Short Statement: FSA is requesting a revision of a currently approved collection. The current burden inventory is 64,802 estimated annual respondents, 146,434 estimated annual responses, and 149,426 estimated annual burden hours. With this revision the agency is seeking 66,041 estimated annual respondents, 153,976 estimated annual responses and 158,263 estimated annual burden hours. This reflects an increase in the number of estimated respondents 1,239, increase in the estimated number of responses 7,542 and an increase in the number of estimated annual burden hours 8,837 since the last OMB submission. The changes in this request are program adjustments as FSA gets more applications per year than previously due to the downturn in the farming economy and anticipated increase in financially distressed borrowers.
