Short Statement: These changes will impact primarily only the growers of onions and sweet potatoes. We have added 5 minutes to the burden time on the Vegetable Grower Inquiry questionnaire so it is now 25 minutes to complete. However, our Sampling Section has adjusted the sample size to 11,000 for 2020. The overall number of responses will be less than the original approval by 3,400 operations. This will result in a decrease in burden by 281 hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,500,000
