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 USDAâs 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.
