Short Statement: The agency is requesting a reinstatement with change of a previously approved information collection. On page 3 of the FSA-325, under the instructions for “Part B,” the handbook reference was changed from 7-AO to 1-CM. This update was made to reference the current handbook that contains the policy cited in the instructions. The handbook previously referenced is obsolete. There are no revisions to the burden hours or burden estimates. The previous ICR only included one type of respondent, Individuals, however, this request is for individuals/households, business or other for-profits, and farms so a new IC was created to capture this.
