## Economic Research Service.

*Title:*                     Foodborne Illness Valuation Survey.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0536-NEW.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Economic Research Service (ERS) will be conducting a national Foodborne Illness Valuation Survey. The mission of ERS is to provide timely research and analysis to public and private decision makers on topics related to agriculture, food, the environment, and rural America. ERS has a long history of providing estimates of the cost of foodborne illnesses in the United States. These estimates approximate the public's willingness to pay to prevent foodborne illnesses. This survey is designed to enhance the accuracy of those estimates.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     The purpose of this survey is to estimate individuals' willingness to pay to prevent the direct disutility from illnesses that can be foodborne. This component of willingness to pay is not currently included in ERS cost of foodborne illness estimates due to a lack of research. These estimates can only be obtained using surveys like the one to be fielded. Having these estimates will provide a more complete estimate of the value of preventing foodborne illnesses in the United States.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Individuals.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     3,000.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     one time only.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     2,000.
