Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces the intention of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) to request revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection, the Annual
Organic Survey. USDA’s Risk
Management Agency (RMA) typically
funds an organic production and
practices survey in years where the
Census of Agriculture Special Study for
Organics is not conducted. The next
Special Study is planned for 2025
(enumerated in early 2026). With the
completion of the 2022 Census of
Agriculture, NASS will conduct the
Special Study again, return it to its’
original scope of questions and the
mandatory reporting requirement. This
request will also include the 2026 and
2027 voluntary surveys that are funded
by USDA–RMA. A minor revision to
burden hours will be needed to account
for the anticipated data collection plan
for the upcoming surveys along with
adding some cognitive interviews to test
requested changes to the annual
surveys.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by March 31, 2025 to be
assured of consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Organic Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0249.
Type of Request: Intent to Seek
Renewal of an Information Collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices, and disposition as
well as economic statistics, farm
numbers, land values, on-farm pesticide
usage, pest crop management practices,
as well as the Census of Agriculture.
Originally, the Organic Survey was
designed to be conducted once every
five years as a mandatory, follow-onsurvey to the 2007 Census of
Agriculture and then every five years
after that. In 2011, the Information
Collection Request was renewed to
include that the survey was changed to
accommodate a cooperative agreement
between NASS and the USDA Risk
Management Agency (RMA).
Specifically, the survey was changed to
a voluntary survey that was to be
conducted annually if funding
permitted, and it would allow for a
rotation of target crops each year. With
the completion of the 2012 Census of
Agriculture, NASS renewed the Organic
Survey again and returned it to its
original scope of questions and the
mandatory reporting requirement. After
the completion of the 2014 Organic
Survey, NASS renewed its cooperative
agreement with RMA to conduct the
shorter questionnaire on an annual
basis.
The sample will consist of all certified
organic operations, operations exempt
from organic certification (value of sales
<$5,000), and operations with acres
transitioning into organic certification
from the most recent published Census
of Agriculture as well as organic

operations currently on the NASS list
frame. The survey will be conducted in
all States. Some operation level data
will be collected to use in classifying
each operation for summary purposes.
The majority of the questions will
involve production data (acres planted,
acres harvested, quantity harvested,
quantity sold, livestock produced and
sold, value of sale, etc.), and marketing
and production practices.
Depending on annual funding,
approximately 27,000 operations will be
contacted by mail in late November or
early December, with a second mailing
later in the month to non-respondents.
Respondents will be able to complete
the questionnaire by use of the internet,
if they so choose. Telephone and
personal enumeration will be used for
remaining non-response follow-up. If
the survey is funded, the National
Agricultural Statistics Service will
publish summaries in December at both
the State level and for each major
organic commodity when possible. Due
to confidentiality rules, some State level
data may be combined and published at
the regional or national level to prevent
disclosure of individual operation’s
data.
This collection of data will support
requirements within the Agricultural
Act of 2014. Under section 11023 some
of the duties of the Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation (FCIC) are
defined as ‘‘(i) IN GENERAL—As soon
as possible, but not later than the 2015
reinsurance year, the Corporation shall
offer producers of organic crops price
elections for all organic crops produced
in compliance with standards issued by
the Department of Agriculture under the
national organic program established
under the Organic Foods Production Act
of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) that
reflect the actual retail or wholesale
prices, as appropriate, received by
producers for organic crops, as
determined by the Secretary using all
relevant sources of information. ‘‘(ii)
ANNUAL REPORT.—The Corporation
shall submit to the Committee on
Agriculture of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of
the Senate an annual report on progress
made in developing and improving
Federal crop insurance for organic
crops, including—‘‘(I) the numbers and
varieties of organic crops insured; ‘‘(II)
the progress of implementing the price
elections required under this
subparagraph, including the rate at
which additional price elections are
adopted for organic crops; ‘‘(III) the
development of new insurance
approaches relevant to organic
producers; and ‘‘(IV) any

recommendations the Corporation
considers appropriate to improve
Federal crop insurance coverage for
organic crops’’.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the 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. 104–13
(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.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 43 minutes per
response.
Respondents: Farmers and Ranchers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
27,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 9,500 hours (based on an
estimated 80% response rate, using two
questionnaire mail attempts, two
pressure sealers/postcard mailings, and
an Email blast, followed by phone and
personal enumeration for nonrespondents).
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, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical,
technological, or other forms of
information technology collection
methods.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 14, 2024, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
final results of the 2022–2023
administrative review of the AD order
on CAAS from Türkiye.1 On December
4, 2024, Commerce received allegations
of ministerial errors from Assan
Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.,
Kibar Americas, Inc., and Kibar Dis
Ticaret A.S. (collectively, Assan) and
from Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S.
(Teknik).2 We received no rebuttal
comments. Commerce is amending the
Final Results to correct the ministerial
errors.
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), defines a
‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors
in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ 3 With respect to final
results of administrative reviews, 19
CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce
‘‘will analyze any comments received
and, if appropriate, correct any . . .
ministerial error by amending the final
results of review . . .’’
Ministerial Error
Commerce reviewed the record, and
we agree that the errors alleged by
Assan and Teknik constitute ministerial
errors within the meaning of section
1 See Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from the
Republic of Türkiye: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review; 2022–2023, 89 FR
89965 (November 14, 2024) (Final Results), and
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum
(IDM).
2 See Assan’s Letter, ‘‘Assan Group’s Ministerial
Errors Allegations in the Antidumping Duty Final
Results,’’ dated December 4, 2024; and Teknik’s
Letter, ‘‘Teknik’s Ministerial Error Comments,’’
