Abstract: USDA Trade Missions and Trade Shows is revising previously approved surveys in order to gather more useful information to further program objectives. The updated surveys have more focused questions to prompt responses that will be used to implement effective trade promotion events and ensure that program objectives are met. For example, the updated surveys will now ask fewer qualitative questions about how participants felt during the event and more questions relating to the type of organizations participating in the program (e.g., whether an organization is a member of a USDA Cooperator or State and Region Trade Group). The surveys will collect relevant data on each organization and their connection to USDA initiatives and programs. Two of the five surveys undergoing revision are applications to gather essential information from respondents desiring to participate in USDA trade missions or virtual trade events to determine their eligibility to take part in the event. The remaining three are voluntary post-event digital surveys for participants to fill out after a USDAendorsed trade show, trade mission, or virtual trade event to report their satisfaction with the event and actual on-site and projected sales data as a direct result of their participation in the program. Trade and sales data supplied on this form is strictly confidential and will not be shared with outside sources. Submitted information from these postevent surveys is used to measure the benefits of these activities for participants, participant satisfaction with the activities, and how activities can be improved. All revised surveys are expected to positively contribute to FAS’ strategic goals related to promoting U.S. agricultural exports. Estimate of Burden: The total number of questions in each revised survey have decreased, resulting in the public reporting burden for each respondent participating in USDA Trade Mission and Shows Events to be approximately 15 minutes for each survey. Trade Missions Application Type of Respondents: Government agencies, State Regional Trade Groups, State Departments of Agriculture, private companies, agricultural cooperatives, and export trade associations. Estimated Number of Respondents: 500 per annum. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 per annum.
