This is a reinstatement of a previously retired docket. Once every five years this survey is conducted as a follow-on survey to the Census of Agriculture as a mandatory survey. In the years that follow the mandatory survey, if supplemental funding is provided by other data users, the survey will be conducted again as a voluntary survey, following an approval by OMB to a change request issued at that time.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
