product prices surveys.

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

USDA to afford strict confidentiality to

non-aggregated data provided by

respondents.
