Change Request for Increase in Sample Size for County Estimates Survey

Change Request, Field Crop Production Sample Sizes, OMB No. 0535-0002

NASS is submitting this non-substantive change request for increasing the sample size for the County Estimates Survey. When NASS previously submitted this docket for approval we submitted an estimated sample size of 300,000 operations for County Estimates, this was based on previous 2 year’s sample sizes. The actual sample size for 2008 should be 400,000 for County Estimates. The change is the result of normal sampling procedures and not the result of any methodology changes.
