person claims that they are due a

to a producer that has died, 

disappeared, or has been declared 

incompetent, and documentation is 

needed to determine if any individuals 

are entitled to receive such payments or 

disbursements.

We are requesting comments on all

help us to:

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;

clarity of the information to be

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated,
