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, quantity of water applied, and method of application to selected crops. The 2023 survey will also collect 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. 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). The survey will publish tables showing the total estimated quantity of water applied, including one for crops. Irrigation data items are used by farmers, farming representatives, government agencies, and many other groups concerned with the irrigation industry and water use. 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.

    The National 4-H Conference at the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
(USDA) is known as the ``Secretary's Conference'' and has been the 
flagship youth development opportunity of USDA since 1927. The 
objectives of National 4-H Conference are to: develop the next 
generation of leaders; increase youths' familiarity with the government

and future career opportunities; and provide an opportunity for young 
people involved in 4-H in rural, urban and Tribal communities to share 
their voice on a national level with the federal government.
    National 4-H Conference is administered by the National Institute 
of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) of the USDA. NIFA has determined that

statutory authority under Section 7511(f)(2) of the Food, Conservation, 
and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246), as amended.
    All NIFA Land-grant Colleges and Universities (1862, 1890, and

along with chaperones to National 4-H Conference. Each is encouraged to 
partner within their state to select a diverse state delegation based

company, authorized under 7 U.S.C. 3318(c), who provides the required 
goods and services to ensure National 4-H Conference is successful at 
achieving its objectives.
    The information collection is used by USDA and the logistics 
company to ensure youth and adults who would like to attend or serve in 
a leadership role at National 4-H Conference can be contacted, submit 
activity and dietary preferences, meet eligibility requirements, and
