Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, disposition, and prices. The
Agricultural Labor Survey provides
statistics on the number of agricultural
workers, hours worked, and wage rates.
Number of workers and hours worked

administration of the ‘‘H–2A’’ Program
and for setting Adverse Effect Wage
Rates. Survey data are also used to carry
out provisions of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act. The current expiration
date for this docket is April 30, 2009.
NASS intends to request that the
Agricultural Labor Survey be approved
for another 3 years.
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, 7 U.S.C. 2276,
which requires USDA to afford strict
confidentiality to non-aggregated data
provided by respondents. This notice is
submitted in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13) and Office of Management
and Budget regulations at 5 CFR part
1320 (60 FR 44978, August 29, 1995).
Estimate of Burden: This information
collection comprises four individual
surveys, two of which are conducted
annually and two which are conducted
quarterly, for an estimated total of
72,000 responses. The public reporting
burden for this information collection is
estimated to average 15 minutes per
response.
Respondents: Farms and businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12,300.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 12,500 hours.
Copies of this information collection
