Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The total response burden of 31,222 hours is a decrease of 5,991 hours from the current inventory of 37,213 hours. This reduction in respondent burden is due to several program changes. NASS has incorporated price questions onto several other questionnaires that are included in other dockets and was able to eliminate several stand alone price surveys from this docket (potatoes, tobacco, and sheep). NASS has also reduced the frequency of some surveys, also resulting in a reduction in respondent burden.
