SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description of Information Collection
Title: Online Registration for FSAhosted Events and Conferences.
OMB Number: 0560–0226.
Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2016.
Type of Request: Extension with a
Revision.
Abstract: The collection of
information is necessary for people to
register online to make payment and
reservations to attend conferences and
events. They can register on FSA’s
Online Registration site on the Internet.
Respondents who do not have access to
the Internet can register by mail or fax.
The information is collected by the FSA
employees who host the conferences
and events. FSA is collecting common
elements from interested respondents
such as name, organization, address,
country, phone number, email address,
State, city or town, payment options
(credit card, check), special
accommodations requests and how the
respondent learned of the conference.
The information collection element also
include race, ethnicity, gender and
veteran status. The respondents are
mainly individuals who will attend the
FSA-hosted conferences or events. The
information is used to collect payment,
if applicable, from the respondents and
make hotel reservations and other
special arrangements as necessary.
There are no changes to the burden
hours since the last OMB approval. FSA
is adding new elements in the online
registration format to assist individuals
and to gather information to provide an
appropriate FSA-hosted conference and
events. The new elements include:
Specifying a request for a type of
disability services, identifying how they
learned about the event, providing
additional names to invite to the event,
waiver for liability, and demographic
information including gender, race, and
ethnicity. The new elements will not
increase the burden hours because it is
all self-explanatory for the respondent
to complete the online format.
The formula used to calculate the
total burden hour is estimated average
time per responses hours times total
responses.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 15
minutes.

National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Vegetable Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0037.
Summary of Collection: The primary
function of the National Agricultural
Statistics (NASS) is to prepare and issue
current official state and national
estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices and disposition. The
Vegetable Surveys Program obtains
basic agricultural statistics for fresh
market and processing vegetables in
major producing States. The vegetable
program has two types of utilization:
Some crops are processing only, some
are fresh market only, and others are
dual crops (both processing and fresh
market). Vegetable processors are
surveyed in August for acreage
contracted and estimated yield. In late
November, processors are asked for final
acreage harvested, production, and
value. The fresh market vegetable
program consists of specialized growers
who are surveyed at the conclusion of
the growing season for estimates of crop
production. Producers of onions,
strawberries, and asparagus are
surveyed in August to obtain forecasted
acreage and production. NASS will
collect information using surveys.

processors, and marketers to use in
making production and marketing
