    Title: Cold Storage.
    OMB Control Number: 0535-0001.
    Summary of Collection: The primary objective of the National 
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to prepare and issue State 
and national estimates of crop and livestock production, value and 
disposition. The monthly Cold Storage Survey provides information on 
national supplies of food in refrigerated storage facilities. A 
biennial survey of refrigerated warehouses is also conducted to provide 
a benchmark of the capacity available for refrigerated storage of the 
nation's food supply. The data will be collected under the authority of 
7 U.S.C. 2204(a). This statute specifies ``The Secretary of Agriculture 
shall procure and preserve all information concerning agriculture which 
he can obtain . . . by the collection of statistics . . . and shall 
distribute them among agriculturists.''
    Need and Use of the Information: USDA agencies such as the World 
Agricultural Outlook Board, Economic Research Service, and Agricultural 
Marketing Service use this information from the Cold Storage report in 
setting and administering government commodity programs and in supply 
and demand analysis. Included in the report are stocks of pork bellies, 
frozen orange juice concentrate, butter, and cheese which are traded on 
the Chicago Board of Trade. The timing and frequency of the surveys 
have evolved to meet the needs of producers, facilities, 
agribusinesses, and government agencies.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 1,378.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Monthly; Biennially.
    Total Burden Hours: 3,965.
