Abstract: This is a request for a substantive change to the List Frame docket. NASS will be testing the June Area Research Project's (JARP) usefulness as an alternative or supplemental source of potential farm and ranch operators to add to our list of active farm operations. The JARP uses web-scraping to generate lists of potential farm operators. The NASS list frame is the basis for all future surveys conducted by NASS. No data will be summarized or published from this data collection. However, a scientific report may be published from our findings.
