The Department of Agriculture has submitted an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act. They are gathering public comments on whether this data collection is necessary, how accurate the burden estimates are, and how to improve the quality and ease of information collection. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is specifically looking to collect data related to their long-term contracting programs, which support conservation efforts by providing financial and technical assistance to landowners. Comments should be submitted by March 31, 2025, and should be submitted via the website www.reginfo.gov.
