Agricultural Marketing Service 

Title: Plan for Estimating Daily 

Livestock Slaughter under Federal 

Inspection. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0050. 

Summary of Collection: The 

Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 

U.S.C. 1621–1627) (AMA), as amended, 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture 

‘‘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 

bringing about a balance between 

production, and utilization of 

agricultural products.’’ The collection of 

information in this request is based on 

the AMA, title II, subtitle A, sec. 203, 

principally, paragraphs (b), (g), and (k) 

that direct the Secretary of Agriculture 

to determine agricultural marketing 

costs and develop efficient marketing 

methods to reduce the price spread 

between producer and consumer; to 

collect and disseminate marketing 

information to bring about a balance 

between production and utilization of 

agricultural products; and to collect, 

tabulate, and disseminate agricultural 

marketing statistics. 

Under this authority, the Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) Livestock, 

Poultry, and Grain Market News 

(LPGMN) Division works to provide 

timely information of prices, supply, 

demands, trends, movement, and other 

details affecting the trade of livestock, 

poultry, meat, eggs, grain, and their 

related products, as well as locally 

produced and marketed products. The 

information requested is used to 

compile and disseminate market reports 

that provide current, unbiased 

information to all stakeholders in the 

U.S. agricultural industry. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

AMS will collect information on 

estimation of the current day’s slaughter 

at their plant(s) and the actual slaughter 

of the previous day. The report is used 

to make market outlook projections and 

maintain statistical data. The up-to-theminute reports collected and 

disseminated by professional market 

reporters are intended to provide both 

buyers and sellers with the information 

necessary for making intelligent, 

informed marketing decisions, thus 

putting everyone in the marketing 

system in an equal bargaining position. 

Since the government is a large 

purchaser of meat, a system to monitor 

the collection and reporting of data is 

needed. Collecting this information less 

frequently would hinder the timely use 

of this data. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Individuals or 

households; Farms. 

Number of Respondents: 69. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting; 

Weekly; Other: Daily. 

Total Burden Hours: 597.
