This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Title: Agricultural Labor Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0109.
Expiration Date of Approval: February 28, 2022.
This notice announces NASS's intention to end the suspension of the Agricultural Labor Survey previously scheduled for October 2020, and the associated publication previously scheduled for November 2020. The suspension notice (OMB No. 0535-0109) was published in the Federal Register on September 30, 2020. That suspension notice was challenged in federal court; the court recently issued a preliminary injunction ordering NASS to reinstate the data collection previously scheduled for October 2020. ( printed page 79464) See United Farm Workers v. Perdue, No. 20-cv-01452-DAD-JLT (E.D. Cal. Oct. 28, 2020). Pursuant to the court's order, NASS issues this notice of reinstatement. The reinstated survey will be based on July and October reference weeks and completion of the survey and report is expected to require nine weeks following the Federal Register publication of this notice. If the court's order is modified or dissolved in the future, NASS will publish a subsequent notice informing the public of that development as well as NASS's intentions regarding this information collection.
