SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Interpretations of Statutory and Regulatory Provisions and
Written Interpretations of FCIC Procedures.
OMB Number: 0563-0055.
Expiration Date of Approval: August 31, 2022.
Type of Request: Extension with a revision.
Abstract: FCIC is proposing to renew the currently approved
information collection, OMB Number 0563-0055. It is currently up for
renewal and extension for three years. The information collection
requirements for this renewal package are necessary for FCIC to respond
to requests for interpretations of provisions of the Federal Crop
Insurance Act, policy provisions codified in the Code of Federal
Regulations, policy provisions not codified in the Code of Federal
Regulations, and procedures used in the administration of the Federal
crop insurance program. This data is used to administer the provisions
of 7 CFR part 400, subpart X in accordance with the Federal Crop
Insurance Act, as amended.
We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to extend
its approval of our use of this information collection activity for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public
concerning this information collection activity. These comments will
help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information has practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated,
electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 8 hours per response.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Parties affected by the information
collection requirements included in this Notice are any producer
(including their legal counsel) with a valid crop insurance policy and
approved insurance provider (agents, loss adjusters, employees,
contractors, or legal counsel) with agreement with FCIC.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 75.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of responses: 75.
Estimated total annual burden hours on respondents: 600.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection information; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other collection technologies, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
