AGENCY: National Agricultural Statistics 

Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of suspension of data 

collection and publication. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

intention of the National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS) to suspend a 

currently approved information 

collection, the Agricultural Labor 

Survey, and its associated publication. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joseph T. Reilly, Associate 

Administrator, National Agricultural 

Statistics Service, U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, (202) 720–4333. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Agricultural Labor Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0109. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2012. 

Type of Request: To suspend a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

is to prepare and issue state and 

national estimates of crop and livestock 

production, disposition, and prices. The 

Agricultural Labor Survey provides 

quarterly statistics on the number of 

agricultural workers, hours worked, and 

wage rates. Number of workers and 

hours worked are used to estimate 

agricultural productivity; wage rates are 

used in the administration of the H–2A 

Program and for setting Adverse Effect 

Wage Rates. Survey data are also used 

to carry out provisions of the 

Agricultural Adjustment Act. 

NASS will suspend this information 

collection as of May 18, 2011 due to 

budget constraints. NASS will not 

publish the April Farm Labor report due 

for release on Thursday, May 19, 2011. 

The Farm Labor reports for July, and 

October 2011 will also not be published 

unless there is a change in the 

anticipated budget shortfall. 

Authority: These data were 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, 7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires 

USDA to afford strict confidentiality to 

non-aggregated data provided by 

respondents. 

Estimate of Burden: There will be no 

further public reporting burden for this 

quarterly collection of information. 

Signed at Washington, DC, April 3, 2011.

Associate Administrator.
