Provides data to estimate U.S. milk
production, milk cows, amounts and value of feed fed to milk cows,
and production of manufactured dairy products in all States. Data

The Introduction and
Instructions for record keeping on the Dairy Product Prices
questionnaires have been revised. This was done to inform
respondents that their reports are protected from public disclosure
except as directed by the Secretary of Agriculture or the Attorney
General for enforcement purposes to ensure compliance with the
Dairy Product Mandatory Reporting program. In addition, each person
required to report information on this survey shall maintain, and
make available to the Secretary on request, original contracts,
agreements, receipts, and other records associated with the sale of
qualified dairy products during the two-year period beginning on
the date of the creation of the records. This emergency request is
being submitted at the direction of Paul Balserak of
OMB(Paul_Balserak@omb.eop.gov).

In the previous submission the
burden was accounted for non-responses but the response total for
non responses was inadvertantly omitted. This submission corrects
that error and shows an adjustment increase of 19,250 for the
number of responses. There is no change in the burden hours.
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
