food, the environment, and rural

ERS’ data products in general and 

surveys in specific as recommended by 

both its own guidelines and those of 

OMB. Data collection for this collection 

is authorized by the 7 U.S.C. 2204(a).

censuses that are ultimately conducted. 

Specifically, the information will be 

used to reduce respondent burden while 

simultaneously improving the quality of 

the data collected in these surveys. This 

clearance involves one-time
