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.

Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Control and Eradication of 

African Swine Fever; Conditions for 

Payment of Indemnity Claims. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0491. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The law 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad 

authority to detect, control, or eradicate 

pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. 

The Secretary may also prohibit or 

restrict import or export of any animal 

or related material if required to prevent 

the spread of any livestock or poultry 

pest or disease. The AHPA is contained 

in Title X, Subtitle E, Sections 10401– 

18 of Public Law 107–171, May 13, 

2002, the Farm Security and Rural 

Investment Act of 2002; 7 U.S.C. 8301, 

et. seq. 

Part of the mission of the Veterinary 

Services (VS) business unit of the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is preventing foreign 

animal disease outbreaks in the United 

States, and monitoring, controlling, and 

eliminating a disease outbreak should 

one occur. In the past several years, 

there have been significant worldwide 

outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) 

and the USDA is committed to working 

with State and industry partners to keep 

the virus out of the United States and its 

territories. 

Need and Use of the Information: VS 

or State personnel, as part of incident 

management team operations, will 

collect from herd owners or growers of 

ASF presumptive positive or positive 

premises information needed to 

reimburse the owners or growers for the 

value of any animals taken and develop 

a plan for virus elimination so the 

owner or grower can return to normal 

business operations. 

If the information were conducted 

less frequently or not at all, APHIS 

would not be able to develop disease 

mitigation plans or properly reimburse 

producers and herd owners for their lost 

inventory.

Businesses or other for-profit; State, 

Local, and Tribal governments.
