SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description of Information Collection Request
Title: Measurement Service Record.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0260.
Expiration Date: 07/31/2025.
Type of Request: Extension.
Abstract: When a producer requests a measurement of acreage or
production from FSA, the producer uses the form FSA-409 (Measurement
Service Record) to make the request, which requires a measurement
service fee to be paid to FSA. The form is manual. The form is prepared
by the FSA County Office personnel when producers come into the office
and request a measurement service to be performed. The information is
used to create a record of measurement service request and cost to the
producer. Information that the producer is required to provide on this
form is the farm serial number, program year, farm location, contact
person, type of service request (acreage or production).
The producer must pay the cost of the service prior to the service
being formed. The form serves as a record of the request, receipt of
payment for the producer and documents the results of the service
provided. The producer must sign the form to insure the accuracy of
what is being requested, the person accepting the funds signs
acknowledging receipt of funds and the person performing the service
signs the form after completion of the service. The measurement policy
and procedure are located in 7 CFR part 718.
There are no changes to the burden hours since the last OMB
submission.
For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated
average time per responses hours multiplied by the estimated total
annual responses.
Estimate of Annual Burden: Public reporting burden for the
collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per
response.
Respondents: Producers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 135,000.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual of Responses: 135,000.
Estimated Average Time per Response: 15 minutes (0.25).
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 33,750 hours.
We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information
collection to help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used;
(3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
technology; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who
respond 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 notice, including names
and addresses where provided, will be made a matter of public record.
Comments will be summarized and included in the request for OMB
approval of the information collection.
Kimberly Graham,
Acting Administrator, Farm Service Agency.
