SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 2023 Census of Aquaculture. OMB Control Number: 0535–0237. Type of Request: Statement to Seek Reinstatement of an Information Collection. Abstract: The population for the 2023 Census of Aquaculture will include any farm or operation from which $1,000 or more of aquaculture products were produced and sold, or produced and distributed for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes in 2023. The aquaculture census will provide data on the number of farms, acreage, method of production, production and sales by aquaculture species, and sales outlets. Census data are used by the farmers, their representatives, the government, and many other groups of people concerned with the aquaculture industry. The census will provide a comprehensive inventory of aquaculture farms and their production. Results from the census will be used to evaluate new programs, disburse Federal funds, analyze market trends, and help determine the economic impact aquaculture has on the economy. The aquaculture census will provide the only source of dependable, comparable data by State. Authority: The census of agriculture and subsequent follow-on censuses are required by law under the ‘‘Census of DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10077 Agriculture Act of 1997,’’ Public Law 105–113, 7 U.S.C. 2204(g).

Type of Request: Statement to Seek Reinstatement of an Information Collection. Abstract: The 2023 Irrigation and Water Management Survey is conducted every 5 years as authorized by the Census of Agriculture Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–113). The 2023 Irrigation and Water Management Survey will use a combined probability sample of all farms and horticultural operations that reported irrigation and/or irrigation equipment on the 2022 Census of Agriculture. This irrigation survey aims to provide a comprehensive inventory of farm irrigation practices with detailed data relating to acres irrigated by category of land use, acres and yields of irrigated and non-irrigated crops, quantity of water applied, and method of application to selected crops. Also included will be 2023 expenditures for maintenance and repair of irrigation equipment and facilities; purchase of energy for on-farm pumping of irrigation water; investment in irrigation equipment, facilities, and land improvement; cost of water received from off-farm water supplies; and questions related to water reuse and security. The irrigation questions for horticultural specialties will provide the area irrigated in the open and under protection, source of water, and the irrigation method used at the State level and by 20 Water Resource Regions (WRR). A table will be published showing the total estimated quantity of water applied for crops including horticultural specialties. Irrigation data are used by the farmers, their representatives, government agencies, and many other groups concerned with the irrigation industry and water use issues. This survey will provide the only source of dependable, comparable irrigation data by State and Water Resources Region (WRR). The National Agricultural Statistics Service will use the information collected only for statistical purposes and will publish the data only as aggregate totals.
