Risk Management Agency

    Title: Subpart U--Ineligibility for Programs under the Federal Crop 
Insurance Act.
    OMB Control Number: 0563-0085.
    Summary of Collection: The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation 
(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, as amended in later years further expanded this role of the crop 
insurance program to be the principal tool for risk management by 
producers of agricultural commodities.
    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 are 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: 14.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasions; Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 2,647.
