The new annual burden of 30,603
hours is up 5,533 hours from the previous inventory of 26,070
hours. The net increase is a result of program changes and
adjustments. The program changes involve the discontinuation of
four surveys that were previously conducted under cooperative
agreements with the California State Department of Agriculture that
will not be included in this renewal. - Prune Crop Handlers Report
- Grape Crush and Purchase Inquiry - Raisin Crop Handler’s Report -
Walnut Crop Handlers Report The adjustments come from minor changes
to the target populations, with the exception of the increase in
burden hours. The increase in burden hours is to accommodate a
request from the California Department of Agriculture. The Grape,
Almond and Walnut Acreage Survey, and Citrus Acreage Survey, which
are conducted under cooperative agreements with NASS, will also
include the respondents confirming parcel sheets that contain data
the respondents reported in previous surveys. The burden for
completing the questionnaire will remain the same as previously
reported (10 and 20 minutes respectively). However, the burden
minutes reflected in the table in item 12 above says 40 minutes.
The extra minutes will be for the respondents to approve previously
reported data contained on the parcel sheets.
