Title: Workforce Development
Participant Tracking Form.
OMB Number: 0596–0247.
Expiration Date of Approval: February
28, 2022.
Type of Request: Extension with
revisions of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Federal land management
and other agencies are authorized to
offer work and education programs for
individuals in natural and cultural
resources careers and experiences in
partnership with conservation and
service corps, and environmental and
other organizations that contribute to
the rehabilitation, restoration, and
repair of public lands resources and
infrastructure and climate adaptation
and mitigation. Some of the applicable
statutes and regulations include special
hiring authorities, upon completion of
certain requirements. This information
collection request will enable
participating agencies to capture
required and other information that will
aid in workforce development and job
training for young people, returning
veterans and others who are
unemployed or underemployed, and to
monitor compliance with statutory laws
and associated hiring authorities. A
primary, but not exclusionary,
authorizing source for the information
collection is 16 U.S.C. 1702–1727,
chapter 37—Youth Conservation Corps,
Public Lands Corps, Resource Assistants
Program, and Indian Youth Service
Corps. The Public Lands Corps is a work
and education program involving the
nation’s land management agencies,
conservation and service corps, and
environmental organizations that
contribute to the rehabilitation,
restoration, and repair of public lands
resources and infrastructures. Public
Lands Corps projects provide
opportunities for community and
national public service, work experience
and training for young people who are
unemployed or underemployed persons,
students, recent graduates, and others
with an interest in natural and cultural
resources careers.
The Workforce Development
Participant Tracking Form supports the
effective management of the Public
Lands Corps and other workforce
development programs hosted in
partnership with public lands agencies.
The utilization of a common form will:
Assist federal agencies to uniformly
collect information regarding work
accomplished; track and monitor
participant engagement to determine the
completion of requirements for noncompetitive hiring eligibility as defined
in the Act; comply with statutory
reporting requirements; inform effective

outreach strategies to underrepresented
populations and marginalized
communities consistent with efforts to
promote inclusion priorities; and
provide data about project activities that
can be aggregated across federal
agencies.
Information collected, such as
participant demographic information,
and project information, will allow the
Forest Service and other agencies to
monitor the effectiveness of federal
efforts to meet the intent of the
authorizing statutes, including the
Public Lands Corps Act and the
Administration’s Civilian Climate Corps
Initiative. It will allow the Forest
Service and other agencies to engage
under-represented populations in
natural and cultural resource
conservation jobs, development and
scientific research work, and education
on public lands. This information
collection request will ensure that
partners maintain a record of all
workforce development agreements,
grants and contracts established,
participant demographics and
education, project information and work
hours, project locations and dates, and
status of special hiring eligibilities
conferred upon eligible participants.
Proposed Changes to Information
Collection: Changes to the information
collected will help monitor workforce
development partnerships, training and
performance outcomes grounded in
justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion
principles. These changes will also
position agencies to begin monitoring
Civilian Climate Change engagement
pursuant to climate change and
diversity objectives as defined in the
Build Back Better Act of 2021. Land
management and other federal agencies
are working across boundaries to
improve access for partners and reduce
burden, streamline, and standardize
reporting and collect data to inform
evidence-based decision making and
improvements by all parties. Changes to
the form will be integrated with a webbased application for data entry and will
include expanded demographics
reported about veteran and special
ability status genders, vocational and
technical certifications, and education;
enhanced project and type of work data;
and better systems integration,
interagency standards and checks and
balances that improve integrity of
systems and security of Personal
Identifiable Information and program
information.
Type of Respondents: Non-profit
Organizations and Non-Federal
Governmental entities.

of information is necessary for the stated
purposes and the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the collection of information,
including the validity of the

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection methods
or forms of information technology.
All comments received in response to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Agricultural Resource
Management phase 3 Economic
Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 0535–NEW.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to create a new information
collection for a period of three years.
Abstract: The Agricultural Resource
Management Survey(s) (ARMS) are the
primary source of information for the
U.S. Department of Agriculture on a
broad range of issues related to:
jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
DATES:
Production practices, costs and returns,
and contractor expenses. Data are
collected on both a whole farm level
and on selected commodities. This
Notice and information collection will
focus on the ARMS phase 3 Economic
Surveys, previously included in the
Agricultural Resource Management and
Chemical Use Surveys Information
Collection Request (OMB Control
Number 0535–0218).
The ARMS phase 3 Economic Surveys
are the only annual source of
information available for objective
evaluation of many critical issues
related to agriculture and the rural
economy, such as: Annual whole farm
finance data, including data sufficient to
construct estimates of income for farms
by: Type of operation, loan
commodities, income for operator
households, credit, structure, and
organization; marketing information;
and other economic data on input usage,
production practices, and crop
substitution possibilities.
Data from ARMS are used to produce
estimates of net farm income by type of
commercial producer as required in 7
U.S.C. 7998 as amended and estimates
of enterprise production costs as
required in 7 U.S.C. 1441(a) as
amended. Data from ARMS are also
used as weights in the development of
the Prices Paid Index, a component of
the Parity Index referred to in the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as
amended. These indexes are used to
calculate the annual federal grazing fee
rates as described in the Public
Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978
and Executive Order 12548 and as
promulgated in regulations found at 36
CFR 222.51, as amended.
In addition, ARMS is used to produce
estimates of sector-wide production
expenditures and other components of
income that are used in constructing the
estimates of income and value-added
which are transmitted to the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Economic Analysis, by the USDA
Economic Research Service (ERS) for
use in constructing economy-wide
estimates of Gross Domestic Product.
This transmittal of data, prepared using
the ARMS, is undertaken to satisfy a
1956 agreement between the Office of
Management and Budget, and the
Departments of Agriculture and
Commerce that a single set of estimates
be published on farm income.
In this approval request for the next
three years; the ARMS 3 surveys will
overlap with the 2022 Census of
Agriculture (conducted in 2023, OMB
Control Number 0535–0226) and the
Tenure, Ownership and Transition of
Agricultural Land (TOTAL, OMB
Control Number 0535–0240) which will
be conducted in 2024. In January 2023,
the farm operators selected to complete
the ARMS phase 3 survey will have the
option of completing either the ARMS 3
questionnaire or the Census of
Agriculture, but will not have to do
both. The ARMS phase 3 questionnaire
contains the same essential questions as
the Census.
In 2024, farm operators who are
selected to complete the ARMS phase 3
and the TOTAL survey will have the
option of completing the ARMS 3
questionnaire and not having to
complete the TOTAL survey. The ARMS
phase 3 questionnaire contains the same
essential questions as the TOTAL.
The commodity specific questionnaire
versions that are scheduled to be
conducted in the next three years are
included in the following table.
