National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Fruit, Nuts, and Specialty
Crops—Substantive Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0039.
Summary of Collection: General
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies
that ‘‘The Secretary of Agriculture shall
procure and preserve all information
concerning agriculture which he can
obtain . . . by the collection of statistics
. . .’’. The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to provide data users with
timely and reliable agricultural
production and economic statistics, as
well as environmental and specialty
agricultural related statistics. To
accomplish this objective, NASS relies
on the use of diverse surveys that show
changes within the farming industry
over time.
The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is seeking approval for
this substantive change request to the
Fruit, Nuts, and Specialty Crops surveys
information collection request. NASS
seeks approval to make substantive
changes to the Maple Syrup Survey. The
Maple Syrup Survey questionnaire
changes and resulting data series that
will not add any additional burden for
the Fruit, Nuts, and Specialty Crops
Survey information collection request.
The changes to the questionnaire and
data series are a consolidation of
production and sales data that resulted
from members of the Maple Industry
approaching NASS with suggestions to
improve the Maple data series and
resulting questionnaire.
Need and Use of the Information:
Data reported on fruit, nut, and
specialty crops are used by NASS to
estimate crop acreage, yield, production,
utilization, price, and value in States
with significant commercial production.
These estimates are essential to farmers,
processors, importers and exporters,
shipping companies, cold storage
facilities and handlers in making
production and marketing decisions.
Estimates from these inquiries are used
by market order administrators in their
determination of expected crop supplies
under federal and State market orders.
