Dear Ms. Karlin,

Thank you for the letter of support and sharing the specific uses of the data for the Organic Certifiers Survey. The survey has been funded and we will proceed with the next steps in this data collection effort. The docket will be submitted to OMB soon if you would like to review the documents.

Sincerely,

Adam Cline
