SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Childhood Injury and
Occupational Injury Survey of Farm
Operators.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0235.
Expiration Date of Previous Approval:
12/31/2011.
Type of Request: To seek
reinstatement of an information
collection for a period of three years.
Abstract: The National Childhood
Injury and Adult Occupational Injury
Survey of Farm Operators is designed
to: (1) Provide estimates of childhood
nonfatal injury incidence and
description of injury occurring to
children less than 20 years of age who
reside, work, or visit farms and (2)
describe the occupational injury
experience of farm operators. These
surveys are being conducted as part of
a cooperative agreement between the
Center for Disease Control (CDC) and
the National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS). In 2012, NASS will
conduct the General Adult and Child
Injury survey and will use the total farm
population to sample from. In 2013,
NASS will not be conducting an injury
survey, since we will be concentrating
on the Census of Agriculture survey
(OMB #0535–0226). In 2014, NASS
plans to again conduct the General
Adult and Child Injury Survey, and this
time, the survey will concentrate on
minority farm operators.
