Risk Management Agency

    Title: General Administrative Regulations; Subpart V-Submission of 
Policies, Provisions of Policies, and Rates of Premium.
    OMB Control Number: 0563-0064.
    Summary of Collections: The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation 
(FCIC) amends the procedures for the submission of policies, plans of 
insurance, or other rates or premium by insurance companies, entities

by persons experienced as actuaries and in underwriting.

applicant's submissions to determine, if the interests of agricultural 
producers and taxpayers are protected; the submission is actuarially 
appropriate; appropriate insurance principles are followed; the 
requirements of the Act are met; and that sound, reasonable and 
appropriate underwriting principals are followed. If the information is 
incomplete, the submission will be disapproved.
