Abstract: Provides production and economic statistics for nursery products and measures chemical products used by the floriculture and nursery industries. Data is also collected on how the chemicals are applied to be used in worker safety studies. In addition we collect data related to pest management to determine if growers are using alternative measures to stop pests that are more environmentally safe.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are two primary program changes that have resulted in an overall increase in total burden hours. In the previous approval NASS did not conduct the Nursery and Christmas Tree Production Survey, since this production data could be obtained for that reference year from the Census of Horticulture Survey. This production data is used in the expansion of the Chemical Use data to obtain US levels. The other program change is a modest increase in sample size for the chemical use survey.
