The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) requests approval for non-substantive change to NASSâs Confidentiality Pledge. In the summer of 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requested that NASS update its confidentiality pledge. This change to NASS Confidentiality Pledge would affect all surveys conducted under NASSâs 34 active Information Collections (ICs).

The increase in the number of responses and respondent burden is due primarily to a program change. In the previous approvals, NASS used a response rate of 70% for estimating respondent burden. For this renewal, NASS increased the response rate used for estimating burden to 80% which is the standard factor used for estimating burden in most NASS ICRs.
There is a minor increase to the sample size and respondent burden for the manufactured dairy mandatory surveys.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that 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).
