National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Hawaii Agricultural Theft
Survey.
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 in Hawaii. Each selected
farmer or rancher will be asked to
provide data on (1) Number and value
of theft, vandalism, and trespassing
incidents in 2024, (2) How many
incidents were reported and acted on,
and (3) How much was spent to reduce
future incidents along with
effectiveness.
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
recovery basis with the Hawaii
Department of Agriculture.
Need and Use of the Information:
Interest in this topic has been expressed
by producers along with a possible
program to reduce agricultural theft/
vandalism/trespassing. Hawaii farmers
and ranchers will benefit from this
survey by having statistically defensible
estimates of theft/vandalism/trespassing
from 2024 at the local level. The Hawaii
Department of Agriculture (HDOA) has
entered into a cooperative agreement
with NASS to conduct an Agricultural
Theft Survey. The purpose of this
survey is to ascertain the extent of loss

National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS)
Title: Vegetable Surveys—Substantive
Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0037.
Summary of Collection: The primary
function of the National Agricultural
Statistics (NASS) is to prepare and issue
current official state and national
estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices and disposition. The
Vegetable Surveys Program obtains
basic agricultural statistics for fresh
market and processing vegetables in
major producing States. The vegetable
program has two types of utilization:
some crops are processing only, some
are fresh market only, and others are
dual crops (both processing and fresh
market). The vegetable program surveys
growers, who are contacted in
November and asked to report acres
planted and harvested, quantity of
vegetables produced, and how much of
their crop was sold through fresh
markets or for processing along with the
correlating prices.
The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is requesting a
substantive change to the Vegetable
Surveys information collection request
(OMB No. 0535–0037) for program
changes. Every five years NASS
conducts a program review following
the completion of the Census of
Agriculture. The program changes
balance resources across all of the
programs included in the annual
estimating program, which represents
over 400 individual reports across
multiple Information Collection
Requests (ICRs). This substantive
change is to accommodate the vegetable
program changes that affect this ICR.
The methodology, publication dates,
burden and data collection plan do not
change as result of these program
changes.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS will collect information to
estimate acreage intended to plant,
acreage planted, acreage harvested,
yield/production, price, and utilization
for the various crops. The estimates
provide vital statistics for growers,
processors, and marketers to use in
making production and marketing
decisions.

Title: Objective Yield Surveys—
Substantive Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0088.
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 primary functions of the National
Agricultural Statistics Services’ (NASS)
are to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, disposition, and prices and
to collect information on related
environmental and economic factors.
The Field Crops Production Program
consists of probability field crops
surveys and supplemental panel
surveys. These surveys are extremely
valuable for commodities where acreage
and yield are published at the county
level. NASS will use surveys to collect
information through a combination of
the internet, mail, telephone, and
personnel interviews. The general
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
title 7, section 2204.
The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is requesting a
substantive change to the Field Crops
Production information collection
request (OMB No. 0535–0088) for
program changes. Every five years NASS
conducts a program review following
the completion of the Census of
Agriculture. The program changes in
this change request balance resources
across all of the programs included in
the annual estimating program ensuring
NASS’ annual statistical program aligns
with its appropriation. This substantive
change is to accommodate the field crop
program changes that affect this ICR.
The changes in this request decreases
burden hours.
Need and Use of The Information:
Sample fields are randomly selected for
these crops, plots are laid out, and
periodic counts and measurements are
taken and then used to forecast

Need and Use of the Information: The
surveys provide the basis for estimates
of the current season’s crop and
livestock production and supplies of
grain in storage. Crop and livestock
statistics help develop a stable
economic atmosphere and reduce risk
for production, marketing, and
distribution operations. These
commodities affect the well being of the
nation’s farmers, commodities markets,
and national and global agricultural
policy. Users of agricultural statistics
are farm organizations, agribusiness,

state and national farm policy makers,
and foreign buyers of agricultural
products but the primary user of the
statistical information is the producer.
Agricultural statistics are also used to
plan and administer other related
federal and state programs in such areas
as school lunch program, conservation,
foreign trade, education, and recreation.
Collecting the information less frequent
would eliminate needed data to keep
the government and agricultural
industry abreast of changes at the state
and national levels.
