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

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

other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding these information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received by December 2, 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 (NASS)
Title: Commercial Floriculture Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0093.
Summary of Collection: The primary function of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to prepare and issue current
official State and national estimates of crop and livestock production.
The Commercial Floriculture Survey (CFS) is conducted annually and
represents all growers that produced and sold $10,000 or more of
floriculture crops during the previous year. Currently, the survey is
conducted
[[Page 87325]]
in all 50 States. General authority for these data collection
activities is granted under 7 U.S.C. 2204.
Need and Use of the Information: The CFS is conducted annually to
collect total production and sales figures for the floriculture
industry. Since many items included in this survey are seasonal, such
as cut roses for Valentine's Day, bedding plants for summertime,
chrysanthemums for fall, and poinsettias for Christmas, the survey must
be conducted annually to get a complete data set for this industry.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Businesses or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 12,500.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 11,673.
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Cost of Pollination Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0258.
Summary of Collection: The primary objectives of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare and issue
official State and national estimates of crop and livestock production,
disposition and prices, economic statistics, and environmental
statistics related to agriculture and to conduct the Census of
Agriculture and its follow-on surveys. Pollinators (honeybees) are
vital to the agricultural industry for producing food for the world's
population. NASS' primary focus will center on costs associated with
honey bee pollination, but will also collect some basic information
relating to other forms of pollination. General authority for these
data collection activities is granted under 7 U.S.C. 2204.
Need and Use of The Information: NASS plans to collect economic
data under this new collection using the ``Cost of Pollination
Inquiry'' survey. Data relating to the targeted crops (fruits, nuts,
vegetables and specialty crops) will be collected for the total number
of acres that rely on honey bee pollination, the number of honey bee
colonies that were used on those acres, and any cash fees associated
with honey bee pollination. By publishing both regional and crop
specific pollination costs, both, crop farmers and beekeepers will be
able to benefit from this additional data.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Businesses or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 16,050.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 5,231.
