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)

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 October 17, 2024. 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: 2024 Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of Agricultural Land
(TOTAL) Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0240.
Summary of Collection: The 2024 Tenure, Ownership, and Transition
of Agricultural Land (TOTAL) is an integral part of the 2022 Census of
Agriculture and is conducted under the authority of the Census of
Agriculture Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-113). This law requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a census of agriculture in 1998 and
every fifth year following 1998. The primary functions of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (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.
Need and Use of the Information: TOTAL will be conducted as a
follow-on survey to the 2022 Census of Agriculture and will use two
questionnaires, one for farm operators and one for landlords who do not
farm. The survey will obtain data to accurately define the economic
status of U.S. farm operations and households. Detailed, farm level,
economic data are essential for making informed decisions relating to
the farming industry. The combined data series will yield a complete
picture of farm expenses and land ownership of American farmland.
Approximately every ten years (coinciding with the Census of
Agriculture), a survey of farmland ownership and farm operators
regarding farm revenues and expenses is conducted. We propose to field
TOTAL to address this need. In intervening years, the Agricultural
Resource Management Survey Phase 3 (ARMS 3) (OMB #0535-0275), an
economic survey with content similar to the farm operator portion of
the decennial survey, is conducted. Accordingly, in this proposal to
field TOTAL, we also propose to suspend ARMS 3 for the 2024 crop year
(would have been enumerated in 2025) to minimize respondent burden as
well as to remove possible duplication of data.
This is a reinstatement with change, of the TOTAL survey to be
conducted as a follow-on survey to the 2022 Census of Agriculture.
Changes from the previous TOTAL survey include collecting data from all
50 States as opposed to excluding Alaska and Hawaii as in previous
surveys. Alaska and Hawaii will be included in published landlord
statistics for other States and not individually like what will be
published for the 15 largest agricultural producing States based on
value of sales (core States).
Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 89,600.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 115,055.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
