National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS)
Title: Agricultural Surveys Program—
January Sheep Survey—Substantive
Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0213.
Summary of Collection: General
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies
that ‘‘The Secretary of Agriculture shall
procure and preserve all information
concerning agriculture which he can
obtain . . . by the collection of statistics
. . .’’. The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to provide data users with
timely and reliable agricultural
production and economic statistics, as
well as environmental and specialty
agricultural related statistics. To
accomplish this objective, NASS relies
on the use of diverse surveys that show
changes within the farming industry
over time.
Using the Sheep and Goat Report—
January 1, 2019, NASS collects sheep
and goat inventory numbers, lamb and
kid births, wool production and prices,
death losses, and periodically NASS
collects information on inventory losses
due to predators. In January 2020 NASS
would like to add additional questions
to the predator loss section of the
questionnaire. This is being done in
response to a request by the Animal,
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS). The majority of the questions
that will be added to the January 2020
questionnaire are included in the Master
Questionnaire that was included in the
original docket that was submitted to
OMB for approval in April 2017. In
addition there will be a couple of
questions that were approved in the
previous docket (Oct. 2014) relating to
nonlethal predator control methods
used on sheep farms. The few new
questions that will be added to the
survey relate to the movement of sheep
from the farm, the use of identification
tags on the sheep, the use of government
trappers used to control predators and if
the operation quit raising sheep, what
was the reason.
This substantive change resulted in an
overall increase in response burden of
approximately 2,800 hours or about 10
minutes per completed questionnaire.
The sample size will remain the same.
Need and Use of the Information: In
order for APHIS to be able to measure
