SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Cooperator Funded Chemical 

Use Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0273. 

Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 

2025. 

Type of Request: Intent to Seek 

Approval to Revise and Extend an 

Information Collection for a period of 

three years. 

Abstract: The chemical use data 

collection activities in this clearance 

request would be conducted through 

cooperative agreements with State 

departments of agriculture, land-grant 

universities, or other organizations with 

which NASS has a Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU). Previously, these 

collections were included in the 

Agricultural Resource Management and 

Chemical Use Surveys ICR (0535–0218). 

These chemical use surveys are being 

separated out to allow flexibility for 

survey changes and possible new 

surveys without affecting the surveys 

funded through USDA’s Congressional 

appropriation. 

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, 

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 

varies for the surveys in this 

information collection request, but 

overall will average 35 minutes per 

response. NASS plans to mail out 

publicity materials with the 

questionnaires to inform respondents of 

the importance of this survey. NASS 

will also use mailing and internet data 

collection tools, followed up with 

phone and limited personal 

enumeration of non-respondents to 

increase response rates and to minimize 

data collection costs. 

Respondents: Farmers and Ranchers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

19,500. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 11,400 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Custom Works Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0266. 

Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 

2025. 

Type of Request: Intent to Seek 

Approval to Revise and Extend an 

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 Custom Works program will 

survey farmers who potentially paid for 

custom services during a specified 

reference period to collect information 

on how much they paid for those 

services. These services include land 

tillage, application of fertilizers and 

chemicals, planting, harvesting, hauling, 

various livestock tasks, and many more 

tasks. The program will provide farm 

operators with estimates of the average 

prices paid for different custom services 

in their state and/or local area. All 

questionnaires included in this 

information collection will be 

voluntary. This project is conducted as 

a cooperative effort between NASS and 

state agricultural departments and/or 

universities. Funding will be provided 

by the cooperating institutions under 

full cost recovery. The time between 

when funding for an individual survey 

is secured and the desired start of data 

collection is expected often to be too 

short to allow for a separate OMB 

approval for each survey. With this 

request, NASS will be able to provide 

services in a timelier manner. 

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, 

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 information collection is 

based on similar surveys with expected
