SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Agroforestry Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–NEW. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to create a new information 

collection for a period of three years. 

Abstract: The survey will collect data 

whether the operator uses any of five 

agroforestry practices typically used for 

conservation: Windbreaks, Silvopasture, 

Riparian Forest Buffers, Alley Cropping, 

as well as Forest Farming & Multi-story 

Cropping. 

Windbreaks are linear plantings of 

trees and shrubs designed to provide 

economic, environmental and 

community benefits. The primary 

purpose of most windbreaks is to slow 

the wind which creates a more 

beneficial condition for soils, crops, 

livestock, wildlife and people. 

Silvopasture is the deliberate 

integration of trees and grazing livestock 

operations on the same land. These 

systems are intensively managed for 

both forest products and forage, 

providing both short- and long-term 

income sources. 

A riparian forest buffer is an area 

adjacent to a stream, lake, or wetland 

that contains a combination of trees, 

shrubs, and/or other perennial plants 

and is managed differently from the 

surrounding landscape, primarily to 

provide conservation benefits. 

Forest farming is the cultivation of 

high-value crops under the protection of 

a managed tree canopy. In some parts of 

the world, this is called multi-story 

cropping and when used on a small 

scale in the tropics it is sometimes 

called home gardening. 

Alley cropping is defined as the 

planting of rows of trees and/or shrubs 

to create alleys within which 

agricultural or horticultural crops are 

produced. The trees may include 

valuable hardwood veneer or lumber 

species; fruit, nut or other specialty crop 

trees/shrubs; or desirable softwood 

species for wood fiber production. 

NASS would plan and conduct the 

survey and deliver access to a dataset or 

responses to approved staff from USDAForestry Service, who will publish the 

results of the survey. This project is 

conducted as a cooperative effort with 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

Forestry Service—National Agroforestry 

Center. Funding for this survey is being 

provided by the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture’s Forestry Service—National 

Agroforestry Center. 

Authority: These data will be 

collected under authority of 7 U.S.C. 

2204(a). Individually identifiable data 

collected under this authority are 

governed by Section 1770 of the Food 

Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7 

U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to 

afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by 

respondents. This Notice is submitted in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113, 

44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and Office of 

Management and Budget regulations at 

5 CFR part 1320. 

NASS also complies with OMB 

Implementation Guidance, 

‘‘Implementation Guidance for Title V 

of the E-Government Act, Confidential 

Information Protection and Statistical 

Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’ 

Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June 

15, 2007, p. 33362. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 50 minutes per 

response. NASS plans to mail out 

publicity materials with the 

questionnaires to inform respondents of 

the importance of this survey. NASS 

will also use a single mailing and 

internet data collection tools, followed 

up with phone and limited personal 

enumeration of non-respondents to 

increase response rates and to minimize 

data collection costs. 

Respondents: Farmers and Ranchers 

who reported using agroforestry 

practices on the 2017 Census of 

Agriculture. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

11,800. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 9,500 hours. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, technological, or 

other forms of information technology 

collection methods. 

All responses to this notice will 

become a matter of public record and be 

summarized in the request for OMB 

approval. 

Signed at Washington, DC, May 20, 2021.
