DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
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 (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 this information collection received by July 15,
2024 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.
Office of the Chief Economist
Title: Generic Clearance of Multiple Crop and Pesticide Use.
OMB Control Number: 0503-0026.
Summary of Collection: The primary purpose of this information will
be to support the Office of Pest Management Policy (OPMP) understanding
of agricultural practices pertaining to pest management. OPMP is
undertaking this effort to satisfy legislative requirements outlined in
title X, section 10109 of the 2018 Farm Bill, which mandates that The
Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Office of the Chief
Economist's Director of OPMP, collect this information. Pest management
information is critical to supporting a key responsibility of OPMP,
i.e., to ``consult with agricultural producers that may be affected by
pest management or pesticide-related activities or actions of the
Department or other agencies,'' as outlined in the Agricultural
Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998.
Need and Use of the Information: This request for approval will
improve OPMP's ability to better understand the utilization of pest
management tools by agricultural producers via input from pest
management advisors--including Extension experts and crop consultants,
who in addition to being advisors are often agricultural producers
themselves. Data collected are intended to capture agricultural
practices and needs to support Federal activities that pertain to pest
management, which are typically time-sensitive and necessitate the need
for rapid data collection. OPMP will use several methods to collect
information under this generic collection. The methods will be web-
based surveys, telephone surveys, interviews, and/or focus groups may
be needed under certain circumstances.
If the information is not collected, it would deny the agricultural
industry the ability to afford important and insightful input towards a
better understanding of pest management practices that may be unknown
by the Federal Government, this consequence is especially valid for
underrepresented specialty crops.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households; business or
other for-profit; not-for-profit institutions; farms; Federal
Government; State, local or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 15,583.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 6,131.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
