SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Plan for Estimating Daily 

Livestock Slaughter Under Federal 

Inspection. 

OMB Number: 0581–0050. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

December 31, 2024. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing 

Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627), 

section 203(g), directs and authorizes 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) to collect and disseminate 

marketing information including 

adequate outlook information, on a 

market area basis, for the purpose of 

anticipating and meeting consumer 

requirements, aiding in the maintenance 

of farm income, and to bring about a 

balance between production and 

utilization. 

Under this Market News program, 

AMS issues a Market News report 

estimating daily livestock slaughter 

under Federal inspection. This report is 

compiled by AMS on a voluntary basis 

in cooperation with the livestock and 

meat industry. Market News reporting 

must be timely, accurate, and 

continuous if it is to be useful to 

producers, processors, and the trade in 

general. The daily livestock slaughter 

estimates are provided at the request of 

industry and are used to make 

production and marketing decisions. 

The Daily Estimated Livestock 

Slaughter Under Federal Inspection 

Report is used by a wide range of 

industry contacts, including packers, 

processors, producers, brokers, and 

retailers of meat and meat products. The 

livestock and meat industry requested 

that AMS issue slaughter estimates 

(daily and weekly), by species, for 

cattle, calves, hogs, and sheep in order 

to assist them in making immediate 

production and marketing decisions and 

as a guide to the volume of meat in the 

marketing channel. The information 

requested from respondents includes 

their estimation of the current day’s 

slaughter at their plant(s) and the actual 

slaughter for the previous day. Also, the 

Government is a large purchaser of meat 

and related products and this report 

assists other Government agencies in 

providing timely information on the 

quantity of meat entering the processing 

channels. 

The aforementioned information must 

be collected, compiled, and 

disseminated by an impartial thirdparty, in a manner which protects the 

confidentiality of the reporting entity. 

USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service 

is in the best position to provide this 

service. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average .0333 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, individuals or 

households, farms, and the Federal 

Government.

69. 

Estimated Number of Responses:

Respondent: 260. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 597 hours. 

Comments: 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

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of
