    Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget
    
        DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
    clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
    the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
        Agency: Bureau of the Census.
        Title: 1992 Economic and Agriculture Censuses--1994 Farm and Ranch 
    Irrigation Survey.
        Form Number(s): 94-A62.
        Agency Approval Number: None.
        Type of Request: New collection.
        Burden: 14,400 hours.
        Number of Respondents: 20,000.
        Avg Hours Per Response: 43 minutes.
        Needs and Uses: The 1994 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey will 
    update data on irrigation inputs and investment in the agricultural 
    production sector. Inadequate surface water, overuse of ground water, 
    concerns about water quality, and increasing competition for available 
    water are currently recognized as problems of national concern. 
    Agricultural irrigation is the largest single use of available U.S. 
    water supplies. Farm and ranch irrigation surveys have provided the 
    only source of detailed, nationally consistent data on water-management 
    practices and water uses in American agriculture. The 1994 Farm and 
    Ranch Irrigation Survey will obtain data to describe the irrigation 
    activities of U.S. farm operations. The survey will collect critically 
    needed data on issues of national concern, such as water conservation 
    practices and the chemical application practices of irrigators. Federal 
    and state agencies, the irrigation industry, agricultural producers, 
    and universities will use the results of the survey in preparing a wide 
    variety of water-related programs, economic models, legislative 
    initiatives, market analyses, and feasibility studies.
        Affected Public: Farms.
        Frequency: Every 5 years.
        Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
        OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
        Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
    by calling or writing Edward Michals, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, 
    (202) 482-3271, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and 
    Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
        Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
    collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
    3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    
        Dated: May 11, 1994.

    Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
    Organization.
