National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Title: Cooperator Funded Chemical Use Surveys--Substantive Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0273.
Summary of Collection: The National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is authorized under 7 U.S.C. 2204 to collect and preserve
agricultural information, including through the collection of
statistics. NASS's mission is to provide timely, accurate, and useful
statistics on agricultural production, economics, and environmental
practices. To fulfill this mission, NASS conducts a variety of surveys
that track changes in agricultural practices over time.
NASS is submitting a substantive change request to revise the
currently approved information collection for the Cooperator Funded
Chemical Use Surveys. This revision pertains specifically to the 2026
Minnesota Pesticide and Fertilizer Survey. While the overall purpose
and scope of the survey remain unchanged, several questionnaire items
have been reworded, clarified, or replaced to improve data quality and
respondent comprehension. These updates are designed to enhance the
accuracy and usability of the data without increasing respondent
burden. The revised questionnaire will be used for phone enumeration
beginning in February 2026, as requested by the sponsoring agency.
Need and Use of the Information: The proposed changes will simplify
survey questions for respondents and better align the data collected
with future analytical needs. The information supports agricultural
policy development, environmental monitoring, and resource management.
Description of Respondents: Farms and Ranches.
Number of Respondents: 24,200.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Once per year.
Total Burden Hours: 11,571.
