Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 33 / Friday, February 16, 2024 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 substantive change to the Agricultural Resource Management Phases 1 & 2 and Chemical Use Surveys information collection request (OMB No. 0535–0218) for an increase in sample size due to screening for changes resulting from the reinstatement of the Tenure, Ownership and Transition of Agricultural Land (TOTAL) for 2024. Every 10 years NASS conducts the TOTAL as a follow-on survey to the 2022 Census of Agriculture and are authorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 as amended. The Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) Phase 3 (OMB # 0535–0275) will be suspended for a period of one year. The suspended survey will be the 2024 survey that would have been conducted in 2025. The scope of the TOTAL survey is greater than that of the ARMS 3 survey. To maintain the ARMS 3 data series, data will be gleaned from the TOTAL surveys to replace the 2024 ARMS 3 data collection. As a result of the ARMS 3 data being gleaned from TOTAL, the 2024 Integrated Screening Survey (ISS) will include the screening for the TOTAL. Current screening sample size approved for this ICR is 100,000. This substantive change documents the need for the sample size to be increased. Need and Use of the Information: ARMS is the only annual source of whole farm information available for objective evaluation of many critical issues related to agriculture and the rural economy. This issues that will be addressed in this request are: input usage, production practices, and chemical use. Without these data, decision makers cannot analyze and report on critical issues that affect farms and farm households when pesticide regulatory actions are being considered. Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit. Number of Respondents: 416,150. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Quarterly; Semi-annually; Monthly; Annually. Total Burden Hours: 52,147. National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Title: Water Use Survey. OMB Control Number: 0535–0262. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:24 Feb 15, 2024 Jkt 262001 (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 Water Use survey program will collect information on water usage for North Carolina agricultural operations that likely use between 10,000 and 1,000,000 gallons per day. Agricultural operations who use over 1,000,000 gallons in any one day are required to report their water usage directly to North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) and are not included in this survey. All questionnaires included in this information collection will be voluntary. This project is conducted as a cooperative effort with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Funding for this survey is being provided by NCDACS. Need and Use of the Information: The program will help the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS) and NCDEQ fulfill the requirements of North Carolina state legislation enacted in 2008 (SL2008–0143). Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit. Number of Respondents: 4,000. Frequency of Responses: Once for the even numbered years. Data are collected on the odd number years. Total Burden Hours: 1,918. National Agricultural Statistics Service Title: Oregon and Washington Christmas Tree Survey—Production Year 2023. OMB Control Number: 0535–0264. Summary of Collection: The primary objectives of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare and issue official State and national estimates of crop and livestock production, disposition and prices, economic statistics, and environmental statistics related to agriculture and to conduct the Census of Agriculture and its follow-on surveys. NASS will conduct a survey of agricultural operations with Christmas Tree acreage in Oregon and Washington. Selected farmers will be asked to provide data on (1) Number of trees sold and gross sales both by species and county, (2) Number of new seedlings by species, and (3) Percentage of mortality. General authority for these data collection activities is granted under U.S.C. Title 7, Section 2204. This survey will be conducted on a full cost PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12303 recovery basis with the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Washington State Department of Agriculture. Need and Use of the Information: Oregon leads the nation in Cut Christmas Tree production, with Washington also a major producer. NASS estimates have brought stability into this important Pacific Northwest industry. No other data source is available to enable growers to make decisions about production. This project involves sending a survey questionnaire to growers, following up on nonresponse with telephone calls, editing, analyzing, and summarizing the data. Estimates are generated, including adjustment for non-response for number of trees and value, by variety, seedlings planted by variety, geographic area, and other selected characteristics of Christmas Trees in the states of Oregon and Washington. Description of Respondents: A sample of all active agricultural operations with Christmas Trees in Oregon and Washington. Sampling will include strata based on acreage. Number of Respondents: 600. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Once a year. Total Burden Hours: 147. Levi S. Harrell, Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
