SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Fruits, Nuts, and Specialty 

Crops Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0039. 

Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 

2026. 

Type of Request: To revise and extend 

a currently approved information 

collection for a period of three years. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) is to collect, prepare and issue 

State and national estimates of crop and 

livestock production, prices, and 

disposition; as well as economic 

statistics, environmental statistics 

related to agriculture and also to 

conduct the Census of Agriculture. 

The Fruits, Nuts, and Specialty Crops 

survey program collects information on 

acreage, yield, production, price, and 

value of citrus and non-citrus fruits and 

nuts and other specialty crops in States 

with significant commercial production. 

The program provides data needed by 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture and 

other government agencies to administer 

programs and to set trade quotas and 

tariffs. Producers, processors, other 

industry representatives, State 

Departments of Agriculture, and 

universities also use forecasts and 

estimates provided by these surveys. All 

questionnaires included in this 

information collection will be 

voluntary. 

The following survey is no longer 

funded by a cooperative agreement and 

constitute the majority of changes from 

the current approval: (1) Dried Plum 

(Prune) Forecast Survey previously 

funded by the California Department of 

Food and Agriculture. 

Authority: These data will be 

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 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. 104–113) 

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 information collection is 

based on approximately 50 individual 

surveys with expected response times of 

10—60 minutes. The frequency of data 

collection for the different surveys will 

include annual, seasonal, quarterly, 

monthly, and one weekly survey. 

Estimated number of responses per 

respondent is 1.2. Publicity materials 

and instruction sheets will account for 

approximately 5 minutes of additional 

burden per respondent. Respondents 

who refuse to complete a survey will be 

allotted 2 minutes of burden per attempt 

to collect the data. Respondents: 

Producers, processors, and handlers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

59,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 30,000 hours. 

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, through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, technological or 

other forms of information technology 

collection methods. 

All responses to this notice will 

become a matter of public record and be 

summarized in the request for OMB 

approval. 

Signed at Washington, DC, August 9, 2023.
