on-line response. Non-respondents will
receive follow-up contact by mail.
Response to all phases of the Census
of Agriculture Content Test are
voluntary.
Authority: Although the Census of
Agriculture is required by law (‘‘Census
of Agriculture Act of 1997,’’ Public Law
105–113, 7 U.S.C. 2204(g) as amended),
this Content Test is voluntary. These
data will be collected under the
authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a).
Individually identifiable data 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 non-aggregated 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),’’
Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June
15, 2007, p. 33362.
Estimate of Burden: Reporting burden
for Phase One, (mailout survey) of this
collection of information is estimated to
average 50 minutes per completed
response and two (2) minutes per
refusal. This was determined by our
experience from past Censuses of
Agriculture and by our survey
methodologists, based on the length and
difficulty of similar surveys. Burden is
based on an estimated minimum
response rate of 58%. This anticipated
response rate is based on similar types
of voluntary mail surveys and through
the use of a mail questionnaire and
(limited) telephone follow-up to nonrespondents. After removing ineligible
cases (those operations out of business
or similar), we anticipate a 50%
response rate.
Reporting burden for Phase Two,
(cognitive interviews) of this collection
of information is estimated to average
120 minutes per completed response
and five (5) minutes per refusal. This
was determined by our survey
methodologists who compared the
questionnaire length and difficulty with
previous cognitive pretests NASS has
conducted.
Reporting burden for Phase Three,
(internet test) of this collection of
information is estimated to average 40
minutes per completed response and
two (2) minutes per refusal. This was
determined by our experience from past
Censuses of Agriculture and by our

survey methodologists, who compared
the questionnaire length and difficulty
with similar surveys. Since Phase Three
is Internet only, the average time to
complete the questionnaire is less than
for Phase One (paper questionnaire and
phone follow-up responses only) since
the Internet version is faster due to
automated routing. Burden is based on
an estimated minimum response rate of
53%, which is similar to response rates
observed for voluntary Internet based
surveys of a similar nature.
Respondents: Potential farm and
ranch operators.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
65,400 farmers and/or ranchers.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 42,000 hours (This is
based on the expected response rates
explained above.)
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical,
technological or other forms of
information technology collection
methods.
All responses to this notice will
become a matter of public record and be
summarized in the request for OMB
approval.
Signed at Washington, DC, February 18,
2015.

Associate Administrator.
