The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is requesting a substantive change to the ARMS and
Chemical Use Surveys for the 2022 ARMS Phase 1 (Screening Survey),
ARMS Phase 2, Chemical Use, and ARMS Phase 3 (Costs and Returns
Survey). The change is needed for two purposes: 1) Announce target
commodities for the 2022 cycle, and 2) To collect data from
additional historically underserved farm producer groups. The
target commodities for the 2022 cycle are: wheat (winter, Durum,
and other spring wheat), potatoes, and vegetable chemical use.
Collecting data from additional historically underserved farm
producer groups is in response to the Biden Administration’s top
priority of advancing equity for all Americans.

The change in respondents,
number of responses, and burden are primarily due to the change in
the Phase 3 sample size (Additional samples, multiple contacts, and
100 minutes per completed report) is to provide enough competed
reports for USDA and other researchers to understand and assess the
financial health and needs of historically underserved farm
producer groups.
