An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) 

Title: Agricultural Resource 

Management and Chemical Use 

Surveys—Substantive Change. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0218. 

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 ARMS and 

Chemical Use Survey information 

collection request (OMB No. 0535–0218) 

for the 2022 ARMS Phase 1 (Screening 

Survey), ARMS Phase 2, Chemical Use, 

and ARMS Phase 3 (Costs and Returns 

Survey). The change is needed for two 

purposes: 

• Announce target commodities for 

the 2022 cycle, and 

• To collect data from additional 

historically underserved farm producer 

groups. 

The target commodities for the 2022 

cycle are: Wheat (winter, Durum, and 

other spring wheat), potatoes, and 

vegetable chemical use. Collecting data 

from additional historically underserved 

farm producer groups is in response to 

the Biden Administration’s top priority 

of advancing equity for all Americans. 

The changes to these surveys will 

increase burden hours by 7,035 for a 

new total of 127,863 hours for this 

information collection request. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

USDA’s Economic Research Service will 

likely incorporate the data in their 

standard publications which will adhere 

to their normal publication schedules. 

In addition, ERS has the expectation 

that the data will be used to generate 

additional reports, bulletins, and journal 

articles. 

Description of Respondents: Farms 

and Ranches. 

Number of Respondents: 131,930. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Less than five times per year. 

Total Burden Hours: 127,863. 

Dated: April 26, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Restricted, Prohibited, and 

Controlled Importation of Animal and 

Poultry Products and Byproducts Into 

the United States. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0015. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Animal Health 

Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is the 

primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The AHPA 

gives the Secretary of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) 

broad authority to detect, control, or 

eradicate pests or diseases of livestock 

or poultry. The Secretary may also 

prohibit or restrict import or export of 

any animal or related material if 

necessary to prevent the spread of any 

livestock or poultry pest or disease. 

Disease prevention is the most 

effective method for maintaining a 

healthy animal population and for 

enhancing USDA’s Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS’) 

ability to compete globally in animal 

and animal product and byproduct 

trade. In connection with this mission, 

APHIS enforces regulations regarding 

both the importation of controlled 

materials and the prevention of foreign 

animal disease incursions into the 

United States. These regulations are 

located in 9 CFR parts 94, 95, and 122. 

APHIS engages in a number of 

information collection activities to 

prevent or control the spread of 

livestock diseases via the restricted, 

prohibited, and controlled importation 

of animal and poultry products and 

byproducts into the United States, 

including, but not limited to, 

certificates, applications, agreements, 

appeals and cancellations of 

agreements, placards and statements, 

permissions to import, notifications, 

government seals, and marking 

requirements. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, for an 

additional 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1.76 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers, exporters, 

processing operators, foreign federal 

governments, foreign veterinarians, port 

personnel, museums, educational 

institutions, transportation operators, 

and carrier personnel. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 30,838. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 2. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 64,197. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 112,219 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 26th day of 

April 2022.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service.
