A new chemical use survey is
added, due to a cooperative agreement with the State of Minnesota.
The pandemic caused a change in surveys conducted in 2020 and 2021
as well as the modes of data collection. Several changes have been
made to the ARMS 2 Chemical Use and ARMS 3 Economic questionnaires
and the Fruit Chemical Use survey. Some adjustments to burden were
made due to the use of publicity materials.

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);
