Title: Quick Response for CooperatorFunded Surveys Generic Clearance.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0264.
Type of Request: To revise and extend
a currently approved information

Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to collect, prepare, and issue
state and national estimates of crop and
livestock production, prices, and
disposition; as well as economic
statistics, environmental statistics
related to agriculture; and also to

addition, NASS has many cooperators

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2024 / Notices
from other Federal agencies, State
governments, land grant universities,
and other organizations that seek
NASS’s assistance in collecting
agricultural data through surveys.
Results from these surveys are
important for the cooperators in
carrying out their missions, as well as of
general interest to the agricultural
community. Results from these surveys
will be made available to the public by
NASS or the cooperators who fund
them. This generic clearance seeks
approval for NASS to conduct a variety
of agricultural surveys which will be
paid for entirely by cooperators. NASS
anticipates the cooperator-funded
surveys will cover topics such as: (1)
farm management practices, (2) food
safety, (3) workplace safety, (4)
conservation and land use practices, (5)
chemical use management practices, (6)
crop quality, (7) agri-tourism, (8) local
foods, and (9) other agricultural-related
topics. This generic clearance is subject
to the regular clearance process at OMB
with a 60-day notice and a 30-day notice
as part of the 120-day review period.
Each individual cooperator-funded
survey is then subject to a clearance
process with an abbreviated clearance
package which justifies the particular
content of the survey, describes the
sample design, provides the timeline for
the survey activities, and the
questionnaire. The review period for
each individual survey is approximately
45 days, including a 30-day Federal
Register notice period.
Authority: These data will be
collected under authority of 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 (Pub. L. 104–113,
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

purposes and publishes only tabulated
total data.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this information collection is
estimated to average 30 minutes per
response. Up to 10 individual surveys
are included in this generic clearance to
be conducted annually (total of 30). The
estimated sample size for each of the 30
surveys is approximately 7,500. Each of
the 30 surveys are expected to be
conducted once annually. The estimated
number of responses per respondent is
1. Publicity materials and instruction
sheets will account for approximately 5
minutes of additional burden per
respondent. Respondents who refuse to
complete a survey will be allotted 2
minutes of burden per attempt to collect
the data. NASS will conduct the surveys
initially by mail and/or internet with
phone follow-up for non-response. Faceto-face interviews may also be used in
limited situations.
Respondents: Farmers and ranchers,
and others associated with the
agricultural industry.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
225,000.
Frequency of Responses: Once
annually for each individual survey.
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: The total estimated
burden is 112,000 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
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, technological, or
other forms of information technology
collection methods.
All responses to this notice will
become a matter of public record and be
summarized in the request for OMB
approval.

Appropriations Act, which may or may
not provide funding for this program, in

2025. Successful applications will be
selected by the Agency for funding and
subsequently awarded to the extent that
funding may ultimately be made
available through appropriations. All
applicants are responsible for any
expenses incurred in developing their
applications or any costs incurred prior
to the obligation date.

applications to be received in the RD
State Office for quarterly funding
competitions are no later than 11:59
