Farm Service Agency

    Title: Representations for CCC and FSA Loans and Authorization to 
File a Financing Statement and Related Documents Under the Revised 
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0215.
    Summary of Collection: Commodity Credit Corporation and the Farm 
Service Agency (FSA) programs require loans be secured with collateral. 
The security interest is created and attaches to the collateral when: 
(1) Value has been given, (2) the debtor has rights in the collateral 
or the power to transfer rights in the collateral, and (3) the debtor 
has authenticated a security agreement that provides a description of 
the collateral. In order to perfect the security interest in 
collateral, a financing statement must be filed according to a State's 
Uniform Commercial Code. The revised Article 9 of the Uniform 
Commercial Code deals with secured transaction for personal property. 
The revised Article 9 affects the way the CCC and FSA, as well as any 
other creditor, perfect and liquidate security interests in collateral.

    Need and Use of the Information: FSA will collect information using 
form CCC-10, Representations for Commodity Credit Corporation or Farm 
Service Agency Loans and Authorization to File a Financing Statement 
and Related Documents. The information obtained on CCC-10 is needed to 
not only obtain authorization from loan applicants to file a financing 
statement without their signature, but also to verify the exact legal 
name and location of the debtor. If this information is not collected, 
CCC and FSA will not be able to disburse loans because a security 
interest would not be perfected.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Individuals or households; 
Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 3,734.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting; On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 299.
