[Name, address and partners verified and updated if necessary.]
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”.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0535-0218. The time required to
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.
