national, State, and county estimates of crop and livestock production, 
disposition, prices, and collect information on related environmental 
and economic factors.
    Timeline: NASS will suspend this information collection as of

these data collections, unless there is a change in the anticipated 
budget shortfall.

2204(a) (General Duties of the Secretary of Agriculture). 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.
