Crops.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0039.
Summary of Collection: The primary
function of the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) is to prepare
and issue current official state and
national estimates of crop and livestock

Information is collected on a voluntary
basis from growers, processors, and
handlers through surveys.
Need and Use of the Information:
Data reported on fruit, nut, specialty
crops and Hawaii tropical crops are
used by NASS to estimate acreage,
yield, production, utilization, and crop
value in States with significant
commercial production. These estimates
are essential to farmers, processors, and
handlers in making production and
marketing decisions. Estimates from
these inquiries are used by market order
administrators in their determination of
expected supplies of crop under federal
and state market orders as well as
competitive fruits and nuts.

Background
Codex was established in 1963 by two
United Nations organizations, the Food

promoting their adoption and
implementation by governments, Codex
seeks to protect the health of consumers
and ensure that fair practices are used
in trade.
The CCFA establishes or endorses
permitted maximum levels for
individual additives; prepares priority
lists of food additives for risk
assessment by the Joint FAO/WHO
Expert Committee on Food Additives
(JECFA); assigns functional classes to
individual food additives; recommends
specifications of identity and purity for
food additives for adoption by Codex;
considers methods of analysis for the
determination of additives in food; and
considers and elaborates standards or
codes for related subjects such as
labeling of food additives when sold as
such. The CCFA is hosted by China.
Issues To Be Discussed at the Public
Meeting
The following items on the agenda for
the 42nd Session of the CCFA will be

Standards/nhcp.html. To aid in this
comparison, following are highlights of
the proposed revisions to each standard:
Air Filtration and Scrubbing (Code
371)—This is a new standard which is
a device or system for reducing
emissions of air contaminants from a
structure.
Animal Trails and Walkways (Code
575)—Proposed revisions are limited
but include greater emphasis of
potential impacts to water courses and
other environmental and cultural
resources.
Combustion System Improvement
(Code 372)—This is a new standard to
improve the air quality and energy
efficiency of agricultural combustion
systems.
Conservation Crop Rotation (Code
328)—The revised standard adds a
purpose for cropping system diversity
and pollinator habitat. Additional
criteria have been added to improve soil
quality and nutrient balance.
Diversion (Code 362)—Revisions
include expansion of the Plans and
Specifications section along with
updated references.
Dust Control on Unpaved Roads and
Surfaces (Code 373)—This is a new
standard for controlling direct
particulate matter emissions produced
by vehicle and machinery traffic or
wind action from unpaved roads and
other surfaces by applying a palliative
on the surface.
Forage Harvest Management (Code
511)—Revisions are minor in nature
with updated references included.
Herbaceous Weed Control (Code315)—This is a new standard to provide
for herbaceous weed control on lands
not actively in crop production.
Requirements are included for
biological, chemical, and mechanical
control.
Range Planting (Code 550)—Revisions
incorporate Ecological Site Description
use for planning purposes and updates
the reference section. Minor changes in
wording occur throughout the standard.
Riparian Herbaceous Cover (Code
390)—Proposed revisions expand the
practice purpose to include more habitat
functions, including providing habitat
for pollinator conservation. Use of
ecological site descriptions for planning
and monitoring this practice has been
added. Additional references have been
included.
