    Comments regarding this information collection received by May 11,

Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

    Title: Agricultural Prices.

and services. This information is needed by

[[Page 21311]]

the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Statistics 
Service (NASS) for the following purposes: (a) To compute Parity Prices 
in accordance with requirements of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 
1938 as amended (Title III, Subtitle A, Section 301a, (b) to estimate 
value of production, inventory values, and cash receipts from farming, 
(c) to determine the level for farmer owned reserves, (d) to provide 
guidelines for Risk Management Agency price selection options, (e) to 
determine Federal disaster prices to be paid, (f) establishing USDA's 
net farm income projections by the Economic Research Service and (g) to 
determine the grazing fee on Federal lands. General authority for these 
data collection activities is granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section 
2204.
    Need and Use of the Information: The NASS price program computes 
annual U.S. weighted average prices received by farmers for wheat, 
barley, oats, corn, grain sorghum, rice, cotton, peanuts, pulse crops 
and oilseeds based on monthly marketing. Estimates of prices received 
are used by NASS to determine the value of agricultural production. 
Prices estimates are used by many Government agencies as a general 
measure of commodity price changes, economic analysis relating to farm 
income and alternative marketing policies, and for disaster and 
insurance payments. NASS estimates based on these surveys are used as a 
Principle Economic Indicator of the United States. These price 
estimates are also used to compute Parity Prices in accordance with 
requirements of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended 
(Title III, Subtitle A, Section 301(a)).
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 67,535.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Monthly; Annually; 
Biennially.
    Total Burden Hours: 30,583.
