SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description of Information Collection 

Title: Noninsured Crop Disaster 

Assistance Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0175. 

Expiration Date: January 31, 2014. 

Type of Request: Extension with a 

revision 

Abstract: NAP is authorized under 7 

U.S.C. 7333 and implemented under 

regulations issued at 7 CFR Part 1437. 

NAP is administered under the general 

supervision of the Executive VicePresident of CCC (who also serves as 

Administrator, FSA), and is carried out 

by FSA State and County committees. 

The information collected allows CCC to 

provide assistance under NAP for losses 

of commercial crops or other 

agricultural commodities (except 

livestock) for which catastrophic risk 

protection under 7 U.S.C 1508(b) is not 

available, and that are produced for food 

or fiber. 

Additionally, NAP provides 

assistance for losses of floriculture, 

ornamental nursery, Christmas tree 

crops, turfgrass sod, seed crops, 

aquaculture (including ornamental fish), 

sea oats and sea grass, and industrial 

crops. The information collected is 

necessary to determine whether a 

producer and crop or commodity meet 

applicable conditions for assistance and 

to determine compliance with existing 

rules. Eligible producers must annually: 

(1) Request NAP coverage by completing 

an application for coverage and paying 

a service fee by the CCC-established 

application closing date; (2) file a report 

of acreage, inventory, or physical 

location of the operation, as applicable 

for the covered crop or commodity; and 

(3) certify harvested production of each 

covered crop or commodity. When 

damage to a covered crop or commodity 

occurs, producers must file a notice of 

loss with the local FSA administrative 

county office within 15 calendar days of 

occurrence or 15 calendar days of the 

date damage to the crop or commodity 

becomes apparent. Producers must also 

file an application for payment by the 

CCC established deadline, and complete 

a certification of average adjusted gross 

income and consent for disclosure of tax 

information with the local FSA County 

office. 

Web modernization projects delivered 

in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 enabled 

NAP applications on the web. The NAP 

applications were enhanced to retrieve 

data from acreage reporting software to 

reduce manual data entry errors, and 

prohibit a payment from being issued 

without an acreage report on file. The 

NAP applications provide a timelier, 

more accurate, and more reliable 

delivery of benefits to producers. The 

Notice of Loss form was revised for 

more efficient data entry in the Webenabled environment. Producers are no 

longer required to provide certain 

additional information with the form 

and are no longer required to file 

multiple Notices of Loss when multiple 

crops are affected by the same disaster 

event. Therefore, FSA expects a 

reduction in the annual total burden 

hours for collection of the information. 

Estimated Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this information collection is 

estimated to average 1.33 hours per 

response. The average travel time, 

which is included in the total annual 

burden, is estimated to be 1 hour per 

respondent. 

Type of Respondents: Producers of 

commercial crops or other agricultural 

commodities (except livestock). 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 291,500. 

Estimated Annual Number of Forms 

Filed per Respondent: 3. 

Estimated Total Number of 

Responses: 1,526,402. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 2,031,830. 

We are 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 through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

name and addresses when provided,

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: 2013 Company Organization 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0444. 

Form Number(s): NC–99001, NC– 

99007. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 143,608. 

Number of Respondents: 47,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 3 hours 

and 3 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau 

requests an extension of the currently 

approved Company Organization 

Survey (COS) data collection for the 

2013 survey year. We request an 

extension of the current expiration date 

to December 2014 to complete the data 

collection for the 2013 COS. 

The Census Bureau conducts the 

annual COS to update and maintain a 

centralized, multipurpose Business 

Register (BR). In particular, the COS 

supplies critical information on the 

organizational structure, operating 

characteristics, and employment and 

payroll of multi-location enterprises. 

Form NC–99001 is mailed to multilocation enterprises. We ask questions 

on ownership or control by a domestic 

parent, ownership or control by a 

foreign parent, and ownership of foreign 

affiliates; research and development; 

company activities such as—employees 

from a professional employer 

organization, operating revenue and net 

sales, royalties and license fees for the 

use of intellectual property and 

manufacturing activities. Establishment 

inquiries include questions on 

operational status, mid-March 

employment, first-quarter payroll, and 

annual payroll of establishments. 

In 2011, we submitted a nonsubstantive change to the COS 

questionnaire. This revision added three 

new inquiries as part of the Enterprise 

Statistics Program (ESP). These three 

inquiries were: (1) Operating Revenues 

and Net Sales; (2) Royalties and 

Licenses Fees for the Use of Intellectual 

Property; and (3) Manufacturing 

Activities. In 2012 we continued to ask 

these questions on Form NC–99001 and 

it is our intention to continue to ask 

these additional questions for 2013 on 

Form NC–99001. We also ask questions 

on ownership or control by a foreign 

parent, and ownership of foreign 

affiliates; research and development; 

royalties and license fees for the use of 

intellectual property and manufacturing 

activities. In addition to the mailing of 

multi-location enterprises, the Census 

Bureau will collect data for singlelocation companies on Form NC–99007 

to some large single-location enterprises 

that may have added some locations. 

The 2013 COS will request companylevel information from a selection of 

multi-establishment enterprises, which 

comprises roughly 42,000 parent 

companies and more than 1.4 million 

establishments. COS inquiries sent to 

each of the 42,000 multi-establishment 

enterprises will include inquiries on 

ownership or control by a domestic 

parent, ownership or control by a 

foreign parent, and ownership of foreign 

affiliates; research and development; 

company activities, such as—employees 

from a professional employer 

organization, operating revenue and net 

sales, royalties and license fees for the 

use of intellectual property, and 

manufacturing activities. Establishment 

inquiries include questions on 

operational status, mid-March 

employment, first-quarter payroll, and 

annual payroll of establishments. 

In addition to the 42,000 multiestablishment enterprises, the 2013 COS 

will include approximately 5,000 singlelocation companies that may have 

added some locations. The NC–99007 

Form will be used to collect data for the 

5,000 single-location businesses. 

The information collected by the COS 

is used to maintain and update the BR. 

The BR serves two fundamental 

purposes: 

• First and most important, it 

provides sampling populations and 

enumeration lists for the Census 

Bureau’s economic surveys and 

censuses, and it serves as an integral 

part of the statistical foundation 

underlying those programs. Essential for 

this purpose is the BR’s ability to 

identify all known United States 

business establishments and their 

parent companies. Further, the BR must 

accurately record basic business 

attributes needed to control sampling 

and enumeration. These attributes 

include industry and geographic 

classifications, measures of size and 

economic activity, ownership 

characteristics, and contact information 

(for example, name and address). 

• Second, it provides establishment 

data that serve as the basis for the 

annual County Business Patterns (CBP) 

statistical series. The CBP reports 

present data on number of 

establishments, first quarter payroll, 

annual payroll, and mid-March 

employment summarized by industry 

and employment size class for the 

United States, the District of Columbia, 

island areas, counties, and countyequivalents. No other annual or more 

frequent series of industry statistics 

provides comparable detail, particularly 

for small geographic areas. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; Farms; 

State, local or tribal governments. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Sections 182, 195, 224, and 225.
