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.
