in all 50 States. General authority for 

these data collection activities is granted 

under 7 U.S.C. 2204. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

CFS is conducted annually to collect 

total production and sales figures for the 

floriculture industry. Since many items 

included in this survey are seasonal, 

such as cut roses for Valentine’s Day, 

bedding plants for summertime, 

chrysanthemums for fall, and 

poinsettias for Christmas, the survey 

must be conducted annually to get a 

complete data set for this industry. 

Description of Respondents: Farms; 

Businesses or other for-profits. 

Number of Respondents: 12,500. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 11,673. 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Title: Cost of Pollination Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0258. 

Summary of Collection: The primary 

objectives of the National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare 

and issue official State and national 

estimates of crop and livestock 

production, disposition and prices, 

economic statistics, and environmental 

statistics related to agriculture and to 

conduct the Census of Agriculture and 

its follow-on surveys. Pollinators 

(honeybees) are vital to the agricultural 

industry for producing food for the 

world’s population. NASS’ primary 

focus will center on costs associated 

with honey bee pollination, but will 

also collect some basic information 

relating to other forms of pollination. 

General authority for these data 

collection activities is granted under 7 

U.S.C. 2204. 

Need and Use of The Information: 

NASS plans to collect economic data 

under this new collection using the 

‘‘Cost of Pollination Inquiry’’ survey. 

Data relating to the targeted crops 

(fruits, nuts, vegetables and specialty 

crops) will be collected for the total 

number of acres that rely on honey bee 

pollination, the number of honey bee 

colonies that were used on those acres, 

and any cash fees associated with honey 

bee pollination. By publishing both 

regional and crop specific pollination 

costs, both, crop farmers and beekeepers 

will be able to benefit from this 

additional data. 

Description of Respondents: Farms; 

Businesses or other for-profits. 

Number of Respondents: 16,050. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 5,231.
