The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is requesting a substantive change to the ARMS and
Chemical Use Survey information collection request (OMB No.
0535-0218) for the 2022 ARMS Phase 3 Surveys. The change is needed
to accommodate the addition of the 2022 ARMS Phase 3
questionnaires. NASS will create a combined questionnaire for the
ARMS 3 surveys that contains the questions from the Census of
Agriculture questionnaire with the unique questions asked by the
ARMS 3 questionnaires. Farm operators who were willing to complete
the longer ARMS 3 questionnaires did not need to complete the
Census of Agriculture survey. There is no change in burden from
what is previously approved.
