jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Statistics Services (NASS) is to prepare
and issue state and national estimates of
crop and livestock production under the
authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204. NASS will
conduct a national childhood
agricultural injury survey and an adult
occupational farm injury survey
focusing on the minority farm
population. The study will provide
estimates of annual childhood and adult
nonfatal injury incidence rates, annual
injury frequencies, and descriptive
injury information for children under
the age of 20 and farm operators and
employees 20 years of age or older.
Need and Use of the Information:
Data from this survey will provide a
source of consistent information that the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) can use to
target funds appropriated by Congress
for the prevention of childhood
agricultural injuries and adult
occupational injuries. No source of data
on childhood injuries or adult
occupational farm injuries exists that
covers all aspects of the agricultural
production sector. If this information is
not collected, NIOSH’s ability to track
and evaluate the impact of its injury
prevention efforts will decrease.
Description of Respondents: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 50,500.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Other (One-Time).
Total Burden Hours: 12,404.
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Generic Clearance to Conduct
Survey Research Studies.
OMB Control Number: 0535–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The primary
objectives of the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare
and issue State and national estimates of
crop and livestock production,
economic statistics, and environmental
statistics related to agriculture and to
conduct the Census of Agriculture. The
purpose of this generic clearance is to
allow NASS to continue to develop, test,
evaluate, adopt, and use state-of-the-art
techniques to cover a broad range of
topics designed to improve NASS’ data
collection on agriculture.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS will use a number of survey
improvement techniques, as appropriate
to the individual project under
investigation. These include focus
groups, cognitive and usability
laboratory and field techniques,
exploratory interviews, behavior coding,
respondent debriefing, pilot surveys and
split-panel tests. The information
gathered will be used mainly for
questionnaire development and other
research and evaluation. Additionally,
NASS anticipates the benefit of

Officer for Agriculture, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,

(OMB),
OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or

the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Farm Service Agency
Title: Representations for CCC and
FSA Loans and Authorization to File a
Financing Statement.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0215.
Summary of Collection: The revised
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code deals with secured transaction for
personal property. The revised Article 9
affects the manner in which the
Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC)
and the Farm Service Agency (FSA), as
well as any other creditor, perfect and
liquidate security interests in collateral.
FSA operates several loan programs that
are affected by the revision to Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code. Each
of the programs requires that loans be
secured with collateral. The security
interest is created and attaches to the
collateral when: (1) Value has been
given, (2) the debtor has rights in the
collateral or the power to transfer rights
in the collateral, and (3) the debtor has
authenticated a security agreement that
provides a description of the collateral.
FSA will collect information using form
CCC–10. The information obtained on
CCC–10 is needed to not only obtain
authorization from loan applicants to
file a financing statement without their
signature, and to verify the name and
location of the debtor.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information that FSA collects will be
used to gather or verify basic data
regarding the applicant which is
required on a financing statement and to
obtain permission to file a financing
statement prior to the execution of a
security agreement. Without obtaining
the information from loan applicants,
CCC and FSA would be unable to
perfect a security interest in collateral
used to secure loans.
Description of Respondents: Farms;
Individuals or households; Business or
other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 55,500.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting;
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 32,357.
