Assessment Project.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0245.
Summary of Collection: General
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
Title 7, Section 2204(a). The National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
primary function is to prepare and issue
official State and national estimates of
crop and livestock production,
disposition and prices. The goal of this
information collection is to obtain land
management information that will assist
the Natural Resources Conservation
Service in assessing environmental
benefits associated with implementation
and installation of associated
conservation practices of various
conservation programs such as the
Environmental Quality Incentives
Program, the Conservation Reserve
Program, the Wetland Reserve Program,
and other conservation programs.
Need and Use of the Information: The
survey will utilize personal interviews
to administer a questionnaire that is
designed to obtain from farm operators
field-specific data associated with
selected National Resources Inventory
sub-sample units in the contiguous 48
States. Data collected in this survey will
be used in conjunction with previously
collected data on soils, climate, and
cropping history to model impacts of
conservation practices on the larger
environment. USDA needs updated
scientifically credible data on residue
and tillage management, nutrient
management, and conservation practices
in order to quantify and assess current
impacts of farming practices and to
document changes. The assessment will
be used to report progress annually on
Farm Bill implementation to Congress
and the general public.
