Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The program changes and adjustments in burden result from two updates to the Information Collection. First, NASS added the voluntary RMA Organic Price Survey to the Organic Production and Price Surveys ICR. This addition increases total respondent burden by 15,077 hours and total responses by 92,610. Second, cognitive testing activities were removed from the mandatory Organic Survey Census follow‑on Information Collection and placed into a separate voluntary collection, reducing that component’s burden by 50 hours. The net change in burden reflects the combined effect of adding the new voluntary survey and removing cognitive testing from the Census follow‑on survey.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $2,500,000
