Abstract: The purpose of this collection is to determine whether a State's Central Filing System can be certified under Sec. 1324 of the Food Security Act of 1985. The collection of information is necessary for the Secretary to comply with section 1324 of the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 1631). Among other things, section 1324 permits the States to establish “central filing systems” for the purpose of pre-notifying buyers, commission merchants, and selling agents of security interests against “farm products.” These central filing systems provide buyers of farm products the ability to check for mortgages and liens against the farm product the buyer is interested in.
