## Farm Service Agency

*Title:*                     Assignments of Payments and Joint Payment Authorizations; Request for Waiver.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0560-0183.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. 590h(g)) authorizes producers to assign, in writing, Farm Service Agency (FSA) conservation program payments. The statute requires that any such assignment be signed and witnessed. The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, extends that authority to Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) programs, including rice, feed grains, cotton, and wheat. When the recipient of an FSA, NRCS, or CCC payment chooses to assign a payment to another party or have the payment made jointly with another party, the other party must be identified. All federal nontax payments must be made by EFT, unless a waiver applies which requires certain criteria to be granted. FSA will collect information using forms CCC-36, CCC 37, CCC-251, CCC-252 and FPAC-FM-12.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     The information collected on the forms will be used by FSA and NRCS employees in order to record the payment or contract being assigned, the amount of the assignment, the date of the assignment, and the name and address of the assignee and the assignor. This is to enable FSA employee to pay the proper party when payments become due. FSA will also use the information to issue program payments jointly at the request of the producer and also terminate joint payments at the request of both the producer and joint payee.                

*Description of Respondent:*                     Farms.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     202,612.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting; On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     72,962.
