Dear Dr. Fixler and Ms. Burrell,
Thank you for the letter of support and sharing the specific uses that BEA has of the data.
At this time, NASS has no plans of changing any of the surveys in the Agricultural Surveys
Program Information Collection Request or frequency of the surveys. Only minor changes
will be made to the number of responses and respondent burden due to changes in the
target population.
We will keep you informed of any future modifications through Federal Register Notices.
Sincerely,

JOSEPH
PARSONS
