DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Reinstatement
The Department of Agriculture will submit the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and reinstatement 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
clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) 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 these information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received by August 21, 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: Field Crops Production.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0002.
Summary of Collection: The primary functions of the National
Agricultural Statistics Services' (NASS) are to prepare and issue State
and national estimates of crop and livestock production, disposition,
and prices and to collect information on related environmental and
economic factors. The Field Crops Production Program consists of
probability field crops surveys and supplemental panel surveys. These
surveys are extremely valuable for commodities where acreage and yield
are published at the county level. NASS will use surveys to collect
information through a combination of the internet, mail, telephone, and
personnel interviews. The general authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code title 7, section 2204.
Need and Use of the Information: NASS collects information on field
crops to monitor agricultural developments across the country that may
impact on the nation's food supply. The Secretary of Agriculture uses
estimates of crop production to administer farm program legislation and
import and export programs. Collecting this information less frequently
would eliminate the data needed to keep the Department abreast of
changes at the State and national level.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 532,853.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly,
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 142,236.
