National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Agricultural Labor Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0109.
Summary of Collection: The 1938
Agricultural Adjustment Act, as
amended in 1948, requires wage rate
data for computation of an index
component. This component is used in
calculation of parity prices. General
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
Title 7, Section 2204. Agricultural labor
statistics are an integral part of National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
primary function of collecting,
processing, and disseminating current
state, regional, and national agricultural
statistics. Comprehensive and reliable
agricultural labor data are also needed
by the Department of Labor in the
administration of the ‘‘H–2A’’ program
(non-immigrants who enter the United
States for temporary or seasonal
agricultural labor) and for setting
‘‘Adverse Effect Wage Rates.’’ The
Agricultural Labor Survey is the only
timely and reliable source of
information on the size of the farm
worker population. NASS will collect
information using a survey.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS will collect information on wage
rate estimates and the year-to-year
changes in these rates and how changes
in wage rates help measure the changes
in costs of production of major farm
commodities. NASS will also collect
data information to measure the
availability of national farm workers.
The information is used by farm worker
organizations to help set wage rates and
negotiate labor contracts as well as
determine the need for additional
workers and to help ensure federal
assistance for farm worker assistance
programs supported with government
funding.
Description of Respondents: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 12,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Quarterly; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 11,594.
