SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Request for Geospatial Products and Services.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0176.
    Expiration Date: December 31, 2021.
    Type of Request: Extension with a revision.
    Abstract: The information collection is needed to enable the 
Department of Agriculture to effectively administrate the Geospatial 
and Aerial Photography Programs. GEO has the responsibility for 
acquiring and conducting coordination of the FPAC's geospatial datasets 
and the aerial photography flying contracts and remote sensing 
programs. The geospatial data and digital aerial imagery secured by 
FPAC BC is public domain and reproductions are available at cost to any 
customer with a need. All receipts from the sale of geospatial products 
and services are retained by FPAC BC. The FPAC-ISD-441, Request for 
Geospatial Products and Services, is the form FPAC supplies to the 
customers for placing an order for aerial imagery products and 
services. The burden hours have increased because of the additional 
form FPAC-ISD-441D One Time Credit Card Payment Authorization form 
requesting credit card information.
    For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the 
formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated 
average time per responses hours multiplied by the estimated total 
annual responses.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for the information 
collection is estimated to average 16 minutes per response.
    Type of Respondents: Farmers, Ranchers and other customers who wish 
to purchase imagery products and services.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,477.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses. 2,477.
    Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.219.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours on Respondents: 542 hours.
    We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information 
collection to help us to:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of FPAC, including whether the 
information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of FPAC's estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;
    (3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
technology; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    All comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses where provided, will be made a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the request for OMB 
approval of the information collection.

Acting Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation.
