DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
April 1, 2022.
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by May 6,
2022 will be considered. 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.
Economic Research Service
Title: Conservation Auction Behavior: Effects of Default Offers and
Score Updating.
OMB Control Number: 0536-NEW.
Summary of Collection: Data collection for this project is
conducted under the authority of the 7 U.S.C. 2204(a). This data
collection will use an online simulated auction experiment with former
participants in the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general
signup to (1) Study the anchoring effect of using a high-scoring
default offer in the CRP enrollment software rather than an active-
choice default, and (2) study how the timing of information about final
ranking score in the software influences responsive to baseline ranking
scores. Outputs for the experiment will be used to inform potential
updates to the CRP software and enrollment software as well as future
lab experiments on general conservation auctions.
Need and Use of the Information: This study will collect data on
choice made using a lab-in-the-field experiment, in which the study
participants, farmers who have previously participated in a recent CRP
signup, will be asked to make a set of hypothetical offers to a
simulated CRP signup. The data collection is being conducted by USDA
Economic Research Service in collaboration with researchers from the
University of Delaware's Center for Behavioral and Experimental
Agrienvironmental Research. This information will potentially be of use
to USDA's Farm Service Agency when conducting signups for CRP.
If this study is not conducted, USDA would lack context-specific
research when considering program spending on software redesign to
change the defaults used in the enrollment software or training of
field agents to change the defaults used when advising farmers on
program enrollment.
Description of Respondents: Farmers or Farmland Owners.
Number of Respondents: 11,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 1,467.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
