Upon approval of this information collection, AMS will request approval from the OMB to merge this collection, “Plan for Estimating Daily Livestock Slaughter Under Federal Inspection” (OMB 0581-0050), with the currently approved information collection titled “Livestock, Poultry, and Grain Market News” (OMB 0186-0033).
