January 2022

Non-substantive change request for the Hawaii Seed Crop Survey (0535-0002)

NASS entered into a cooperative agreement to conduct the Hawaii Seed Crop Survey on an annual basis. The survey was requested by and is funded by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture. The purpose of the project is to measure and publish estimates related to foundation seed, grow-out, and test plots Estimates will be tracked to determine the growth and trend of Hawaii’s largest dollar value agricultural commodity. Seed acreage, seed shipments, and total gross budget are collected from all seed crop farms (approximately 15). Much of the data are collected in other seed surveys included in OMB Control Number 0535-0002. One mailing is planned with phone followup. A report will be published by the NASS-Hawaii Field Office in May, 2022.

Adding this survey will add approximately four hours of burden. Total burden for the surveys in this ICR will increase from a total of 172,137 to 172,141 hours.
