SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Objective Yield Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0088.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2023.
Type of Request: To revise and extend
a currently approved information
collection for a period of three years.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to collect, prepare and issue
State and national estimates of crop and
livestock production, prices and
disposition as well as economic
statistics, farm numbers, land values,
on-farm pesticide usage, pest crop
management practices, as well as the
Census of Agriculture. The Objective
Yield Surveys objectively predict yields
for corn, cotton, potatoes, soybeans,
wheat, citrus, almonds, walnuts, and
hazelnuts. Sample fields are randomly
selected for these crops, plots are laid
out, and periodic counts and
measurements are taken and then used
to forecast production during the
growing season. Production forecasts are
published in USDA crop reports.
The fruit and nut objective yield
surveys are conducted under
cooperative agreements with several
State Departments of Agriculture. The
individual States will be reimbursing
NASS for the costs associated with these
additional surveys. The surveys will
include: California citrus, almonds and
walnuts; Florida citrus; and Oregon
hazelnuts.
The increased burden hours and
sample sizes reported below include
these additional surveys.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the authority of 7 U.S.C.
2204(a). Individually identifiable data
collected under this authority are
governed by Section 1770 of the Food
Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7
U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to
afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by

respondents. This Notice is submitted in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and Office
of Management and Budget regulations
at 5 CFR part 1320.
All NASS employees and NASS
contractors must also fully comply with
all provisions of the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 2018, Title
III of Public Law 115–435, codified in
44 U.S.C. Ch. 35. CIPSEA supports
NASS’s pledge of confidentiality to all
respondents and facilitates the agency’s
efforts to reduce burden by supporting
statistical activities of collaborative
agencies through designation of NASS
agents, subject to the limitations and
penalties described in CIPSEA.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average between 2 and
30 minutes per respondent.
Respondents: Farmers, ranchers, or
farm managers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
13,500.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 4,500 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.
