Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0082. 

Expiration Date: January 31, 2011. 

Type of Request: Extension and 

Revision of a Currently Approved 

Information Collection. 

Abstract: This information collection 

is to allow FSA to effectively administer 

the regulations under the ECP. The 

regulations at 7 CFR part 701 set forth 

basic policies, program provisions, and 

eligibility requirements for owners and 

operators to enter into agreement with, 

to apply for financial and technical 

assistance and for receiving cost-share 

payments under the ECP. The revision 

to the currently approved information 

collection is in response to the need to 

continue to service ECP customers and 

more efficiently collect information on 

cost-share requests, agreements, and 

performance by modernizing the ECP 

forms and software processes. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average .3 hours (19 

minutes) per response. The average 

travel time, which is included in the 

total annual burden, is estimated to be 

1 hour per respondent. 

Respondents: Owners, operators and 

other eligible agricultural producers on 

eligible farmland. 

Number of Respondents: 40,000. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 40,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 51,263. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection, 

and to help us to: 

(1) Evaluate 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; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’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 through the 

use of 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.
