National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Quick Response for Cooperatorfunded Surveys Generic Clearance.
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. In addition to the
many statistical activities directly
related to its mission, the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
will lend technical expertise to other
Federal agencies, State governments,
land grant universities, and other
organizations which have a
Memorandum of Understanding with
NASS. These entities will be referred to
as cooperators. NASS provides support
and assistance in the areas of
questionnaire & sample design as well
as analysis of survey results. NASS
would like to include data collection to
its list of services, utilizing the existing
Cooperative Agreement with the
National State Departments of
Agriculture (NASDA). The data
collection activities in this generic
clearance request would be conducted
through cooperative agreements with
Federal agencies, State departments of
agriculture, land-grant universities, or
other organizations with which NASS
has a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU). The surveys will be conducted
under a full-cost recovery basis. These
cooperators have sought out NASS’s
assistance to provide statistics beneficial
to agriculture, but are not covered by
NASS’s annual Congressional
appropriation. General authority for
conducting cooperative projects is
granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section
450a which states that USDA officials
may, ‘‘enter into agreements with and
receive funds . . . for the purpose of
conducting cooperative research
projects . . .’’ This authority has been
delegated to NASS. Response to all
surveys collected under this generic
clearance is voluntary.
NASS benefits from these cooperative
agreements by: (1) Obtaining additional
data to update its list of farm operators;
(2) encouraging both parties to
coordinate Federal survey activities and
activities funded under a cooperative
agreement to reduce the need for
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
overlapping data collection and/or
spread-out respondent burden; and (3)
facilitating additional promotion of
NASS surveys and statistical reports
funded by annual Congressional
appropriations. Respondents benefit
from these cooperative agreements by:
(1) Having their reported data protected
by Federal Law (U.S. Code title 18,
section 1905; U.S. Code title 7, section
2276; and title III of Pub. L. 115–435
codified in 44 U.S.C. ch. 35 and other
applicable Federal laws, (CIPSEA)); (2)
having data collection activities for
Federal and Cooperative surveys
coordinated to minimize respondent
burden; and (3) having high-quality
agricultural data that are important to a
state or region be collected and
published.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS would like to conduct up to 10
surveys each year in response to
requests from cooperators who have
data needs that cannot be met through
NASS’s annual Congressional
appropriations.
NASS would like to include surveys
that would cover topics such as:
—Farm management practices,
—Food safety,
—Workplace safety,
—Conservation and land use practices,
—Chemical use management practices,
—Crop quality,
—Agri-tourism, local foods, or other
specific agricultural promotion
programs.
The summarized and published
information will be analyzed by the
sponsoring cooperators and
stakeholders in agriculture. Results will
be used to study
—production agriculture as well as
—various programs and policies to
determine their impact on agricultural
producers and consumers.
Description of Respondents: Private
Sector; Businesses or other for-profits;
Farms.
Number of Respondents: 225,000.
