Farmers certification, petitioners must
supply the information required by 7
CFR 1580.203. Once a petition has been
certified, individuals covered by the
certification must apply for TAA for
Farmers benefits in accordance with 7

required on an application (form FSA–
229) must be collected from those who
wish to receive program benefits.

Estimate Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Burden of Hours per
Response: 14 hours.

suggestions to the above address
regarding the accuracy of the burden,
estimate, ways to minimize the burden,
including through the use of automated
