complete this information collection is estimated to average 2.0 hours per manually prepared and submitted report and 1.0 hour per electronically prepared

information collection. The time required to complete the initial setup for reporting this information is 2.0 hours

Instructions For Completing PSD-341

Packers as defined in 9 CFR 206.1 must use form PSD 341 to submit monthly estimates of swine
to be delivered under contract. Packers must complete a separate monthly report for each plant
that meets the definition of a packer in 9 CFR 206.1.
Reports must be received by the close of business on the 15th of each month. If the 15th day of a
month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the monthly report is due no later than the
close of the next business day following the 15th.
Packers may obtain a waiver for the requirement to file monthly reports if they do not use
marketing agreements to procure hogs (i.e. the monthly report would consist of zero estimated
deliveries under existing contracts). Requests must be submitted in writing and include a
statement that the packer does not procure swine using marketing agreements. Send the waiver
request to address listed below. If the waiver request is approved, Packers and Stockyards
Division will provide a written document granting a waiver for 12 months. If the packer begins
using marketing agreements during the waiver period, the waiver becomes void and the packer
must begin submitting monthly reports.
