    Abstract: FCIC is proposing to renew the currently approved 
information collection, OMB Number 0563-0064. It is currently up for 
renewal and extension for three years. Subpart V establishes guidelines 
for the submission of policies or other materials to the FCIC Board of 
Directors (Board) and identifies the required contents of a submission: 
the timing, review, and confidentiality requirements; reimbursement of 
research and development costs, maintenance costs, and user fees; and 
guidelines for non-reinsured supplemental policies. This data is used 
to administer the Federal crop insurance program in accordance with the 
Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended.
    FCIC is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to 
extend the approval of this information collection for an additional 3 
years.
    The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public 
concerning this information collection. These comments will help us:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
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 354 hours per response.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Parties affected by the information 
collection requirements included in this Notice is a person (including 
an approved insurance provider, a college or university, a cooperative 
or trade association, or any other person) who prepares a submission, 
proposes to the Board other crop insurance policies, provisions of 
policies, or rates of premium, or submits to RMA a non-reinsured 
supplemental policy.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 190.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: .66.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 126.
    Estimated total annual burden hours on respondents: 44,631.
    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.
