Title: Farm Reconstitutions -- 7 CFR Part 718
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved	Conclusion Date: 12/05/1997
	Date Received in OIRA: 08/04/1997
Terms of Clearance: Other than a few minor changes, the supporting statement for this information collection is identical to the submission approved by OMB in 1994. As a result, the supporting statement does not address the implications of the 1996 Farm Bill implementation for the practical utility of the information collected. The form, FSA-155, submitted with the supporting statement has been substantially revised since the 1994 approval. The supporting statement contains no explanation of the practical utility of the the additional information collected with the revised form. Furthermore, despite the additional information requested, the burden for the completion of this form has been reduced from 45 to 15 minutes without any explanation. Note: OMB had approved the use of the revised form as part of an emergency clearance in June 1996. (See OMB 0560-0169). However, the clearance and OMB's approval of the form expired in October 1996. Therefore, the form approved in 1994 is the only form currently approved by OMB. The submission also includes the 1994 response to terms of clearance in effect at that time. This information should be as current as possible and be incorporated into the supporting statement.
