WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
commodities, aquaculture products, or
wild-caught aquatic species (jointly
referred to as ‘‘agricultural
commodities’’) have contributed
importantly to a greater than 15 percent
decrease in the national average price,
or quantity of production, or value of
production, or cash receipts for the
agricultural commodity specified in the
certified petition compared to the
average of the three preceding marketing
years. The regulation 7 CFR part 1580
established the procedure by which
producers of raw agricultural
commodities and fishermen can petition
(form FAS–930 or a reasonable
substitute) for certification of eligibility
and apply for technical assistance and
cash payments. To receive consideration
for TAA for Farmers certification,
petitioners must supply the information
required by 7 CFR 1580.201. Once a
petition has been certified, individuals
covered by the certification must apply
for TAA for Farmers benefits in
accordance with 7 CFR 1580.301. The
specific information required on an
application (form FSA–229) must be
collected from those who wish to
receive program benefits. The number of
respondents has doubled since the
original Paperwork Reduction Act
information collection procedure was
filed in August 2003. The revision to
this information collection is to
decrease the total estimated burden
hours from 14,000 to 8,750 hours based
on changes to previous program
eligibility requirements.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,250.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Burden of Hours per
Response: 7 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 8,750 hours.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Tamoria
Thompson-Hall, the Agency Information
Collection Coordinator, at (202) 690–
1690.

comments and suggestions to the above
address regarding the accuracy of the
burden, estimate, ways to minimize the

other forms of information technology,
or any other aspect of this collection of
information. Comments on the issues

Act are most useful to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) if
