Surveys.

OMB Number: 0535–0004.

Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,

1996.

Type of Request: Extension and

revision of a currently approved

information collection.

Abstract: The primary objective of the

National Agricultural Statistics Service

is to prepare and issue State and

national estimates of crop and livestock

production. The Egg, Chicken, and

Turkey Program obtains basic poultry

statistics from voluntary cooperators

throughout the Nation. The data are

used to prepare and issue current State

and national estimates. Statistics are

published on placement of pullet chicks

for hatchery supply flocks, hatching

reports for broiler-type, egg-type, and

turkey eggs, number of layers on hand,

total table egg production, non-federally

inspected poultry slaughter, and

production, disposition, and income

estimates for eggs, chickens, and

turkeys. Non-federally inspected poultry

slaughter data are obtained from State

Department of Agriculture.

The statistical information is used by

producers, processors, feed dealers, and

others in the marketing and supply

channels as a basis for production and

marketing decisions. Government

agencies use these estimates to evaluate

poultry product supplies. The

information is an important

consideration in government purchases

for the school lunch program and in

formulation of export-import policy.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average 9 minutes per

response.

Respondents: Farms.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

7,100.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 4,145 hours.

Copies of this information collection

and related instructions can be obtained

Comments: Comments are invited on:

(a) 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;

(b) 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;

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,

and clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

through the use of appropriate

automated, electronic, mechanical, or

other technological collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology. Comments may be sent to:
