This information collection is to
collect weekly sales information of dairy products such as cheddar
cheese, butter, nonfat dry milk and dry whey. The sales information
reported are used by USDA to calculate minimum prices for raw milk
marketed through the Federal milk marketing order system. This
collection will require manufacturers to submit information only by
electronic means specified by AMS.
Several changes have occurred
since the proposed rule due to (1) previous information to collect
data on one sample paper form has been separated into two
electronic forms, and (2) the number of respondents has been
changed to reflect more current number of respondents reporting in
the 2011 data received by NASS.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
