Abstract:
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is requesting a substantive change to the ARMS and Chemical Use Survey information collection request (OMB No. 0535-0218) for the 2022 ARMS Phase 2, and Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys. The change is needed to accommodate the addition of the 2022 ARMS Phase 2 and 2022 Vegetable Chemical Use questionnaires. There is an increase in burden due to the mailings that will be made to respondents.

Short Statement:
The removal of questions from the Production Practices Report (Potatoes) that were previously requested by the USDA Office of Pest Management Policy (OPMP) resulted in a decrease of 370 hours of burden with no change in number of responses. The removal of questions reduced the average time per respondent from 50 to 35 minutes. The addition of presurvey and initial survey mailing for the Vegetable Chemical Use and ARMS 2 wheat and potato versions resulted in an increase of 21,060 responses and 3,262 hours.
