SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Customer Data Worksheet
Request for Business Partner Record
Changes.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0265.
Type of Request: Extension with a
revision of currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The information collection
is necessary to effectively monitor
critical producer data changes made in
BP at the request of the producer to
correct or update their information. The
form AD–2047, Customer Data
Worksheet Request for Business Partner
Record Change, is used to collect the
information from the producer to make
changes to the information in BP. The
necessity to monitor critical producer
data changes in the BP database is a
direct result of the OMB Circular A–123
Remediation/Corrective Action Plan for
County Office Operations which
requires effective internal controls to be
in place for Federal programs. FSA team
was established and reviewed and
documented key controls related to all
material producer accounts. FSA also
included the analysis on a review of BP.
The number of respondents increased
by 5,179 to account for additional
customers because of new programs that
have been implemented since the last
OMB approval.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hours is the estimated average
time per response multiplied by the
estimated total annual of responses.
Estimated Average Time to Respond:
Public reporting burden for collection of
this information is estimated to average
0.17 hours per response.
Type of Respondents: FSA, NRCS,
and RD customers currently residing in
BP.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
56,926.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 56,926.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 0.17.

We are requesting comments on all
aspects of this information collection to
help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of FSA,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA’s
estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice, including
name and addresses when provided,
will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will also become a matter of
public record.
