    Title: Application for Payment of Amounts Due Persons Who Have

    OMB Control Number: 0560-0026.
    Expiration Date: November 30, 2010.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: Persons desiring to claim payment due a person who has 
died, disappeared, or has been declared incompetent must complete a 
form FSA-325 of Application for Payment of Amounts Due Persons Who Have 
Died, Disappeared, or Have Been Declared Incompetent. This information 
is used by FSA county office employees to document the relationship of 
heirs or beneficiaries and determine the order of precedence for 
disbursing payments to survivors of the person who has died, 
disappeared, or been declared incompetent.
    Information is obtained only when a producer eligible to receive a 
payment or disbursement dies, disappears, or is declared incompetent, 
and documentation is needed to determine if any survivors are entitled 
to receive such payments or disbursements.
    Estimated Average Time to Respond: Public reporting burden for this 
collection of information is estimated to average .5 hours (30 minutes) 
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.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 2,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,000.
    We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information 
collection and 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 comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the submission for Office 
of Management and Budget approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on June 3, 2010.
