## Economic Research Service

*Title:*                     Experimental Economic Research.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0536-NEW.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The primary function of the Economic Research Service (ERS) is to provide economic and social science research, analysis, and to disseminate data under the authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204 and Section 17 of 7 U.S.C. 2026. ERS is requesting a generic clearance in order to respond quickly to emerging issues and data collection needs.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     Information obtained from randomized comparison studies (lab and field techniques) will be used to develop and calibrate models of behavior. ERS uses behavioral models to estimate a variety of policy outcomes for instance the level of farmer participation in voluntary conservation programs under alternative contract terms or changes in the nutritional quality of meals chosen when healthy items are displayed more prominently. The quality of research that ERS can provide to its stakeholders will be decreased if ERS cannot conduct the requested studies or if studies are conducted less frequently.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Individuals or households.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     5,400.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     6,900.
