## Farm Service Agency

*Title:*                     Certified Mediation Program (7 CFR part 785).                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0560-0165.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The USDA Agricultural Medication Program (AMP) is mandated by Subtitle A and B of Title V of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100-233), as amended. Under the program, USDA makes grants to state-designated entitles that provide mediation to agricultural producers, their lenders and others that are directly affected by the action of certain USDA agencies. In mediation, a trained impartial mediator helps participants review and discuss their conflicts, identify options to resolve disputes and agree on solutions. The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is administering the program.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     FSA will collect information to determine whether the participants meet the eligibility requirements to be recipients of grant funds, and secondly, to determine if the grant is being administered as provided by the Act. Lack of adequate information to make these determinations could result in the improper administration and appropriation of Federal grant funds.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     State, Local or Tribal Government.

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: Annually.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     500.
