persons are not required to respond to

National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS)
Title: Agricultural Resource
Management and Chemical Use
Surveys—Substantive Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0218.
Summary of Collection: General
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies
that ‘‘The Secretary of Agriculture shall
procure and preserve all information
concerning agriculture which he can
obtain . . . by the collection of statistics
. . .’’. The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to provide data users with
timely and reliable agricultural
production and economic statistics, as
well as environmental and specialty
agricultural related statistics. To
accomplish this objective, NASS relies
on the use of diverse surveys that show
changes within the farming industry
over time.
The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is requesting a
substantive change to the ARMS and
Chemical Use Survey information
collection request (OMB No. 0535–0218)
for the 2022 ARMS Phase 2, and
Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys. The
change is needed to accommodate the
addition of the 2022 ARMS Phase 2 and
2022 Vegetable Chemical Use
questionnaires and respondent booklets.
The target commodities for the 2022
cycle are: wheat, potatoes, and vegetable
chemical use. Previously the wheat data
were collected on three different
versions (Durum, other spring, and
winter), but this year the three varieties
are all included on the wheat version.
There is a decrease of 370 hours of
burden in this substantive change
request resulting in a new total of
106,015 hours. The decrease was due to
the removal of questions from the
Production Practices Report (Potatoes)
that were previously requested by the
USDA Office of Pest Management Policy
(OPMP). The removal of questions
reduced the average time per
respondent from 50 to 35 minutes.
Need and Use of the Information:
These changes will provide updated
chemical use data for wheat, potatoes,
and vegetables that are essential for

evaluating the economic and

Description of Respondents: Farms

Number of Respondents: 105,850.

as housing; health care; first responder
services and equipment; and water,
electric and communications
infrastructure.
The Community Facilities loan
program of RHS is authorized by
Section 306 of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C.
1926). The purpose of the Community
Facilities loan program is to make loans
to public entities, nonprofit
corporations, and Indian tribes for the
development of essential community
facilities for public use in rural areas.
The Business and Industry program is
authorized by Section 310 B 7 (U.S.C.
1932) (Pub. L. 92–419, August 30, 1972)
of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act to improve, develop,
or finance business, industry, and
employment and improve the economic
and environmental climate in rural
communities. The Business and
Industry programs eligible for debt

limited to Business and Industry direct
loans. Debt Settlement of Economic
Opportunity Cooperative Loans, Claims

settlement is used for convenience in
referring to compromise, adjustment,
cancellation, or charge off actions
individually or collectively. If a debt is
eligible for settlement, the debt
settlement authorities are extended to
the debtor. All debtors are entitled to
impartial treatment and uniform
consideration under this subpart. The
