AGENCY: Consolidated Farm Service Agency.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 
notice announces the Consolidated Farm Service Agency's (CFSA) 
intention to request an extension for currently approved information 
collections in support of the payment eligibility determination 
requirements for the Price Support, Production Adjustment and 
Conservation Reserve Programs.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be received on or before January 
29, 1996 to be assured consideration.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR COMMENTS: Contact Greg Tonkinson, 
Agricultural Program Specialist, Compliance and Production Adjustment 
Division, CFSA, USDA, P.O. Box 2415, Washington, DC 20013, (202) 690-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Payment Limitation and Determination of Eligibility of 
Foreign Individuals or Entities to Receive Program Benefits.
    OMB Number: 0560-0096.
    Approval Date of Expiration: February 29, 1996.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: The collection of this information is necessary to 
determine the maximum eligibility of individuals or entities for 
program payments for various programs administered by CFSA including 
price support programs, and the conservation reserve programs. The 
regulations at 7 CFR Part 1497 provide for an ``actively engaged in 
farming'' status determination be made for individuals or entities, 
with respect to a particular farming operation, in order to determine 
their eligibility for payments under covered programs. These programs 
impact a potential participant universe of 2,000,000 respondents. Forms 
CCC-502A, CCC-502B, CCC-502C, CCC-502D, CCC-502EZ, CCC-501A, and CCC-
501B will continue to be used for making determinations under part 
1497, as will ASCS-561, ASCS-561A, and ASCS-561B, which are used for 
these purposes in connection with the CRP.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to be 52 minutes per response.
    Respondents: Persons who, as owner, landlord, tenant, or 
sharecropper, share in the risk of producing the crop, or who otherwise 
are participants in CFSA programs subject to payment limitations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 356,800
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 per year
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 307,985
    Send comments regarding the accuracy of the burden, and ways to 
minimize the burden, including possible uses of alternative information 
techniques or technology, or any other aspect of this collection or 
information to the individual listed above.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of 
public record.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on November 22, 1995.
Bruce R. Weber,
Acting Administrator, Consolidated Farm Service Agency.
