Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The annual burden hour has been increased by 32,010(35,250-3,240). The reasons for changes in annual burden are in the following: (a) multiple Program Years- under the revised program, a producer may apply for up to three program years if applicable. A disaster must be declared for the county in which the producer operates in the year (s) for which the application is filed. This is a change from the previous program that required information for only a specific period during one calendar year. This change requires the number of milk cows in the herd to be reported for the marketing year for which the dairy operation is requesting benefits, rather than only for four months under the previous program. This increases the number of respondents participating in the program; (b)in the previous program a producer had to operate in a declared disaster county. Under the revised program, contiguous counties are eligible. This increases the number of respondents participating in the program; and (c)the travel time increases the total burdens due to increased respondents in the program.
