    Abstract: The information collection is needed to enable the 
Department of Agriculture to effectively administrate the Aerial 
Photography Program. APFO has the responsibility for conducting and 
coordinating the FSA's aerial photography, remote sensing programs, and 
the aerial photography flying contract programs. The digital and film 
imagery secured by FSA is public domain and reproductions are available 
at cost to any customer with a need. All receipts from the sale of 
aerial photography products and services are retained by FSA. The FSA-
441, Request for Aerial Photography, is the form FSA supplies to the 
customers for placing an order for aerial imagery products and 
services.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this information 
collection is estimated to average 19 minutes hours per response. The 
average travel time, which is included in the total burden, is 
estimated to be 1 hour per respondent.
    Respondents: Farmers, Ranchers and other USDA customers who wish to 
purchase imagery products and services.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,120.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Annual Responses on Respondents: 12,120.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3770 hours.
    We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information 
collection to help us to:
    (1) Determine whether the continued collection of information is 
still necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the FSA, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Assess the accuracy of the 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;
    (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 comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget approval.
