Abstract: This is a renewal of a long-standing survey program for fruit commodities and mushrooms. The new annual burden of 28,114 hours is down 3,496 hours from the previous inventory of 31,610 hours. Adjustments come from changes in the size of the target population, sample design, and minor changes in questionnaire design. Agency Discretion changes result from five surveys no longer being funded from cooperators.
