SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: In-Person and Online Registration for FSA-hosted Events and
Conferences.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0226.
Expiration Date of Approval: December 31, 2025.
Type of Request: Revision and Extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The collection of information is needed for FSA to obtain
information from the respondents who register on the internet to access
participation in events, and when necessary, to make payment and
reservations to attend any FSA-hosted conferences and events. They can
register on FSA's Online Registration site on the internet. Respondents
who do not have access to the internet can register by mail or fax. The
information is collected by the FSA employees who host the conferences
and events. FSA is collecting common elements from interested
respondents such as name, organization, address, country, phone number,
email address, State, city or town, payment options (credit card,
check), special accommodations requests and how the respondent learned
of the conference. The information collection element may also include
veteran status and new farmer status. The respondents are mainly
individuals who will attend the FSA-hosted conferences or events. The
information is primarily used to assess attendance and assist FSA staff
in preparations to serve individuals registering to attend online or in
person events. If applicable, the information collection may be used to
collect payment from the respondents and make hotel reservations and
other special arrangements as necessary. Demographic information
obtained through registration is voluntary and is used to monitor FSA's
outreach and engagement of farmers and ranchers. This information is
not used to evaluate any FSA program application and choosing not to
provide this information will not affect the application process for
any individual applying to an FSA program.
The burden hours is 41,250 hours due to the revamped and improved
registration format. FSA intends to use web based registrations for
events, but will obtain manual registration at events for those without
access to internet or a smart device. The number of respondents and
responses remains at 550,000. 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 of responses.
Estimate of Annual Burden: Public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 0.075 hours per
response. (4.5 minutes).
Type of Respondents: Individuals, Business or other for-profit,
non-for-profit institutions, Farms, Federal Government, State, Local,
or Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 550,000.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual of Responses: 550,000.
Estimated Average Time per Responses: 0.075 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 41,250 hours.
We are 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 FSA, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of 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;
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
All responses to this notice, including name and addresses when
provided,
[[Page 44159]]
will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will also become a matter of public record.

Administrator, Farm Service Agency.
