location (which may include legal 

description, FSA farm number, FSA 

tract number, FSA field number, 

geospatial as-planted field boundaries, 

Resource Land Unit, etc.). 

FSA and RMA are continuing to 

implement the ACRSI initiative in 

phases. The first phase was initiated in 

the fall of 2011 in Dickenson, Marion, 

McPherson, and Saline Counties in 

Kansas, and only for the collection of 

information from producers regarding 

winter wheat. The second phase was 

implemented in the spring of 2015 in 30 

counties of Illinois and Iowa covering 9 

crops. The third phase was 

implemented in the fall of 2015 in all 

counties of 15 states covering 9 crops. 

The fourth phase was implemented in 

the spring of 2016 in all counties 

nationwide covering 13 crops and about 

90 percent of reported acreage. The fifth 

phase was implemented in the fall of 

2016 expanding nationwide coverage to 

16 crops and about 93 percent of 

reported acreage. The sixth phase was 

implemented in the fall of 2017 and 

spring of 2018 expanding nationwide 

coverage to 25 crops and about 94 

percent of reported acreage. To ensure 

statutory criteria are met for Federal 

crop insurance, FSA and Commodity 

Credit Corporation (CCC) programs, the 

collection of commodity and acreage 

information is necessary. This is not a 

request for a change, addition, or 

deletion to the currently approved 

information collections. 

However, the existing approved 

information collection will be updated, 

modified or eliminated, as applicable, to 

reflect the reduction in burden on the 

respondents when the solution is fully 

implemented.

Abstract: This information collection 

extension is necessary to continue 

allowing proper administration of 

livestock grazing programs on National 

Forest System (NFS) lands. Domestic 

livestock grazing occurs on 

approximately 94 million acres of NFS 

lands. Grazing on NFS lands is subject 

to authorization and administrative 

oversight by the Forest Service. The 

information collected by the Forest 

Service is the minimum required for 

issuance and administration of grazing 

permits, including fee collections, as 

authorized by the Federal Land Policy 

and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, 

as amended (43 U.S.C. 1700 et seq.) and 

United States Department of Agriculture 

regulations at 36 CFR 222, subparts A 

and C. Similar information is not 

available from any other source. Some 

of the forms have been updated for 

technical corrections; these edits do not 

change the intent, amount, or type of 

information collected from the public. 

Forest Service officials currently use 

the following forms to collect the 

information necessary to administer this 

program. 

FS–2200–0001; Refund, Credit, or 

Transfer Application collects the

livestock, or both to another individual 

who desires to acquire a new grazing 

permit. The waiver enables the Forest 

Service to cancel the grazing permit 

held by the individual who sold or 

transferred the base property, permitted 

livestock, or both; and to identify the 

individual who acquired the base 

property, permitted livestock, or both as 

the preferred applicant for a new 

grazing permit. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 30 

minutes to complete the form. 

FS–2200–0013; Escrow Waiver of

to hold in escrow, on behalf of the
