SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: General Administrative Regulations; Subpart V--Submission of 
Policies, Provisions of Policies, Rates of Premium, and Non-Reinsured 
Supplemental Policies.
    OMB Number: 0563-0064.
    Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2024.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: The information collection requirements for this renewal 
package are necessary to administer subpart V which establishes 
guidelines for the submission of policies or other materials to the 
FCIC Board of Directors (Board) and identifies the required contents of 
a submission: the timing, review, and confidentiality requirements; 
reimbursement of research and development costs, maintenance costs, and 
user fees; and guidelines for non-reinsured supplemental policies. This 
data is used to administer the Federal crop insurance program in 
accordance with the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended.
    FCIC is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to 
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, 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 326 hours per response.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Parties affected by the information 
collection requirements included in this Notice is a person (including 
an approved insurance provider, a college or university, a cooperative 
or trade association, or any other person) who prepares a submission, 
proposes to the Board other crop insurance policies, provisions of 
policies, or rates of premium, or submits to the Risk Management Agency 
(RMA) a non-reinsured supplemental policy.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 138.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: .69.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 95.
    Estimated total annual burden hours on respondents: 30,921.
    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.
