Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper

information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and

Comments regarding these information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received by November 29, 2021. Written
comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection
should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on
the following website <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Title: 2020 Local Foods Marketing Practices Survey--Substantive
Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0259.
Summary of Collection: The primary objective of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to collect, prepare and issue
State and national estimates of crop and livestock production, prices,
and disposition; as well as economic statistics, environmental
statistics related to agriculture and also to conduct the Census of
Agriculture.
Need and Use of the Information: NASS will collect information
about these types of operations to understand conservation practices
within the United States in terms of the following: (1) How often are
specific conservation practices adopted without assistance, with
technical assistance and/or financial assistance. (2) How does adoption
evolve over time? What proportion of producers who ``try'' a given
practice continue or expand use over time? How many discontinue the
practice? (3) What motivates farmers to initially try a practice and
then continue, expand, or discontinue use? The questions reflect a
range of factors including conservation need(s), experience(s) of
neighbors, financial benefits or costs, producer's time and effort,
availability of technical and financial assistance, regulation or
conservation compliance, and concern about the environmental quality.
The United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources
Conservation Service has entered into an interagency agreement with
NASS to conduct this survey.
Description of Respondents: The 2022 survey will target operations
who own or operate cropland as well as confined livestock feeding
operations. Operators who have grazing land or forestry land will be
done at a later date.
Number of Respondents: 35,200.
Frequency of Responses: Once.
Total Burden Hours: 35,614.
Dated: October 26, 2021.
