Your cooperation is needed in preparing the preliminary estimates of the 2012–2013 macadamia nut crop. Please complete this questionnaire, which asks questions on harvested production and purchases through November 15th, and give your best estimate of expected production and purchases for the remainder of the crop year. Information requested in this survey is used to prepare estimates of selected agricultural commodities. 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 in combination with similar reports from other producers. Response is voluntary, however, your cooperation is important in order to estimate the preliminary macadamia nut crop. 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 0535-0039. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 15 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.
