**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 generalsupervision 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 formore 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.

All responses to this notice, including name and addresses when provided,


### 48412 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 153 / Thursday, August 8, 2013 / Notices

will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will also become a matter of public record.

Signed on July 26, 2013.

**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 CensusBureau 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 COSwill 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.

OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.

Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB Desk Officer either by fax (202–395– 7245) or email (bharrisk@omb.eop.gov ).
