OMB Control Number: 0560–0185.
Expiration Date of Approval: June 30,
2013.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The collection of this
information is necessary to determine
payment eligibility of individuals and
entities for various programs
administered by the USDA, including
Conservation Programs, Price Support
Programs, Direct and Counter Cyclical
Programs, including the Average Crop
Revenue Election Program, Aquaculture
and Livestock Grant Programs, Crop and
Livestock Energy Programs, USDA
Revenue Programs, Wildlife Programs,
Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance
Program, Disaster Programs and Farm
Loan Programs. Regulations governing
the requirements under Title XII of the
Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C.

Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
(see Pub. L. 110–246, Title II, Subtitle
A), relating to highly erodible lands and
wetlands are in 7 CFR part 12. In order
to ensure that persons who request
program benefits subject to conservation
restrictions obtain the necessary
technical assistance and are informed
regarding compliance requirements on
their land, information is collected with
regard to their intended activities on
their land which could affect their
eligibility for requested USDA benefits.
Once technical determinations are
made, producers are required to certify
that they will comply with conservation
requirements on their land to maintain
their eligibility for certain programs.
Persons may request that certain
activities be exempt according to
provisions of the 1985 Farm Bill.
Information is collected from those
individuals who seek these exemptions
for the purpose of evaluating whether
the exempted conditions will be met.
Forms AD–1026, AD–1026B, AD–
1026C, AD–1026D, AD–1068, AD–1069,
CCC–21, and FSA–492 are being used
for making determinations in this
information collection. The forms are
not required to be completed on an
annual basis.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 10 minutes per
response. The average travel time,

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; and
(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.
