    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are required regarding; whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,

    Comments regarding this information collection received by November

the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

Farm Service Agency

    Title: Customer Data Worksheet Request for Business Partner Record 
Change.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0265.
    Summary of Collection: Core Customer Data is required in order to 
identify USDA program participants who are individual persons and legal 
entities. The Core Customer Data is necessary to ensure that benefits 
are issued to the correct customer and valid Tax Identification 
Numbers. USDA requires this data to ensure that customers can be 
validated and also to provide a necessary basis for pursuing legal 
remedies in the event of error or fraud. There is no public law 
regarding the use or collection of Core Customer Data. The option to 
document and track Core Customer Data changes is necessary to ensure 
the integrity of the data and to provide the Farm Service Agency (FSA), 
Natural Resources and Conservation Service and Rural Development (RD, 
Risk Management Agency (RMA), and Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), 
a method of verifying the validity of the information, and provide a 
necessary basis for pursuing legal remedies when needed.
    Need and Use of the Information: Core Customer Data is necessary to 
input customer information for identity purposes and to provide a point 
of contact for the respective customer and a valid Tax Identification 
Number to direct program benefits to. The AD-2047 will be used to 
document Corel Customer Data changes and also to provide a method to 
identify who made applicable changes and when this was done. Failure to 
collect and timely maintain the data collected will result in 
erroneous/out dated point of contact information, which could result in 
program information and benefits being directed to incorrect 
recipients.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 109,774.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (when necessary).
    Total Burden Hours: 5,489.
