The Pecan Promotion, Research, and Information Order (Order) (7 CFR part 1223) is authorized under the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996 (1996 Act) (7 U.S.C. 7411–7425). The Order became effective on February 12, 2021. Currently, the Pecan program is administered by the American Pecan Promotion Board (Board) which is appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture and financed by a mandatory assessment on producers and importers of inshell and shelled pecans. The assessment rate is levied at $0.02 per pound on all inshell pecans and $0.04 per pound on all shelled pecans. The program provides an exemption for producers and importers that produce or import fewer than 50,000 pounds of inshell pecans (25,000 pounds of shelled pecans) on average for four fiscal periods (the fiscal period for which the exemption is claimed and the previous three fiscal periods).

One element of a user’s online survey response experience is logging in to the survey.

The current method requires users to enter a 12-digit code that is sent to them in the mail from the Census Bureau in addition to the use of a generated 4-digit PIN for re-entry, with security questions for individuals who forget their PIN. The three additional methods require user verification through a two-factor authentication process, where a user would provide information like an email, phone number, or account log in (e.g., Microsoft) and then enter an 8-digit verification code that has been sent to them in email or text in addition to a 12digit code that has been mailed to them by the Census Bureau. The test will study which industrystandard authentication methods works best for respondents in a dependent survey response setting by measuring log in success. The test will be designed to measure log in success for subpopulations, including historically undercounted populations. Affected Public: Individuals or households.
