Risk Management Agency

    Title: Florida Agricultural Workers Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0563-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Risk Management Agency (RMA) is 
authorized under section 522(d) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act to 
enter into partnership agreements with public and private organizations 
for the purpose of increasing the availability of loss mitigation, 
financial, and other risk management tools for producers of 
agricultural commodities. RMA intends to collect information for 
purposes of the development of risk management tools to analyze 
producer risks associated with the employment of seasonal labor in the 
three Florida selected specialty crops: citrus, tomatoes, and 
strawberries. Collection of information is necessary for a research 
project under a USDA/RMA--University of Florida (UF) partnership 
agreement.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collection will be 
conducted primarily through in-person surveys. USDA/RMA--UF will use 
the information to describe the demographic and employment 
characteristics of Florida's citrus, tomato and strawberry workers. 
Results of the survey will be used to develop the risk management 
tools. The tools will enable producers to determine the costs and 
benefits of utilizing different mixes of labor and capital, given 
changes in wages and the supply of workers.
    Description of Respondents: Farms.
    Number of Respondents: 1,808.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (one-time).
    Total Burden Hours: 2,107.
