National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Title: Agricultural Surveys Program— Substantive Change. OMB Control Number: 0535–0213. Summary of Collection: General authority for these data collection activities is granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies that ‘‘The Secretary of Agriculture shall procure and preserve all information concerning agriculture which he can obtain . . . by the collection of statistics. . .’’. The primary objective of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to provide data users with timely and reliable agricultural production and economic statistics, as well as environmental and specialty agricultural related statistics. To accomplish this objective, NASS relies on the use of diverse surveys that show changes within the farming industry over time. The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is requesting a substantive change to the Agricultural Surveys Program information collection request (OMB No. 0535–0213) for changes to the June Area Survey as well as reinstate the annual July Cattle Survey. The proposed changes to the methodology and data collection are proposed to increase cost efficiency while sustaining public data products. The changes in this request increases burden hours. Need and Use of the Information: The surveys provide the basis for estimates of the current season’s crop and livestock production and supplies of grain in storage. Crop and livestock statistics help develop a stable economic atmosphere and reduce risk for production, marketing, and distribution operations. These commodities affect the well being of the nation’s farmers, commodities markets, and national and global agricultural policy. Users of agricultural statistics are farm organizations, agribusiness, state and national farm policy makers, and foreign buyers of agricultural products but the primary user of the statistical information is the producer. Agricultural statistics are also used to plan and administer other related federal and state programs in such areas as school lunch program, conservation, PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 foreign trade, education, and recreation. Collecting the information less frequent would eliminate needed data to keep the government and agricultural industry abreast of changes at the state and national levels.

    The SNICAS system of records maintains a record of activities 
conducted by the agency pursuant to its mission and responsibilities 
authorized by the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.); the 
Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.); and the Honey Bee 
Act (7 U.S.C. 281 et seq.). The purpose of the system is to record data 
and information about APHIS' SITC activities nationwide. SITC is within 
APHIS' Plant Protection and Quarantine program.
    SITC officials use the information in SNICAS to identify and close 
pathways used for the introduction of prohibited commodities and those 
regulated commodities that lack the necessary certificates and permits 
to enter U.S. commerce. SITC officials also use SNICAS to perform 
activities such as legal and regulatory actions; scientific research;

officials use SNICAS to generate reports to evaluate the risk status of 
the commercial sites where regulated commodities are seized, the 
effectiveness of the program, and quality control of the data.
    APHIS will share information from the system pursuant to the 
requirements of the Privacy Act and, in the case of its routine uses, 
when the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the 
information was compiled. However, the notice allowed for the exemption 
of specific records in the system from certain Privacy Act requirements 
in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) (Investigative Law Enforcement 
Materials). APHIS exempted the system from Privacy Act access 
requirements including 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1); (e)(4)(G), 
(H), and (I); and (f), and indicated that an individual who is the 
subject of a record in this system may not seek access to those records 
that are exempt from the access provisions. A determination of whether 
a record may be accessed would be made at the time a request is 
received.
    In this issue of the Federal Register, we are also publishing a 
delay of effective date for the final rule associated with this 
action.\3\
