publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joseph T. Reilly, Associate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Postharvest Chemical Use
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0218.
Expiration Date of Approval:
December 31, 2011.
Type of Request: To suspend a

Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to conduct surveys in order
to prepare national, State, and county
estimates of crop and livestock
production, disposition, prices, and
collect information on related
environmental and economic factors.
The Postharvest Chemical Use Survey is
a part of the NASS chemical use
program. This survey is used to collect
and publish data on pesticide usage on
selected crops after harvesting has been
completed. The summarized data is
available to other government agencies
as well as the public. The surveys
contain questions relating to the types of
pesticides that are applied to selected
crops after harvesting, how the
chemicals are applied, when they are
applied and how much was applied.
Additional pest management practices
are also studied. This information can
be used when making decisions on food
and worker safety issues.
