The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) requests approval for non-substantive change to
NASS’s Confidentiality Pledge. In the summer of 2025, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) requested that NASS update its
confidentiality pledge. This change to NASS Confidentiality Pledge
would affect all surveys conducted under NASS’s 34 active
Information Collections (ICs). Current Language: “Your responses
will be kept confidential and any person who willfully discloses
ANY identifiable information about you or your operation is subject
to a jail term, a fine, or both.” Proposed Revision: “Your
responses will be kept confidential and any person who willfully
discloses ANY identifiable information about you and your
operations without your consent is subject to a jail term, a fine,
or both.”
