Title: 2025 Area Screening Survey, a pilot study for the June Area
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0264.
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. NASS plans to conduct the 2025
Area Screening Survey, as a pilot study to support potential
improvements and validate the methodology to the June Area Survey. The
proof-of-concept and pilot study results will inform changes to the
information collection approach and ensure the updated methodology is
robust and effective. If successful, this initiative could lead to
significant cost reductions and/or decreased respondent burden for the
June Area Survey. The target population for the 2025 Area Screening
Survey, a pilot study for the June Area Survey, comprises all tracts in
Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon, and Texas. General authority for
these data collection activities is granted under U.S.C. Title 7,
Section 2204. The 2025 Area Screening Survey aimed at testing a new
screening questionnaire for the June Area Survey under OMB Control
Number 0535-0213.
Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of this pilot study to
support potential improvements and validate the methodology for the
June Area Survey. The proof-of-concept and pilot study results will
inform changes to the information collection approach and ensure the
updated methodology is robust and effective. By leveraging the data
collected through the June Area Survey and the findings from the pilot
study, NASS and other users ensure that agricultural practices and
policies are based on accurate, reliable, and current data, which
supports the operational, research, and policy needs of the
agricultural community.
