Natural Resources and Conservation Service

    Title: Advancing Markets for Producers (formerly Partnerships for 
Climate-Smart Commodities).
    OMB Control Number: 0578-0031.
    Summary of Collection: Natural Resources and Conservation Service 
(NRCS) is requesting a reinstatement with change of previously approved 
collection for Advancing Markets for Producers. USDA has directed the 
Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) mission area and NRCS to 
implement the Advancing Markets for Producers initiative. The 
initiative prioritizes producer support to develop sustained methods 
for expansion of markets for American agricultural products. The 
initiative focuses on market and value chain development by creating 
new markets, improving supply chains, and enabling direct-to consumer 
sales. Finally, the initiative strengthens community and cooperative 
development by supporting co-ops, alliances and shared infrastructure. 
Together these activities are expected to build long-term economic 
sustainability for producers and their communities. The Advancing 
Markets for Producers initiative (formerly known as Partnerships for 
Climate-Smart Commodities) is using the funds and authorities of the 
Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) (15 U.S.C. 714-714f).
    Need and Use of the Information: NRCS uses the information to 
determine whether recipients meet the eligibility requirements to be a 
recipient of grant funds and to report on the progress related to the 
funding opportunity requirements. Lack of adequate information to make 
the determination could result in the improper administration and 
appropriation of Federal grant funds.
    Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for profits; 
Academic institutions; Not-for-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 125.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Semi-annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,250.
