SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: CFAP 2.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0297.
Type of Request: Extension.
Abstract: This information collection is required to support CFAP 2
information collection activities to provide payments to eligible
producers who, with respect to their agricultural commodities, have
been impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. The information
collection is necessary to evaluate the application and other required
paperwork for determining the producer's eligibility and assist in the
producer's payment calculations. Producers must submit a completed CFAP
2 application and additional documentation for eligibility, such as
certifications of compliance with adjusted gross income provisions and
conservation compliance activities; those additional documents and
forms must be submitted no later than 60 days from the date a producer
signs the application. There are no changes to the burden hours since
the last OMB submission, and FSA is requesting for 3-year approval for
the collection.
For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated
average time per response multiplied by the estimated total annual
responses.
Estimate of Average Time to Respond: Public reporting burden for
this information collection is estimated to average 0.694 hours per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed and
completing and reviewing the collections of information.
Type of Respondents: Producers or farmers.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 957,127.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.41.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 1,350,282.
Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.694 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 937,640 hours.
FSA is requesting comments on all aspects of this information
collection to help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the FSA, including whether
the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA's estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(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, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All comments received in response to this document, including names
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record.
Comments will be summarized and included in the submission for Office
of Management and Budget approval.
