SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Area Risk Protection Insurance.
OMB Number: 0563-0083.
Expiration Date of Approval: October 31, 2023.
Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The information collection requirements for this renewal
package are necessary to administer the ARPI Basic Provisions and
affected Crop Provisions to determine insurance coverage, premiums,
subsidies, payments, and indemnities. ARPI is an insurance plan that
provides coverage based on the experience of an entire county.
Producers are required to report specific data when they apply for ARPI
such as acreage and yields. Insurance companies accept applications;
issue policies; establish and provide insurance coverage; compute
liability, premium, subsidies, and losses; indemnify producers; and
report specific data to FCIC as required in Appendix III/M13 Handbook.
Commodities for which ARPI is available are included in this
information collection package.
FCIC is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to
renew and extend the approval of this information collection for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public
concerning this information collection. 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 (such as through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses).
Estimate of Burden: The public reporting burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 0.62 of an hour per response.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Producers and insurance providers
reinsured by FCIC.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 15,509.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 5.9.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 91,679.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 56,711.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
public record.

Manager, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
