(NASS) to request revision and

extension of a currently approved
information collection, the List
Sampling Frame Surveys. Revision to
burden hours will be needed due to
changes in the size of the target
population, sampling design, and/or
questionnaire length. Annually, NASS
obtains lists of farm and ranch operators
from different crop and livestock
organizations. Historically we have
averaged 500,000 potential new
operators each year from these lists.
Before adding these names to our list of
active operators we will contact the
operators to collect basic farming
information from them on the size and
type of operation. These data will be
used to eliminate any duplication we
may have with names already on our
list. Since the 2017 Census of
Agriculture will be conducted in 2018,
the sample sizes for 2017 and 2018 will
be greatly reduced. Additional questions
may need to be added to the
questionnaires to accommodate any new
trends or changes in the farming
community that need to be identified
(i.e. Organic farming, renewable energy
production, expansion of acreage of
alternative or specialty crops, etc.).
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by October 20, 2015 to be
assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

Type of Request: Intent to Seek
Approval to Revise and Extend an
Information Collection for a period of
three years.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, economic statistics,
environmental statistics related to
agriculture and also to conduct the
Census of Agriculture. The List
Sampling Frame Surveys are used to
develop and maintain a complete list of
possible farm operations. The goal is to
produce for each State a relatively
complete, current, and unduplicated list
of names for statistical sampling for
agricultural operation surveys and the
Census of Agriculture. Data from these
agricultural surveys are used by
government agencies and educational
institutions in planning, farm policy
analysis, and program administration.
More importantly, farmers and ranchers
use NASS data to help make informed
business decisions on what
commodities to produce and when is
the optimal time to market their
products. NASS data is useful to farmers
in comparing their farming practices
with the economic and environmental
data published by NASS.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the authority of 7 U.S.C.
2204(a). Individually identifiable data
collected under this authority are
governed by Section 1770 of the Food
Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7
U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to
afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by
respondents. This Notice is submitted in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113)
and the Office of Management and
Budget regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
NASS also complies with OMB
Implementation Guidance,
‘‘Implementation Guidance for Title V
of the E-Government Act, Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’
Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June
15, 2007, p. 33376.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 15 minutes per
respondent.
Respondents: Potential Farmers and
Ranchers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
175,000 (annually).
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: With an estimated
response rate of approximately 80% we
estimate the burden to be 40,500 hours
(annually).

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) 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;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, technological, or
other forms of information technology
collection methods. All responses to
this notice will become a matter of
public record and be summarized in the
request for OMB approval.
