NOTES

INTRODUCTION [Introduce yourself, and ask for the operator.] The National Agricultural Statistics Service is collecting information on land management and conservation practices. The information collected will be used by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to assess the environmental benefits associated with the implementation and installation of conservation practices. We need your help to make the information as accurate as possible. All conservation practices that are in place should be reported-whether they were installed as part of a Federal or State Cost–Share program, an industry or non-profit program, or by you (the operator) with no outside support. We encourage you to refer to your farm records during the interview. The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. In accordance with the Confidential Information Protection provisions of Title V, Subtitle A, Public Law 107–347 and other applicable Federal laws, your responses will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone other than employees or agents. By law, every employee and agent has taken an oath and is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both if he or she willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you or your operation. Response is voluntary.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB number is 0535-0245. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 60 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
