this notice on the following website <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>.

Risk Management Agency
Title: Subpart U--Ineligibility for Programs under the Federal Crop
Insurance Act.
OMB Control Number: 0563-0085.
Summary of Collection: FCIC is a wholly owned Government
corporation created February 16, 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1501). The program was
amended previously, but Public Law 96-365, dated September 26, 1980,
provided for nationwide expansion of a comprehensive crop insurance
program. The Federal Crop Insurance Act (Act), as amended in later
years, further expanded the role of the crop insurance program to be
the principal tool for risk management by producers of agricultural
commodities. The Act further required that the crop insurance program
operate on an actuarially sound basis. To meet these goals, existing
crop programs must be improved and expanded, new crop products
developed, and new insurance concepts studied for possible
implementation. Meeting these goals requires the collection of a wide
range of information (data elements). These data elements are used in
part to determine insurance coverage, premiums, subsidies, payments,
and indemnities. It creates an information database used to support
continued development and improvements in crop insurance products
available to producers which meet the goal of a sound insurance
program. The Act was again amended on June 20, 2000, by Public Law 106-
224 which mandates changes to crop insurance regulations, provides for
independent review of crop insurance products by persons experienced as
actuaries and in underwriting, and gives contracting authority for the
development of new products.
Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of collecting the
information is to ensure persons that are ineligible for benefits under
the Federal crop insurance program are accurately identified as such
and do not obtain benefits to which they are not eligible. A person can
become ineligible for benefits for three reasons: (1) Debt on unpaid
premium or overpaid indemnity (information provided by AIP; (2) Debt on
unpaid CAT fee (information provided by AIP); and (3) Debarment/
disqualification/suspension, including but not limited to judgement,
civil fines, etc. The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and AIPs use
the information collected to determine whether a person seeking to
obtain Federal crop insurance coverage is ineligible for such coverage
according to the statutory/regulatory mandates identified. Failure to
collect the applicable information could result in unearned Federal
benefits being issued.
Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 13.
Frequency of Responses: On occasions; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,947.

Departmental Information Clearance Officer.
