DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
National Appeals Division
National Urban and Community
Forestry Advisory Council
Title: National Appeals Division
Customer Service Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0503–0007.
Summary of Collection: The Secretary
of Agriculture established the National
Appeals Division (NAD) on October 20,
1994, by Secretary’s Memorandum
1010–1, pursuant to the Federal Crop
Insurance Reform and Department of
Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994.
The Act consolidated the appellate
functions and staff of several USDA
Agencies and provided for independent
hearings and reviews of adverse
decisions of Agencies within USDA.
Hearing Officers conduct evidentiary
hearings on adverse decisions or, when
the appellant requests they review the
Agency’s record of the adverse decision
without a hearing. Although NAD
maintains a database to track appeal
requests, the database contains only
information necessary to process the
appeal request, such as the name,
address, filing results etc. NAD wants to
update its information that is currently
used to measure the efficiency and level
of satisfaction with the USDA appeal
process and gather data on the public’s
awareness of its services. NAD will
collect information using a survey.
Need and Use of the Information:
NAD will collect information to
determine the extent of the public’s
awareness of NAD’s purpose, mission,
and services. Also, information from the
survey will be used to provide a
snapshot of the quality of NAD’s
services. The collected information from
the surveys will be used to alter current
or establish new training for Hearing
and Appeals Officers.

Individuals or households; Not-forprofit institutions; Business or other forprofit; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
