the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Civil Rights
Title: USDA Race, Ethnicity and
Gender Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 0503–NEW.
Summary of Collection: Section 14006
and 14007 of the Food, Conservation,
and Energy Act of 2008, 7 U.S.C. 8701
(referred to as the 2008 Far Bill)
establishes a requirement for the
Department of Agriculture (USDA) to
annually compile application and
participation rate data regarding socially
disadvantaged farmers or ranchers by
computing for each program of the
USDA that serves agriculture producers
and landowners (a) raw numbers of
applicants and participants by race,
ethnicity, and gender, subject to
appropriate privacy protection, as
determined by the Secretary; and (b) the
application and participation rate, by
race, ethnicity and gender as a
percentage of the total participation rate
of all agricultural producers and
landowners for each county and State in
the United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
Data will be collected through a
questionnaire to determine the race,
ethnicity and gender of farmers and
ranchers who apply for and who
participate in USDA programs and
services. The data is also necessary to
provide USDA and its agencies with
sound data on the demographics of its
constituents. The data will enable
USDA to (a) develop a baseline on its
applicants and participants, (b) assist in
planning for and implementing
appropriate responses to the needs of its
constituents, and (c) in the conduct of
oversight and evaluation of civil rights
compliance. The information will be
used by the Office of Advocacy and
Outreach and the agencies’ outreach
offices to determine if socially
disadvantaged farmers and ranchers are
being equitably served by USDA
programs. Failure to collect this
information will have a negative impact
on USDA’s outreach activities and could
result in an inability of the agencies to
equitably deliver programs and services
to applicant and producers.
