Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are required regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the

the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,

Farm Service Agency
Title: Volunteer Programs.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0232.
Summary of Collection: Section 1526 of the Food and Agriculture Act
of 1981 (7 U.S.C. 2272) permits the Secretary of Agriculture to
establish a program to use volunteers to perform a wide range of
activities to carry out the programs of or supported by the Department
of Agriculture (USDA). Each USDA agency is granted the authority to
establish programs designed to provide educationally related work
assignments for students in non-pay status. USDA, Departmental
Regulation 4230-1 requires documentation of service performed without
compensation by persons who do not receive Federal appointment. For
this requirement, the information collection request is necessary to
continue implementation of the programs, which allows the Farm Service
Agency (FSA) and Risk Management Agency (RMA) to use volunteers to
perform a wide range of activities to carry out the programs of or
supported by the Agency.
Need and Use of the Information: Applicants who are accepted in the
program will complete the ``Service Agreement and Attendance Record.''
FSA and RMA will use the reported information to respond to request for
information on volunteers from the USDA Office of Human Resources
Management. FSA Human Resource is responsible for determining how to
document volunteer appointments. If the information were not collected
for each volunteer, FSA and RMA would be unable to document service
performed without compensation by persons in the program if this
information were not collected for each volunteer.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 20.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 20.
Rachelle Ragland-Greene,
Acting Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
