    Title: Childhood Injury and Adult Occupational Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0535-0235.
    Summary of Collection: Primary function of the National 
Agricultural Statistics Services (NASS) is to prepare and issue state 
and national estimates of crop and livestock production under the 
authority of 7 U.S.C 2204(a). NASS has been asked by the National 
Institute of Occupational Safety Health (NIOSH) to conduct a childhood 
injury and adult occupational injury survey. Together the survey's are 
designed to: (1) Provide estimates of childhood nonfatal injury 
incidence rates, annual injury frequencies, and descriptive injury 
information for children under the age of 20 living on, working on, or 
visiting on farming operations in the U.S.; and (2) provide estimates 
of the annual occupational adult nonfatal injury incidence rates, 
annual occupational injury frequencies and descriptive injury 
information for farm operators and their employees 20 years of age or 
older.
    Need and Use of the Information: Data from these survey's will 
provide a source of consistent information that NIOSH can use to target 
funds appropriated by Congress for the prevention of childhood 
agricultural injuries and adult occupational injuries. No source of 
data on childhood injuries or adult occupational farm injuries exists 
that covers all aspects of the agricultural production sector.
    Description of Respondents: Farms.
    Number of Respondents: 25,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 7,667.
