Non-Substantive Change Request OMB Control Number: 0535-0000 – All Information Collections Subject: Confidentiality Pledge Update The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) requests approval for non-substantive change to NASS’s 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 NASS’s 34 active Information Collections (ICs), listed in Table 1 below. Included below is the abbreviated supporting statement that describes the needed changes to the Confidentiality Pledge. The revised Confidentiality Pledge was approved by NASS, USDA’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) and Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO).
