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.
