Farm Service Agency
Title: County Committee Election.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0229.
Summary of Collection: This information collection is necessary to
effectively allow farmers and ranchers to nominate potential candidates
using the form FSA-669A for the FSA county committee election in
accordance with the requirements as authorized by the Soil Conservation
and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended. Specifically, FSA uses the
information provided by the nominee annually or, if needed, throughout
the year for special elections to create ballots for FSA county
committee elections. Elections for FSA county committees are held each
year; therefore, nominations for eligible nominees are requested each
year. Any individual who meets the qualifications mentioned in form
FSA-669A may be nominated by another person or by themselves. The form
FSA-669A is used to collect the information for nominations; it
requires the name and address of the nominee and the signatures of both
the nominee and the person nominating the individual to be a nominee
(only one signature is required for self-nominated individuals).
Nominee must be eligible to vote in the designated FSA county committee
election, eligible to hold the office of FSA county committee member,
and willing to serve, if elected. For more information about FSA county
committees, including elections, nominations, eligible voters,
eligibility, and other related information, see the regulations in 7
CFR part 7. In addition, the form also includes a voluntary request for
race, ethnicity, and gender information from the nominee. FSA is also
using the form FSA-669A-3, Nomination Form for Urban Agriculture FSA
Committee Election, to establish Urban Agriculture FSA County
Committees in some cities. Completion of the form is voluntary.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA will collect information on
race, ethnicity and gender of each nominee as provided through the
voluntary self-identification of each nominee agreeing to run for a
position. The information will be sent to FSA (Kansas City) for
preparation of the upcoming election. FSA will review the information
annually. If the information is not collected in any given year, FSA
would not be able to prepare the report as required by the regulations.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 10,500.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,625.
