DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
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 requested 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
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
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.
Comments regarding this information collection received by January
21, 2025 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/</a>PRAMain. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Risk Management Agency
Title: Acreage/Crop Reporting Streamlining Initiative.
OMB Control Number: 0563-0084.
Summary of Collection: Section 508(f)(3) of the Federal Crop
Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1515); 7 U.S.C. 7333(b)(3); 7 CFR 457.8 and 7
CFR 1437.7(d) mandates the collection of acreage and production
information from producers who wish to participate in certain USDA
programs. The Farm Service Agency (FSA) and the Risk Management Agency
(RMA) are implementing the Acreage/Crop Reporting Streamlining
Initiative (ACRSI), a web-based single source reporting system to
establish a single reporting and data collection.
Need and use of the Information: This initiative is being conducted
in phases by geographical area and additional commodities. Counties are
selected based on their commonality of historical crop reporting, high
percentage of producers participating in both RMA and FSA programs and
the high level of interest of the private agricultural service industry
(precision-ag and farm management) in the pilot phases. It will
reengineer the procedures, processes, and standards to simplify
commodity, acreage and production reporting by producers, eliminate or
minimize
[[Page 104074]]
duplication of information collection by multiple agencies and reduce
the burden on producers, insurance agents and AIPs. Information being
collected will consist of, but not be limited to: Producer name,
location state, commodity name, commodity type or variety, location
county, date planted, land location (legal description, FSA farm
number, FSA track number, FSA field number), intended use, prevented
planting acres, acres planted but failed, planted acres, and production
of commodity produced. Failure to collect the applicable information
could result in unearned Federal benefits being issued or producers
being denied eligibility to program benefits.
Description of Respondents: Individuals and households.
Number of Respondents: 500,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: One time.
Total Burden Hours: 187,500.
