondents: Farms;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description of Information Collection 

Request 

Title: Urban Agriculture Cooperative 

Agreement. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0000. 

Type of Request: New. 

Abstract: The awarded cooperators 

are working to successfully implement 

urban agriculture outreach, training, 

technical assistance, and education to 

urban agriculture communities. With 

the complex nature of some of FSA’s 

programs, FSA is focusing on additional 

outreach and education to producers 

who could benefit from additional 

outreach to (1) increase knowledge, 

awareness, and participation in FSA 

and USDA programs and services 

associated with growing food in an 

urban area; (2) assist farmers with 

expanding their farming operations, 

accessing land, and implementing 

climate-friendly practices that can 

mitigate their susceptibility to natural 

disasters in urban areas; and (3) increase 

representation of underserved farmers 

serving on Urban County Committees. 

FSA is requesting comments on the 

project’s semi-annual progress reports 

that the awarded cooperators are 

required to submit to FSA. We received 

OMB clearance to use the electronic 

submission (SF–270, SF–424 and SF– 

425) in the Grants.gov. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hour is the estimated average 

time per responses hours multiplied by 

the estimated total annual responses. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: Public 

reporting burden for the collection of 

information is estimated to average 10 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Cooperators. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

18. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 2. 

Estimated Total Annual Number of 

Responses: 36. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Response: 10 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 360 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of the information collections to 

help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information technology; 

and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who 

respond through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses where provided, will be made 

a matter of public record. Comments 

will be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval of the 

information collection.
