Online ARS Request and Registration Forms
The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) will use electronic web forms to let individuals request research data, models, materials, and publications and to register for scientific studies and events. The collection is identified as OMB Control Number 0518-0032 and is intended to make information and services more accessible to the public.
Estimated Public Response Burden
The notice states the information collection covers 14,400 respondents with a total estimated burden of 720 hours, with responses collected on occasion. These numbers describe the expected time burden on individuals or households who use the forms.
OMB Control Number and Voluntary Response
The notice says an agency may not collect information unless the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number and that persons are not required to respond unless that number is displayed. This protects potential respondents interacting with ARS web forms.
