National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Floriculture Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0093.
Summary of Collection: The primary
function of the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) is to prepare
current official state and national
estimates of crop and livestock
production. Since 1985 Congress has
provided funds to conduct an annual
Commercial Floriculture Survey which
obtains data on this important and
growing industry. Several program
changes have occurred since the
previous approval in November of 2015.
Results from the surveys that were
conducted in January 2016 referencing
2015 production data, were published
in April 2016. In January 2017 and 2018
the national surveys were postponed
due to budget cuts. NASS did collect
data for the State of Hawaii only for
those two years under a cooperative
agreement with the Hawaii State Dept.
of Agriculture.
Following an extensive review of the
floriculture industry and trends in
production, NASS is proposing the
following changes to the program. Based
on the 2014 Horticultural Specialties
Census, the top 16 states which
represent 79.6% of the combined total
of floriculture production and sales in
the United States, will be surveyed. In
addition, Congress has provided line

item funding for the inclusion of Alaska
into the Floriculture Survey program.
The 17 States that will be included in
the program in this renewal request are:
Alaska, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan,
Ohio, Oregon, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
New to this program are the States of
Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia,
and Wisconsin. Dropped from the
federally funded program are Hawaii,
Maryland, and South Carolina.
However, NASS has been contacted by
the States of Arizona, Hawaii and
Maryland about doing a reimbursable
survey through a cooperative agreement
with each State. These three State
surveys will be included in this OMB
approval request.
General authority for these data
collection activities is granted under
U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204. This
statute specifies that ‘‘The Secretary of
Agriculture shall procure and preserve
all information concerning agriculture
which can be obtained by the collection
of statistics . . . and shall distribute
them among agriculturists’’. The
floriculture industry accounted for
approximately $5.9 billion in wholesale
sales at the U.S. level in 2014 (Census
of Horticultural Specialties). In 2015 the
15 States that were surveyed by the
Commercial Floriculture Survey
accounted for $4.37 billion in wholesale
sales or a little over 74% of the U.S.
total.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS obtains basic agricultural
statistics on production and value of
floriculture products. The target
population for this survey is all
operations with production and sales of
at least $10,000 of floriculture products.
Data collected from the survey will
assess alternative agriculture
opportunities, and provide statistics for
Federal and State agencies to monitor
the use of agricultural chemicals. If the
information is not collected data users
could not keep abreast of changes.
