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.
