Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture will submit the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 on or after the date
of publication of this notice. Comments are requested regarding: (1)
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; (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

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 these information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received by June 5, 2023. 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
Title: Aquaculture Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0150.
Summary of Collection: The primary objective of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock production, prices, and
disposition. The Aquaculture Surveys program produces estimates at the
national level on both trout and catfish. Survey results are used by
government agencies and others in planning farm programs.
The trout survey includes sales (dollars, pounds, and quantities),
percent of product sold by outlet at the point of first sale,
distribution (dollars, pounds, and quantities) of fish raised for
release into open waters, and losses. The catfish surveys include
inventory counts, water surface acreage used for production and sales
(dollars, pounds, and quantities).
Need and Use of the Information: Survey results are used by members
of the Cooperative Extension System and the National Sea Grant College
Program who research and work in aquaculture. The information is used
to analyze changing trends in the number of commercial operations and
production levels by State, as well as to demonstrate the growing
importance of aquaculture to officials of federal and State government
agencies who manage and direct policy for programs in agriculture and
natural resources. Extension specialists use the data to demonstrate
the impact of educational programs and other efforts to assist in
developing economically viable aquaculture operations. The type of
information collected and reported provides extension educators and
research scientists with data that indicate important areas that
require special educational and/or research efforts, such as causes for
fish loss and pond inventories of fish of various sizes.
Description of Respondents: Farms; business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 2,950.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: on occasion; annually.
Total Burden Hours: 551.
