Short Statement:
There are three primary program changes that are included in this renewal: - The Microbial Food Safety Practices – Packer Survey was discontinued. - The microbial questions have been dropped from the Fruit and Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys this time. - NASS has been contacted by several State Cooperators and has contracted NASS to collect data for their specialty surveys. These surveys are being totally funded by the cooperators. There are four primary agency adjustments that are included in this renewal: - Adjusted samples sizes of the ARMS surveys due in part to the changes in target commodities and in part due to the low response rates previously obtained. - Adjusted the sample sizes for the contractor expenses surveys. - Adjusted the sample sizes for the rotation of the Fruit and Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys. - Adjusted burden for additional publicity materials sent to expanded ARMS samples. - Finally, to correct an error that occurred in the previous submission for the number of contacts made to non-respondents.
