SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Stocks Reports. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0007. 

Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 

2025. 

Type of Request: Intent to Seek 

Approval to Revise and Extend an 

Information Collection for 3 years. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

is to prepare and issue State and 

national estimates of crop and livestock 

production, stocks, disposition, and 

prices. The Stocks Report surveys, 

provide estimates of stocks of grains, 

hops, oilseeds, peanuts, potatoes, and 

rice that are stored off-farm. These offfarm stocks are combined with on-farm 

stocks to estimate stocks in all positions. 

The grain Stocks Reports are a principle 

economic indicator as defined by OMB. 

Stocks statistics are used by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture to help 

administer programs; by State agencies 

to develop, research, and promote the 

marketing of products; and by producers 

and buyers to find their best market 

opportunity(s). The Stocks Reports are 

instrumental in providing timely, 

accurate data to help grain market 

participants. Since the previous 

approval, NASS made minor 

adjustments to the number of 

respondents contacted and the overall 

respondent burden based on regular list 

maintenance activities. The current 

expiration date for this docket is April 

30, 2025. NASS intends to request that 

the survey be approved for another 3 

years. 

Authority: These data will be 

collected under the authority of 7 U.S.C. 

2204(a). Individually identifiable data 

collected under this authority are 

governed by section 1770 of the Food 

Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7 

U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to 

afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by 

respondents. This Notice is submitted in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 

13 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), and Office 

of Management and Budget regulations 

at 5 CFR part 1320.
