Abstract: The primary objective of the

Several follow-on census surveys will 

be conducted under independent OMB 

Control Numbers. NASS will suspend 

this information collection (2007 Census 

of Agriculture) as of May 11, 2009 due 

to the completion of the survey. 

Authority: These data were collected 

under authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204g.

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 non-aggregated data 

provided by respondents. 

Estimate of Burden: There will be no 

further public reporting burden for this 

collection of information.

a.m. ET. 

PLACE: Radio Free Europe/Radio 

Liberty, Editorial Room (4–34), Prague,

CLOSED MEETING: The members of the 

Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)

They will address internal procedural, 

budgetary, and personnel issues, as well 

as sensitive foreign policy issues 

relating to potential options in the U.S. 

international broadcasting field. This 

meeting is closed because if open it 

likely would either disclose matters that 

would be properly classified to be kept 

secret in the interest of foreign policy 

under the appropriate executive order (5 

U.S.C. 552b.(c)(1)) or would disclose 

information the premature disclosure of 

which would be likely to significantly 

frustrate implementation of a proposed 

agency action. (5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(9)(B)) 

In addition, part of the discussion will 

relate solely to the internal personnel 

and organizational issues of the BBG or 

the International Broadcasting Bureau.
