SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Turfgrass Economic Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0535-NEW.
    Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to conduct a new 
information collection for a period of three years.
    Abstract: The primary objective of the National Agricultural 
Statistics Service (NASS) is to collect, prepare and issue State and 
national estimates of crop and livestock production, prices, and 
disposition; as well as economic statistics, environmental statistics 
related to agriculture and also to conduct the Census of Agriculture.
    The Turfgrass Economic Survey program will collect economic 
information from a sample of homeowners, golf courses, sod producers, 
turfgrass service providers, and commercial businesses with turfgrass 
in New Jersey. The results of the data collection will track the 
turfgrass industry's contribution to the New Jersey economy. All 
questionnaires included in this information collection will be 
voluntary. This project is conducted as a cooperative effort with 
Rutgers University. Funding for this survey is being provided by 
Rutgers University.
    Authority: These data will be collected under authority of 7 U.S.C. 
2204(a). Individually identifiable data collected under this authority 
are governed by Section 1770 of the Food Security Act of 1985 as 
amended, 7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford strict 
confidentiality to non-aggregated data provided by respondents. This 
Notice is submitted in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-113, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and Office of 
Management and Budget regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
    NASS also complies with OMB Implementation Guidance, 
``Implementation Guidance for Title V of the E-Government Act, 
Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 
2002 (CIPSEA),'' Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June 15, 2007, p. 
33362.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this information 
collection is based on similar surveys with expected response time of 
45 minutes. The estimated sample size will be approximately 1,400. The 
frequency of data collection for the different surveys is annual. 
Estimated number of responses per respondent is 1. Publicity materials 
and instruction sheets will account for approximately 5 minutes of 
additional burden per respondent. Respondents who refuse to complete a 
survey will be allotted 2 minutes of burden per attempt to collect the 
data.
    Respondents: Homeowners, golf courses, sod producers, turfgrass 
service

providers, and commercial businesses with turfgrass in New Jersey.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,400.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,200 hours.
    Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the proposed collection of information including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate automated,
