DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). Comments are invited on: (1) whether the proposed
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
the burden of the proposed collection, 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 respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Comments must be received by December 22, 2025 to be assured of
consideration. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice at <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 it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Individuals
are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number.
National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Title: Fruit, Nuts, and Specialty Crops--Substantive Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0039.
Summary of Collection: The National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is responsible for preparing and issuing current official state
and national estimates of crop and livestock production. Estimates for
fruit, tree nuts, and specialty crops are a key component of this
mission and support the NASS strategic goal of covering all
agricultural cash receipts. Data are collected voluntarily from
growers, processors, and handlers through surveys authorized under 7
U.S.C. 2204(a). Individually identifiable data are protected under
Section 1770 of the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 2276) and Title
III of Public Law 115-435 (CIPSEA), which require strict
confidentiality for non-aggregated respondent data.
NASS is submitting a substantive change request to revise the
currently approved information collection for the Fruit, Nut, and
Specialty Crops Surveys. This change reflects a programmatic adjustment
to the Florida citrus data collection strategy. Specifically, NASS
proposes to discontinue the Florida Citrus Processors Inquiry and
instead include Florida in the Quarterly Citrus Survey. This change
will align Florida's citrus data collection with the methodology used
in other citrus-producing states, streamline internal operations, and
improve consistency across states. Florida will adopt the California
version of the Quarterly Citrus Survey questionnaire. No changes are
being made to the core survey instruments beyond the inclusion of
Florida in the sampling frame and associated scheduling adjustments.
Need and Use of the Information: The data collected are used to
estimate crop acreage, yield, production, utilization, price, and value
in states with significant commercial production. These estimates are
essential for stakeholders--including farmers, processors, exporters,
shipping companies, and market order administrators--to make informed
production and marketing decisions.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 56,215.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion; Annually; Semi-annually;
Quarterly; Monthly; Weekly.
Total Burden Hours: 28,792.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
