Farm Service Agency

Title: Assignments of Payments and Joint Payment Authorizations;
Request for Waiver.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0183.
Summary of Collection: The Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment
Act (16 U.S.C. 590h(g)) authorizes producers to assign, in writing,
Farm Service Agency (FSA) conservation program payments. The statute
requires that any such assignment be signed and witnessed. The
Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, extends that authority to
Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) programs, including rice, feed
grains, cotton, and wheat. When the recipient of an FSA, NRCS, or CCC
payment chooses to assign a payment to another party or have the
payment made jointly with another party, the other party must be
identified. All federal nontax payments must be made by EFT, unless a
waiver applies which requires certain criteria to be granted. FSA will
collect information using forms CCC-36, CCC 37, CCC-251, CCC-252 and
FPAC-FM-12.
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected on the
forms will be used by FSA and NRCS employees in order to record the
payment or contract being assigned, the amount of the assignment, the
date of the assignment, and the name and address of the assignee and
the assignor. This is to enable FSA employee to pay the proper party
when payments become due. FSA will also use the information to issue
program payments jointly at the request of the producer and also
terminate joint payments at the request of both the producer and joint
payee.
Description of Respondent: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 202,612.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting; On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 72,962.
