    Title: Tobacco Reports.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0004.
    Summary of Collection: Authority for the mandatory collection of 
information on form TB-26 ``Tobacco Stocks Report'' is the Tobacco 
Statistics Act of 1929 (7 U.S.C. 501-508). The Act provides for the 
collection and publication of statistics of tobacco by USDA with regard 
to quantity of leaf tobacco in all forms in the United States and 
Puerto, owned by or in the possession of dealers, manufacturers, 
growers' cooperative associations, and others with the exception of the 
original growers of the tobacco. The information furnished under the 
provisions of this Act is used only for statistical purposes for which 
it is supplied.
    Need and Use of the Information: The basic purpose of the 
information collection is to ascertain the total supply of 
unmanufactured tobacco available to domestic manufacturers and to 
calculate the amount consumed in manufactured tobacco products. This 
data is also used for the calculation of production quotas for 
individual types of tobacco and for price support calculations. Without 
the information, USDA would not be able to disseminate marketing 
information as directed and authorized in the Act.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 30.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Quarterly.
    Total Burden Hours: 104.
