SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Standard Reinsurance
Agreement; Appendices I, II and IV.
OMB Number: 0563–0069.
Type of Request: Revised and new
Information Collection.
Abstract: The Federal Crop Insurance
Act (Act), Title 7 U.S.C. Chapter 36,
Section 1508(k), authorizes the FCIC to
provide reinsurance to insurers
approved by FCIC that insure producers
of any agricultural commodity under
one or more plans acceptable to FCIC.
The Act also states that the reinsurance
shall be provided on such terms and
conditions as the Board may determine
to be consistent with subsections (b) and
(c) of this section and sound reinsurance
principles.
FCIC executes the same form of
reinsurance agreement, called the
Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA),
with sixteen participating insurers
approved for the 2011 reinsurance year.
Appendix I of the SRA, Regulatory
Duties and Responsibilities, sets forth
the company’s responsibilities as
required by statute. Appendix II of the
SRA, the Plan of Operations (Plan), sets
forth the information the insurer is
required to file with RMA for each
reinsurance year they wish to
participate. The Plan’s information
enables RMA to evaluate the insurer’s
financial and operational capability to
deliver the crop insurance program in
accordance with the Act. Estimated
premiums by fund by state, and retained
percentages along with current
policyholders surplus are used in
calculations to determine whether to
approve the insurer’s requested
maximum reinsurable premium volume
for the reinsurance year per 7 CFR part
400 subpart L. This information has a
direct effect upon the insurer’s amount
of retained premium and associated

liability and is required to calculate the
insurer’s underwriting gain or loss.
Appendix IV of the SRA, Quality
Control and Program Integrity,
establishes the minimum annual agent
and loss adjuster training requirements,
and quality control review procedures
and performance standards required of
the insurance companies. FCIC requires
each insurer to submit, for each
reinsurance year, a Quality Control
Report to FCIC containing details of the
results of their completed reviews. The
insurance companies must also provide
an annual Training and Performance
Evaluation Report which details the
evaluation of each agent and loss
adjuster and reports of any remedial
actions taken by the Company to correct
any error or omission or ensure
compliance with the SRA.
Since the currently approved
information collection package does not
account for new information collections
implemented in the 2011 reinsurance
year, we are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve this revised information
collection activity for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public concerning
this information collection activity as
associated with the SRA in effect for the
2011 and subsequent reinsurance years.
These comments will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information;
(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, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
The SRA includes Conflict of Interest
data collection, which in addition to the
insurance companies reinsured by FCIC,
encompasses the insurance companies’
employees and their contracted agents
and loss adjusters. The SRA also
includes a Controlled Business data
collection from all employed or
