collected under this authority are
governed by Section 1770 of the Food
Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7
U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to
afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by
respondents. This Notice is submitted in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and Office
of Management and Budget regulations
at 5 CFR part 1320. NASS also complies
with OMB Implementation Guidance,
‘‘Implementation Guidance for Title V
of the E-Government Act, Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’
