SUBJECT: OMB CONTROL NUMBER: 0536-0076

A non-substantive change request to add two additional laboratories for experimental economic study of Risk Preferences and Demand for Crop Insurance and Cover Crop Programs (RPDCICCP)


The ERS experimental economic study of Risk Preferences and Demand for Crop Insurance and Cover Crop Programs (RPDCICCP) was approved to conduct data collection from 2,000 student subjects (including 500 respondents and 1,500 non-respondents) at the University of Rhode Island. Due to project delays and new time constraints for our co-PI from the University of Rhode Island, ERS would like permission to use the experimental economics laboratories at Michigan State University (MSU) and Purdue University to complete this data collection.

The total number of subjects participating in this collection will remain at 2,000, and no additional respondent burden hours will be requested. No new project funding is required to support this change. Money from the existing award to the University of Rhode Island will be reallocated for new subawards to MSU and Purdue.

We plan to divide data collection between the three laboratories as follows:

This division of subjects across three universities will allow ERS to conclude data collection on an expedited schedule, and provide the opportunity to compare characteristics of student participants from all three universities.

Approval has been granted by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) of MSU and Purdue to conduct these experiments in their facilities. We include the additional consent forms (Attachments K and M), recruitment emails (Attachments L and N), and required payment form (Attachment O) as new addenda to the existing ICR clearance documents. These documents all contain the necessary disclaimer text and display the OMB Control number.



Attachments:

  • Attachment K – MSU Minimal Risk Consent Form

  • Attachment L – MSU Recruitment Message

  • Attachment M – Purdue Consent Form

  • Attachment N – Purdue Recruitment Message

  • Attachment O – Purdue Payment Form
