USDA Reinstates Hemp Data Collection
USDA is seeking reinstatement of its information collection for the Domestic Hemp Production Program (OMB Control No. 0581-0318). The collection covers hemp producers, States and Tribal governments with approved plans, and laboratory personnel — it lists 21,781 respondents, reporting frequencies of on occasion, monthly, and annually, and total burden of 9,826 hours.
30-Day Public Comment Window
USDA invited public comments on the reinstatement and related paperwork burden; comments submitted by June 15, 2026 will be considered. This gives hemp producers, State and Tribal officials, and laboratory personnel a time-limited chance to suggest ways to reduce burden and improve clarity.
