Summary of Collection: The primary
function of the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) is to prepare
and issue current official state and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production. Estimates of fruit, tree nuts,

of this program. These estimates support
the NASS strategic plan to cover all
agricultural cash receipts. The authority
to collect these data activities is granted
under U.S. Code title 7, Section 2204(a).
Information is collected on a voluntary
basis from growers, processors, and
handlers through surveys.
Need and Use of the Information:

crops and Hawaii tropical crops are
used by NASS to estimate acreage,
yield, production, price, utilization, and
value of citrus and non-citrus fruits and
nuts and other specialty crops in States
with significant commercial production.
These estimates are essential to farmers,
processors, and handlers in making
production and marketing decisions.
Estimates from these inquiries are used
by market order administrators in their
determination of expected supplies of
crop under federal and state market
orders as well as competitive fruits and
nuts.

Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 70,805.
