The 2017 WHIP establishes the
requirements for eligible producers who suffered eligible crop,
tree, bush, and vine losses resulting from 2017 hurricanes and
wildfires as specified in Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. The
information collection is necessary for FSA to evaluate the
application and other required paperwork for determining the
producer’s eligibilities and assist in producer’s payment
calculations. The QLA program is also providing assistance to the
producers as specified in the Disaster Relief Act.
The respondents have been
adjusted to 7,248, with approved burden hours of 604 hours in this
collection. The number of respondents and responses is reduced by
232,145 from the previously approved 239,393 respondents, and the
annual burden hours is reduced by 185,044 from the previously
approved 185,648. The revisions remove the respondents and hours
for obsolete forms no longer being collected. The remaining
approved respondents and burden hours reflect the estimate of
producers and hours related to compliance activities with
participants’ certifications on FSA-891 and FSA-895.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
