Title: Customer Data Worksheet 

Request for Business Partner Record 

Change. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0265. 

Expiration Date: December 31, 2023. 

Type of Request: Revision. 

Abstract: The information collection 

is necessary to effectively monitor 

critical producer data (for example, 

customer name, current mailing address 

and tax identification number) made at 

the request of the producer to provide, 

correct or update their information. The 

form AD–2047, Customer Data 

Worksheet Request for Business Partner 

Record, is used to collect the 

information from the producer to input 

or make changes to the information. The 

critical producer data are also being 

used to update existing producer record 

data and document when and who 

initiates and changes the record. FSA, 

Natural Resource Conservation Service 

(NRCS) and other USDA Agencies use 

the Business Partner database to 

maintain and manage their respective 

customer data. The necessity to monitor 

critical producer data in the Business 

Partner database was a direct result of 

the OMB Circular A–123 Remediation/ 

Corrective Action Plan for County Office 

Operations which requires effective 

internal controls to be in place for 

Federal programs. FSA team was 

established and reviewed and 

documented key controls related to all 

material producer accounts. FSA also 

included the analysis on a review of 

record. The number of respondents 

increased by 51,476 to account for 

additional customers due to additional 

USDA agencies. The average time per 

response is 3 minutes for the form of 

AD–2047. The burden hours increased 

by 2,674 in the request due to the 

increase in customer records added 

since the last OMB approval. For the 

following estimated total annual burden 

on respondents, the formula used to 

calculate the total burden hours is the 

estimated average time per response 

multiplied by the estimated total annual 

responses. 

Estimated Respondent Burden: Public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 0.05 

hours per response. 

Type of Respondents: FSA, NRCS, 

AMS, and RD customers currently 

residing in the Business Partner 

database. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

161,250. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Number of 

Responses: 161,250. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 8,063 hours. 

FSA is 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 FSA, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA’s 

estimate of burden including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

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 when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.
