Notice of Intent To Suspend the Distiller's Grains Survey and 
Reports

AGENCY: National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of suspension of data collection and publication.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the intention of the National 
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) to suspend a currently approved 
information collection, the Distiller's Grains Survey, and its 
associated publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph T. Reilly, Associate 
Administrator, National Agricultural Statistics Service, U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, (202) 720-4333.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Distiller's Grains Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0535-0247.
    Expiration Date of Approval: August 31, 2009.
    Type of Request: To suspend a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: The primary objective of the National Agricultural 
Statistics Service is to prepare and issue State and national estimates 
of crop and livestock production, disposition, and prices. The 
Distiller's Grains Survey was conducted as a one time only survey to 
gather information for establishing a baseline measure of the current 
usage of distiller's grains and identify any barriers hindering 
livestock producers from utilizing distiller's grains and other ethanol 
by-products in their feed rations. NASS will suspend this information 
collection as of April 27, 2009 due to the completion of the survey.

    Authority:  These data were collected under authority of 7 
U.S.C. 2204(a). Individually identifiable data collected under this 
authority are governed by Section 1770 of the Food Security Act of 
1985, 7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford strict 
confidentiality to non-aggregated data provided by respondents.

    Estimate of Burden: There will be no further public reporting 
burden for this collection of information.

    Signed at Washington, DC, March 27, 2009.
Joseph T. Reilly,
Associate Administrator.
