Need and Use of the Information: The 

information collection methods used 

will be: 

1. Mail and Electronic Monitoring 

Survey: Respondents will be given the 

option of completing an online version 

of the monitoring instrument; those 

choosing not to respond online will be 

given the option of completing a paper 

version. 

2. Non-Response Checks: Data will be 

analyzed for non-response bias and a 

small subset of respondents will be 

sampled via phone and asked a small 

number of monitoring questions (<5 

minutes each). 

This is an extension renewal without 

revisions of an information collection 

that will be conducted by the University 

of Montana’s Bureau of Business and 

Economic Research (BBER) in 

conjunction with UM’s College of 

Forestry and Conservation. The purpose 

is twofold: (1) To meet our obligations 

under the CFLRP to monitor social 

impacts, and (2) to provide feedback to 

Forest Service managers about the 

activities, including the decision 

making processes, conducted under the 

CFLRP. Through an adaptive 

management process recommended by 

the authors of the FLRA, this 

information can be used to improve 

processes and actions on future 

restoration projects. The results will be 

analyzed and published in a final report 

available for use by federal and state 

policy makers and by the general public.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

January 22, 2021. 

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 

requested 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, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by February 26, 2021 

will be considered. Written comments 

and recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the

Risk Management Agency 

Title: General Administrative 

Regulations; Subpart V—Submission of 

Policies, Provisions of Policies, Rates of 

Premium, and Non-Reinsured 

Supplemental Policies. 

OMB Control Number: 0563–0064. 

Summary of Collections: The Federal 

Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) 

amends the procedures for the 

submission of policies, plans of 

insurance, or other rates or premium by 

insurance companies, entities or other 

persons. Public Law 96–365 provided 

for nationwide expansion of a 

comprehensive crop insurance program. 

The Federal Crop Insurance Act, as 

amended, expanded the role of the crop 

insurance to be the principal tool for 

risk management by producers of farm 

products and required that the crop 

insurance program operate on an 

actuarially sound basis. It provides for 

independent reviews of insurance 

products by persons experienced as 

actuaries and in underwriting. The Act 

was further amended in 2008 to provide 

the opportunity for the submission of a 

concept proposal to the FCIC Board of 

Directors (Board) for approval for 

advance payment of estimated research 

and development expenses. 

Need and Use of the Information: An 

applicant has the option to submit a 

concept proposal or a submission 

package for a crop insurance product 

and have it presented to the Board. The 

Board will review an applicant’s 

submissions to determine, if the 

interests of agricultural producers and 

taxpayers are protected; the submission 

is actuarially appropriate; appropriate 

insurance principles are followed; the 

requirements of the Act are met; and 

that sound, reasonable and appropriate 

underwriting principals are followed. If 

the information is incomplete, the 

submission will be disapproved. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other-for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 190.

Recordkeeping: Reporting; Other.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to revise the 

Annual Survey of State Tax Collections 

(F–5). This survey is collected as part of 

the larger State and Local Government 

Finance Collections, and Public 

Employment and Payroll Collections. 

We plan to add the collection of 

cannabis sales and license taxes, and 

sports betting sales taxes to the Annual 

Survey of State Tax Collections. Sports 

betting will include pari-mutuels, which 

were previously shown separately. This 

will modernize the survey’s content to 

maintain the relevancy and 

sustainability of these data. 

Additionally, cognitive testing showed 

the addition and removal of questions 

did not impact overall response time. 

The data are released as part of the 

State and Local Government Finance 

and Public Employment & Payroll 

statistical series. The collections also 

produce individual data products that 

focus on state governments, local 

governments, and public pensions in 

greater detail than the combined 

financial and employment series as a 

by-product of their collections for the 

combined data series. The Census 

Bureau provides these data to the 

Bureau of Economic Analysis to develop 

the public sector components of the 

National Income and Product Accounts 

and for constructing the functional 

payrolls in the public sector of the Gross 

Domestic Product, payroll being the 

single largest component of current 

operations. The Census Bureau also 

provides these data to the Federal 

Reserve Board for use in the Flow of 

Funds Accounts. Other Federal agencies
