    Abstract: FCIC is proposing to renew the currently approved 
information collection, OMB Number 0563-0055. It is currently up for 
renewal and extension for three years. The information collection 
requirements for this renewal package are necessary for FCIC to respond 
to requests for interpretations of provisions of the Federal Crop 
Insurance Act, policy provisions codified in the Code of Federal 
Regulations, policy provisions not codified in the Code of Federal 
Regulations, and procedures used in the administration of the Federal 
crop insurance program. This data is used to administer the provisions 
of 7 CFR part 400, subpart X in accordance with the Federal Crop 
Insurance Act, as amended.
    We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to extend 
its approval of our use of this information collection activity for an 
additional 3 years.
    The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public 
concerning this information collection activity. 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 8 hours per response.
    Respondents/affected entities: Parties affected by the information 
collection requirements included in this Notice are any producer 
(including their legal counsel) with a valid crop insurance policy and 
approved insurance provider (agents, loss adjusters, employees, 
contractors, or legal counsel) with a legally binding agreement with 
FCIC.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 23.
    Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1.
    Estimated annual number of responses: 23.
    Estimated total annual burden hours on respondents: 184.
    Comments are invited on: (1) whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other collection technologies, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    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.
