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.

Need and Use of the Information:
NASS will collect information to
estimate acreage intended to plant,

yield/production, price, and utilization
for the various crops. The estimates
provide vital statistics for growers,
processors, and marketers to use in
making production and marketing
decisions.

Rural Business Service
Title: 7 CFR 4287–B, Servicing
Business and Industry Guaranteed
Loans.
OMB Control Number: 0570–0016.
Summary of Collection: The Business
and Industry (B&I) program was
legislated in 1972 under Section 310B of
the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended (the Act).
The purpose of the B&I program, as
authorized by the Act, is to improve
economic and environmental climate in
rural communities, including pollution
abatement and control. This purpose is
achieved through bolstering the existing
private credit structure through the
guaranteeing of quality loans, which
will provide lasting community
benefits. The B&I program is
administered by the Rural Business
Service (RBS) through Rural
Development State and sub-State offices
serving each State. RBS will collect
information using various forms from
the lender and the borrower. This
information is vital for making prudent
financial decisions.
Need and Use of the Information: RBS
will collect information to monitor the
guaranteed loan portfolio to ensure that
the lenders are adequately servicing the
loans. RBS through its respective
Business Programs Divisions in
Washington, DC and its 47 State Offices
throughout the United States will be the
primary users of the information
collected. If the information is not
collected, RBS would not be able to
make prudent credit decisions nor
would the Agency be able to effectively
monitor the lender’s servicing activities
and thus minimize losses under the
program.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 4,126.
