In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and its implementing regulation, 5 CFR 1320, the "Public Response Form for USDA National Conservation Program Update" is disapproved. The practical utility of the data collection as proposed has not been clearly demonstrated. The questions do not provide a useful basis for the program evaluation as called for in P.L. 95-192. Yet, even if the questions did support this or related uses, the proposed sampling process would result in highly suspect results. The proposal by SCS has insufficient controls to assure the validity of the sample. The 40% response rate with inadequate follow-up is unacceptable and may even be over-estimated due to the timing of the survey in conjunction with planting season and the collection of Agricultural Census.
