collection. 

Abstract: Under the Agricultural 

Marketing Act of 1946, as amended (7 

U.S.C. 1621–1627), the Poultry Market 

News and Analysis Branch provides upto-the-minute nationwide coverage of 

prices, supply, demand, trends, 

movement, and other pertinent 

information affecting the trading of 

poultry and eggs, and their respective 

products. The market reports compiled 

and disseminated by Market News 

provide current, unbiased, factual 

information to all members of the 

Nation’s agricultural industry, from 

farm to retailer. These market reports 

assist producers, processors, 

wholesalers, retailers, and others in 

making informed production, 

purchasing, and sales decisions and 

promote orderly marketing by placing 

buyers and sellers on a more equal 

negotiating basis. 

Market news reporters communicate 

with buyers and sellers of egg and 

poultry commodities on a daily basis in 

order to accomplish the Program’s 

mission. This communication and 

information gathering is accomplished 

through the use of telephone 

conversations, facsimile transmissions, 

and electronic mail messages. Market 

News uses one OMB approved form, 

PY–90: Monthly Dried Egg Solids Stocks 

Report, to collect inventory information 

from commercial dried egg products 

plants throughout the U.S. Cooperating 

firms voluntarily submit this form to 

Market News primarily via electronic 

mail and facsimile transmissions. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 0.083 hours (5 

minutes) per response. 

Respondents: Producers, processors, 

brokers, distributors, retailers and 

commercial dried egg products plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,743. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

216,858. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 137. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 17,999 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

may be obtained from Sara Lutton, 

Standards, Promotion, & Technology 

Branch, at (202) 720–0976. 

Comments are invited on: (1) 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) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written comments on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
