Short Statement: Since the previous approval only small adjustments have been made to the surveys included in this docket. The hops dealers and growers samples have been combined. In previous publications NASS has combined the summarized data from these two groups. Through a program review NASS decided to merge the samples together so that NASS commodity statisticians only had to run one edit and summary, since the final data would be merged before publication. The other changes to the sample sizes and respondent burden are adjustments due to changes in the populations.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,800,000
