## Farm Service Agency

*Title:*                     Request for Special Priorities Assistance (Agriculture Priorities and Allocations System (APAS)).                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0560-0280.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Request for Special Priorities Assistance (Agriculture Priorities and Allocations System (APAS)) regulation is promulgated in 7 CFR 789. This information is used to support the APAS managed by the United States Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency (FSA). The APAS program supports not only national defense needs (such as food for combat rations), but also emergency preparedness initiatives by addressing essential civilian needs (food and food resources) through the placing of priorities on contracts for items and services or allocating resources, as necessary. Priorities contracts are required to be given preference over other respective contracts to ensure timely delivery of an item that has been deemed necessary only in times of emergency or to promote the U.S. national defense.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     Information collected on the form AD-2102, Request for Special Priorities Assistance for Emergency Preparedness form is used to grant a priority rating request on contract(s) between the government and private parties or between private parties for the production or delivery of food, food resources (including livestock, feed, and agriculture seed), fertilizer, and farm equipment. The information collected on the Request for Special Priorities Assistance is limited to: (1) Name, address, and contact information of the person making the request for priority rating of a contract, (2) Name, address, and contact information of the vendor supplying the item, (3) Items the person is requesting for a priority rating on a contract, including `required by shipping dates' and (4) Explanatory section for the person to include circumstances requiring this request.                

Failure to collect and maintain the data collected on the form will limit or eliminate USDA's ability to prepare for, respond to, and conduct emergency recovery actions because of an actual or impending hazard.

*Description of Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     50.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     25.
