Correction

    In the Federal Register of February 16, 2023, in FR Doc. 2023-
03290, on page 10078, correct the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION caption, 
paragraph 1, under the Abstract section, to read:
    Abstract: The 2023 Irrigation and Water Management Survey is 
conducted every 5 years as authorized by the Census of Agriculture Act 
of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-113). The 2023 Irrigation and Water Management 
Survey will use a combined probability sample of all farms and 
horticultural operations that reported irrigation and/or irrigation 
equipment on the 2022 Census of Agriculture. This irrigation survey 
aims to provide a comprehensive inventory of farm irrigation practices 
with detailed data relating to acres irrigated by category of land use, 
quantity of water applied, and method of application to selected crops. 
The 2023 survey will also collect expenditures for maintenance and 
repair of irrigation equipment and facilities; purchase of energy for 
on-farm pumping of irrigation water; investment in irrigation 
equipment, facilities, and land improvement; cost of water received 
from off-farm water supplies; and questions related to water reuse. The 
irrigation questions for horticultural specialties will provide the 
area irrigated in the open and under protection, source of water, and 
the irrigation method used at the State level and by 20 Water Resource 
Regions (WRR). The survey will publish tables showing the total 
estimated quantity of water applied, including one for crops. 
Irrigation data items are used by farmers, farming representatives, 
government agencies, and many other groups concerned with the 
irrigation industry and water use. This survey will provide the only 
source of dependable, comparable irrigation data by State and Water 
Resources Region (WRR). The National Agricultural Statistics Service 
will use the information collected only for statistical purposes and 
will publish the data only as aggregate totals.
