We are collecting information on costs and returns and need your help to make the information as accurate as possible. Authority for
collection of information on the Costs and Returns Report is Title 7, Section 2204 of the U.S. Code. Under Title 7 of the U.S. Code
and CIPSEA (Public Law 107-347), facts about your operation are kept confidential and used only for statistical purposes. Response

complete this information collection is estimated to average 45 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

During the screening phase of the Vegetable Chemical Use Survey conducted in June and July, your operation was found
to be growing or intending to grow vegetables this year. I now need to verify some of the information collected during the
screening survey.
Verify operation name and operator on label and/or screener.
If no changes, go to Section A, page 4.
If changed, continue to “Change in Operating Status”.
