SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: General Administrative 

Regulations; Subpart V—Submission of 

Policies, Provisions of Policies, Rates of 

Premium, and Non-Reinsured 

Supplemental Policies. 

OMB Number: 0563–0064. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

December 31, 2017. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: FCIC is proposing to renew 

the currently approved information 

collection, OMB Number 0563–0064. It 

is currently up for renewal and 

extension for three years. Subpart V 

establishes guidelines for the 

submission of policies or other materials 

to the FCIC Board of Directors (Board) 

and identifies the required contents of a 

submission: the timing, review, and 

confidentiality requirements; 

reimbursement of research and 

development costs, maintenance costs, 

and user fees; and guidelines for nonreinsured supplemental policies. This 

data is used to administer the Federal 

crop insurance program in accordance 

with the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as 

amended. 

The submission’s per-response time 

was adjusted because FCIC reviewed 

each line item and consulted with Risk 

Management Agency subject matter 

experts. In this review, FCIC determined 

the total number of product submissions 

were overestimated, therefore, lowering 

the amount of product submissions for 

the information collection. 

FCIC is requesting the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

extend the approval of this information 

collection for an additional 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public concerning 

this information collection. These 

comments will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information has practical 

utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies, e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 343 

hours per response. 

Respondents/affected entities: Parties 

affected by the information collection 

requirements included in this Notice is 

a person (including an approved 

insurance provider, a college or 

university, a cooperative or trade 

association, or any other person) who 

prepares a submission, proposes to the

Guidance on Integrated Surveillance of 

Antimicrobial Resistance, taking into

WHO Advisory Group on Integrated 

Surveillance of Antimicrobial

(OIE) documents. 

The Committee is hosted by the 

Republic of Korea.
