SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Nursery and Christmas Tree
Production Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0244.
Expiration Date of Approval:
September 30, 2016.
Type of Request: Intent to revise and
extend a currently approved
information collection for a period of
three years.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices, and disposition, as
well as economic statistics,
environmental statistics related to
agriculture and also to conduct the
Census of Agriculture. The Nursery and
Floriculture Chemical Use Survey
(NFCUS) was created to develop a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:47 May 25, 2016
Jkt 238001
database of chemicals and cropping
practices for this particular industry.
The survey was conducted every three
years for the reference periods of 2000,
2003, 2006 and 2009. The Nursery and
Christmas Tree Production Survey
(NCTPS) was conducted in conjunction
with the chemical use survey for the
years 2000, 2003, and 2006. For the
2009 reference year the Census of
Horticulture replaced this survey. The
Census of Horticulture (OMB # 0535–
0236) is now conducted every five years
and has filled the need for nursery
production data. With the creation of
the NFCUS database and current budget
constraints the NFCUS and NCTPS
surveys have been discontinued.
Historically, the Oregon Nursery Survey
and the Oregon Christmas Tree Survey
have been conducted under cooperative
agreements with the state of Oregon.
This information collection package will
now only include these two remaining
surveys.
Authority: These data will be collected
under 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, (Pub. L. 104–113) and
Office of Management and Budget regulations
at 5 CFR part 1320 (60 FR 44978, August 29,
1995).
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. 33376.
Estimate of Burden: The retirement of
the Nursery and Christmas Tree
Production Surveys along with the
Nursery and Floriculture Chemical Use
Survey will reduce the burden estimate
by approximately 4,200 hours from the
previous approval. Respondent burden
for the two remaining surveys will be
approximately 900 hours. The
questionnaires are estimated to take the
respondents approximately 20 to 30
minutes to complete. Publicity materials
and the instruction sheet will account
for about 5 minutes of additional burden
per respondent. Respondents who
refuse to complete a survey will be
allotted 2 minutes of burden per attempt
to collect the data.
Respondents: Producers of nursery,
greenhouse, and floriculture products.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: The Oregon Nursery
Production Survey and the Oregon
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Christmas Tree Production Survey have
a combined sample size of
approximately 1,800.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: Approximately 900 hours.
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, 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, May 18, 2016.
