NASS (with DOL/ETA) agrees to conduct a pilot test during the approved clearance period to examine the impact of implementing Standard Occupational Classification Codes in this collection, and ways to reduce estimated negative impact, if any. Use of Standard Occupational Classification Codes is consistent with the OMB statistical directive. The results and recommendations (based on empirical data regarding burden, cost, and quality, and expected around end calendar year 2014) will be submitted to OMB as part of the next submission package for this collection. If funds are not available for the pilot test, or if the pilot test will be delayed such that results would not be available at the time of next submission, NASS agrees to alert OMB immediately (within 2 weeks of notification from ETA) so that a proper course of action regarding this collection may be taken. In the interim period while the testing is being conducted, NASS will provide the coding crosswalk from NASS codes to Standard Occupational Classification codes with the published survey results (where possible).

This survey provides quarterly statistics on the number of agricultural workers, hours worked, and wage rates. NASS will continue to collect and publish data for the 4 quarterly periods (Jan., Apr., July, and Oct.). However, NASS will collect two quarters of data at a time. In April, NASS will collect data for the January and April time periods. In October, NASS will collect data for both the July and October time periods. This is in response to budget cuts.

Miscellaneous Actions
The overall reduction in burden hours is due to several factors. The primary reduction in the number of responses and total respondent burden is due to one major program change; the collection of data biannually instead of quarterly. The other program change that is taking place is the discontinuation of the Agricultural Services survey. The remainder of the reductions are due to an adjustment in the overall sample size down by about 350 operators per year.
