SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The results of the 2022 Census of
Agriculture were released on February 13, 2024. For more information,
visit <a href="http://www.nass.usda.gov/AgCensus">www.nass.usda.gov/AgCensus</a>. While the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) is completing the censuses in Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Guam, US Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands (which will be published in early 2025), plans
are underway for the next census of agriculture, which will be
conducted in 2028, referencing 2027.
NASS is the primary data collection Agency of the US Department of
Agriculture (USDA). NASS is looking for ways to streamline the
questionnaire to reduce respondent burden and data collection costs,
while still providing data users with the detailed data they need. NASS
is beginning the process of planning the content of the 2027 Census of
Agriculture. As part of that process, NASS will review the content from
the 2022 Census of Agriculture for data use, relevancy, and burden to
the respondent. We are seeking input on ways to improve the census of
agriculture. Recommendations or any other ideas concerning the census
would be greatly appreciated. The 2022 Census of Agriculture
questionnaire may be viewed on-line at: <a href="http://www.nass.usda.gov/go/censusform">www.nass.usda.gov/go/censusform</a>.
The following justification categories should be addressed when
proposing a new line of questioning for the 2027 Census of Agriculture:
1. What data are needed?
2. Why are the data needed?
3. At what geographic level are the data needed? (U.S., State,
County, other)
4. Who will use these data?
5. What decisions will be influenced with these data?
6. What surveys have used the proposed question before; what
testing has been done on the question; and what is known about its
reliability and validity?
7. Draft of the recommended question.
All responses to this notice will become a matter of public record
and be

summarized and considered by NASS in preparing the 2027 Census of
Agriculture questionnaire for OMB approval.
Signed at Washington, DC, July 16, 2024.

Acting Associate Administrator.
