National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) 

Title: Agricultural Surveys Program— 

Substantive Change. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0213. 

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 (NASS) is requesting a 

substantive change to the Agricultural 

Surveys Program information collection 

request (OMB No. 0535–0213) for 

changes to the June Area Survey as well 

as reinstate the annual July Cattle 

Survey. The proposed changes to the 

methodology and data collection are 

proposed to increase cost efficiency 

while sustaining public data products. 

The changes in this request increases 

burden hours. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

surveys provide the basis for estimates 

of the current season’s crop and 

livestock production and supplies of 

grain in storage. Crop and livestock 

statistics help develop a stable 

economic atmosphere and reduce risk 

for production, marketing, and 

distribution operations. These 

commodities affect the well being of the 

nation’s farmers, commodities markets, 

and national and global agricultural 

policy. Users of agricultural statistics 

are farm organizations, agribusiness, 

state and national farm policy makers, 

and foreign buyers of agricultural 

products but the primary user of the 

statistical information is the producer. 

Agricultural statistics are also used to 

plan and administer other related 

federal and state programs in such areas 

as school lunch program, conservation, 

foreign trade, education, and recreation. 

Collecting the information less frequent 

would eliminate needed data to keep 

the government and agricultural 

industry abreast of changes at the state 

and national levels. 

Description of Respondents: Farms 

and Ranches. 

Number of Respondents: 518,600. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Quarterly; Semi-annually; Monthly; 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 190,943.
