    OMB Control Number: 0560-0291.
    Summary of Collection: The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA, Pub.

trees, bushes, and vine losses due to 2017 wildfires and hurricanes. 
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is implementing the provisions of the BBA 
by providing up to $2 billion in assistance to eligible producers 
through the 2017 WHIP, and approximately $340 million through a block 
grant with the State of Florida to address losses to citrus trees, and 
production.
    FSA is also providing the QLA assistance to the producers as 
specified in the Disaster Relief Act. The Additional Supplemental 
Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019 (Disaster Relief Act; Pub. 
L. 116-20) also provides disaster assistance for necessary expenses 
related to losses of crops (including milk, on-farm stored commodities, 
crops prevented from planting in 2019, and harvested adulterated wine 
grapes), trees, bushes, and vines, as a consequence of hurricanes, 
floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and 
wildfires occurring in calendar years 2018 and 2019.
    Need and Use of the Information: In order for FSA to determine 
whether a producer is eligible for 2017 WHIP and to calculate a 
payment, a producer is required to submit FSA-890 2017, WHIP

Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation 
Certification. The information collected from the forms will be used by 
FSA and the State of Florida to determine eligibility and distribute 
payments to eligible producers under WHIP.
    In order to determine whether a producer is eligible for the QLA 
Program and to calculate a payment, a producer is required to submit 
form FSA-898, QLA Program application; form FSA-899, Historical 
Nutritional Value Weighted Average Worksheet (Continuation); form FSA-
