Abstract: FCIC is proposing to renew the currently approved

renewal and extension for three years. The information collection
requirements for this renewal package are necessary for FCIC to provide

help us:

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information has practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated,
electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 8 hours per response.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Parties affected by the information
collection requirements included in this Notice are any producer
(including their legal counsel) with a valid crop insurance policy and
approved insurance provider (agents, loss adjusters, employees,
contractors or legal counsel) with agreement with FCIC.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 30.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of responses: 30.
Estimated total annual burden hours on respondents: 240.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection information; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other collection technologies, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
