SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Representations for Commodity Credit Corporation or Farm
Service Agency Loans and Authorization to File a Financing Statement
and Related Documents.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0215.
Expiration Date of Approval: August 31, 2024.
Type of Request: Extension with a revision.
Abstract: The CCC and FSA are requesting comments from all
interested individuals and organizations on an extension with revision
of a currently approved information collection that supports CCC and
FSA loan programs. We are requesting a 3-year extension for the
collection.
Form CCC-10, ``Representations for Commodity Credit Corporation or
Farm Service Agency Loans and Authorization to File a Financing
Statement and Related Documents'' is necessary to:
(a) Gather or verify basic data, provided by a CCC or FSA loan
applicant, that is required on a financing statement filed by CCC or
FSA to perfect a security interest in collateral used to secure a loan;
and
(b) Obtain applicant permission to file a financing statement prior
to the execution of a security agreement.
The number of burden hours is being revised in this request. The
number of burden hours decreased from 385 hours to 298 hours due to
fewer producers who are new to FSA loan programs who had not previously
provided applicable data and less time spent by producers who review
the data on the form each time they apply for a FSA loan.
For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total burden hours is the estimated
average time per response multiplied by the estimated total annual of
responses.
Estimated Annual Burden: The public reporting burden for this
information collection is estimated to average 5 minutes per response
(0.08 hours).
Respondents: Individual producers and farming entities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,734.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Response: 3,734.
Estimated Average Time per response: 0.08 (average 5 minutes).
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 298.
We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information
collection to help us to:
(1) Evaluate 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) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Evaluate the quality, ability and clarity of the information
technology; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who
respond through the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information.
All responses to this notice, including names and addresses when
provided, will be summarized and included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
