respondent recruitment protocols. The primary objective of ERS is
providing timely research and analysis to public and private decision
makers on topics related to agriculture, food, the environment, and

improve the quality of the data in the surveys and censuses that are
ultimately conducted. Specifically, the information will be used to
reduce respondent burden while simultaneously improving the quality of
the data collected in these surveys. This clearance involves one-time
questionnaire and/or procedural
