    Timeline: NASS will suspend this information collection as of December 19, 2011 due to budget constraints.

Individually identifiable data collected under this authority are governed by Section 1770 of the Food Security Act of 1985, 7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford strict confidentiality to non-aggregated data provided by respondents.
