Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
for operations with five or more
colonies is estimated to average 20
minutes per response for the annual Bee
and Honey survey and 15 minutes per
respondent for the quarterly Colony
Loss Survey. Operations with less than
five colonies will be excluded from this
renewal request which will reduce
overall respondent burden by an
estimated 2,100 hours. Publicity
materials and instruction sheets will
account for 5 minutes of additional
burden per respondent. Respondents
who refuse to complete a survey will be
allotted 2 minutes of burden per attempt
to collect the data.
Respondents: Farmers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12,200.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: With an estimated
response rate of approximately 80%, we
estimate the total burden to be
approximately 7,500 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, technological or
other forms of information technology
collection methods.
All responses to this notice will
become a matter of public record and be
summarized in the request for OMB
approval.
Signed at Washington, DC, April 23, 2020.
Kevin L. Barnes,
Associate Administrator.
