SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Hemp Production and
Disposition Inquiry.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0270.
Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2024.
Type of Request: Intent to Seek
Approval to Revise and Extend an
Information Collection for 3 years.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, disposition, and prices. The
2018 Farm Bill requires USDA to
promulgate regulations and guidelines
to establish and administer a program
for the production of hemp in the
United States.
As defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, the
term ‘‘hemp’’ means the plant species
Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that
plant, including the seeds thereof and
all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids,
isomers, acids, salts, and salts of
isomers, whether growing or not, with a
delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol
concentration of not more than 0.3
percent on a dry weight basis. Delta-9
tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the
primary intoxicating component of
cannabis. Cannabis with a THC level
exceeding 0.3 percent is considered
marijuana, which remains classified as
a schedule I controlled substance
regulated by the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) under the
Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
Under the Agricultural Act of 2014
(2014 Farm Bill), Public Law 113–79,
State departments of agriculture and
institutions of higher education were
permitted to produce hemp as part of a
pilot program for research purposes.
The authority for hemp production
provided in the 2014 Farm Bill was
extended by the 2018 Farm Bill, which
was signed into law on December 20,
2018.
Hemp is a commodity that can be
used for numerous industrial and
horticultural purposes including fabric,
paper, construction materials, food
products, cosmetics, production of
cannabinoids (such as cannabidiol or
CBD), and other products.
In determining the type of data that
would need to be collected and the
frequency of the data collections, NASS
management attended a joint meeting
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
with representatives from the USDA’s
Economic Research Service (ERS), Farm
Service Agency (FSA), Risk
Management Agency (RMA),
Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS),
and the Office of the Secretary.
Authority: The data will be collected
under the authority of the Domestic
Hemp Production Program, which is
mandated by the Agriculture
Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm
Bill). In addition, the data will be
collected under the authority of Title 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. NASS
uses the information only for statistical
purposes and publishes only tabulated
total data.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 15 minutes per
response. Publicity materials and
instruction sheets will account for 5
minutes of additional burden per
respondent.
Respondents: Farmers and Ranchers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
8,025.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,600 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
