## National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)

*Title:*                     Feral Swine Survey—Substantive Change.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0535-0256.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     General authority for these data collection activities is granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies that “The Secretary of Agriculture shall procure and preserve all information concerning agriculture which he can obtain . . . by the collection of statistics . . .”. The primary objective of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to provide data users with timely and reliable agricultural production and economic statistics, as well as environmental and specialty agricultural related statistics. To accomplish this objective, NASS relies on the use of diverse surveys that show changes within the farming industry over time.                

The National Agricultural Statistics Service is seeking approval to change a survey that will collect data related to the number of feral swine in the US and the amount and type of damages caused by them. In the previous collection that was conducted in 2021 the primary focus was on the amount of damage that was caused to selected livestock in the target states.

The focus for the 2022 survey will involve 11 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas), to measure the damage to corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, peanuts, and sorghum crops that is associated with the presence of feral swine. These States were chosen because they had high feral swine densities and a significant presence of the target crops. The revised questionnaire can be viewed in the Reginfo system mentioned above.

The changes to these surveys will decrease burden hours by 3,216 for a new total of 6,435 hours for this information collection request.

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     These changes will allow for data to be analyzed and published on the amount and type of damages to selected crops caused by feral swine.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Farms and Ranches.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     12,000.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: Once.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     6,435.
