ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this notice to pheny.weidman@usda.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pheny Weidman at the address in the preamble. Tel. 2026945013.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for Survey Research Studies.
OMB Number: 05360073.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2022.
Type of Request: Intent To Seek Approval To Extend an Information Collection for 3 Years.
Abstract: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Pub.
L. 10413 and OMB regulations at 5
CFR part 1320 60 FR 44978, August 29, 1995, this notice announces the ERS
intention to request renewal of approval from the Office of Management and Budget OMB for a generic clearance that will allow ERS to rigorously develop, test, and evaluate its survey methodologies, instruments, and administration. The mission of ERS is to provide economic and other social science information and analysis for public and private decisions on agriculture, food, natural resources, and rural America. This request is part of an on-going initiative to improve ERS data product quality, as recommended by both its own guidelines and those of OMB.
The purpose of this generic clearance is to allow ERS to evaluate, adopt, and use state-of-the-art and multidisciplinary research to improve and enhance the quality of its current data collections. This clearance will also be used to aid in the development of new surveys. It will help to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden time and financial resources is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed.
ERS envisions using a variety of survey improvement techniques, as appropriate to the individual project DATES:

PO 00000

Frm 00001

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

under investigation. These include focus groups, market analysis, cognitive and usability laboratory and field techniques, exploratory interviews, behavior coding, and respondent debriefing.
Following standard OMB
requirements, ERS will inform OMB
individually in writing of the purpose, scope, time frame, and number of burden hours used for each survey improvement or development project it undertakes under this generic clearance.
ERS will also provide OMB with a copy of the data collection instrument if applicable, and all other materials describing the project.
Authority: These data will be collected under the authority of 7 U.S.C.
2204a.
ERS intends to protect respondent information under the Privacy Act of 1974, Section 1770 of the Food Security Act of 1985, and 7 U.S.C. 2276. ERS has decided not to invoke the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 CIPSEA. The complexity and cost necessary to invoke CIPSEA is not justified given the nature of the collection; the collections would generally be conducted by ERS
contractors and designed to be hosted in non-government owned computer systems, where CIPSEA compliance could not be assured.
Specific details regarding information handling will be specified in individual submissions under this generic clearance.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for these collections of information is estimated to average from .5 to 1.5 hours per respondent, depending upon the information collection and the technique used to test for that particular collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households, farms, and businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 3,630.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,820 hours. Public reporting burden for these collections of information is estimated to average from .5 to 1.5 hours per respondent, dependent upon the survey and the technique used to test for that particular survey.
Copies of this information collection can be obtained from Pheny Weidman at the address in the preamble.
