    Title: Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged and 
Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program (also known as the 2501 Program).
    OMB Control Number: 0503-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The H.R.2--Agriculture Improvement Act of 
2018 (hereafter known as the 2018 Farm Bill) requires the Office of 
Partnerships and Public Engagement to solicit stakeholder feedback for 
the Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and 
Ranchers (hereafter known as the 2501 Program). The Office of 
Partnerships and Public Engagement (OPPE) has established a partnership 
with the Southern Rural Development Council who will be conducting a 
survey with USDA's stakeholders including nonprofits, community-based 
and nongovernmental organizations, higher education institutions, and 
others.
    Need and Use of the Information: Participants and stakeholders of 
USDA's 2501 Program nationwide will assist OPPE in meeting its 
stakeholder community needs and to increase the impact of services 
provided, access to, and participation in USDA's programs and services. 
The information collected is on a single form, illustrating a short 
assessment of:

    3. Participants contact information.
    4. Evaluation on the effectiveness of program delivery.
    If this collection is not approved, the disapproval and the 2501 
program will be in noncompliance with the 2018 Farm Bill legislative 
requirements.

profit institutions; Community-based and non-governmental
