Title: Floriculture Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0093.
Expiration Date of Approval: June 30,
2009.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to revise and extend an
information collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices, and disposition. The
Floriculture Survey is currently
conducted in 15 States and obtains basic
agricultural statistics on production and
value of floriculture and nursery
products. The target population for this
survey is all operations with production
and sales of at least $10,000 of
floriculture products. New floriculture
operations that were discovered during
the 2007 Census of Agriculture will be
added to the list of potential
respondents. The retail and wholesale
quantity and value of sales are collected
for fresh cut flowers, potted flowering
plants, foliage plants, annual bedding/
garden plants, herbaceous perennials,
cut cultivated florist greens, propagative
floriculture material, and unfinished
plants. Additional detail on area in
production, operation value of sales,
and agricultural workers is included.
Content changes are minimal year to
year, but always managed to avoid
significant changes to the length and
burden associated with each
questionnaire. These statistics are used
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
help administer programs and by
growers and marketers in making
production and marketing decisions.
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: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average between 10 and
60 minutes per respondent. Operations
with less than $100,000 in sales of
floriculture products respond to a
reduced number of questions related to
operation characteristics while
operations with sales greater than
$100,000 complete the entire
questionnaire.
Respondents: Farms and businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
9,500.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 4,250 hours.
Copies of this information collection
and related instructions can be obtained
without charge from David Hancock,
NASS Clearance Officer, at (202) 690–
2388.
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 techniques.
All responses to this notice will
become a matter of public record and be
summarized in the request for OMB
approval.
Signed at Washington, DC, February 2,
2009.

Associate Administrator.
