The chemical use data collection
activities in this clearance request would be conducted through
cooperative agreements with State Departments of Agriculture,
land-grant universities, or other organizations with which NASS has
a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Previously, these collections
were included in the Agricultural Resource Management and Chemical
Use Surveys Information Collection Request (OMB Control Number
0535-0218). These cooperator funded chemical use surveys are being
separated out to allow flexibility for survey changes and possible
new surveys without affecting the surveys funded through USDA’s
Congressional appropriation. The surveys in the Information
Collection Request allow flexibility for the cooperators to best
address current trends in the farming industry within States. The
Field Crop Production Practice and Chemical Use Surveys in this
request will be conducted on an established schedule depending on
funding from the cooperators.
