Short Statement: The data collection procedures, definitions of the target populations, sample designs, and survey methodologies are essentially unchanged from the currently approved docket with the exception of the collection of additional alfalfa hay price data in response to the “AGRICULTURE, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2018”. In 2019 that requirement was pared down to just needing NASS to publish the prices for 8 States (California, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin). The sample sizes for the remaining 42 states reverted back to similar samples prior to this Bill. In addition there was a minor adjustment in the calculation of respondent burden for the manufactured dairy mandatory surveys and an adjustment to the sample size of the voluntary, annual manufactured dairy surveys.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $2,400,000
