Risk Management Agency
Title: General Administrative
Regulations; Subpart V-Submission of
Policies, Provisions of Policies, Rates of
Premium, and Non-Reinsured
Supplemental Policies.
OMB Control Number: 0563–0064.
Summary of Collections: The Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC)
amends the procedures for the
submission of policies, plans of
insurance, or other rates or premium by
insurance companies, entities or other
persons. Public Law 96–365 provided
for nationwide expansion of a
comprehensive crop insurance program.
The Federal Crop Insurance Act, as
amended, expanded the role of the crop
insurance to be the principal tool for
risk management by producers of farm
products and required that the crop
insurance program operate on an
actuarially sound basis. It provides for
independent reviews of insurance
products by persons experienced as
actuaries and in underwriting. The Act
was further amended in 2008 to provide
the opportunity for the submission of a
concept proposal to the FCIC Board of
Directors (Board) for approval for
advance payment of estimated research
and development expenses.
Need and Use of the Information: An
applicant has the option to submit a
concept proposal or a submission
package for a crop insurance product
and have it presented to the Board. The
Board will review an applicant’s
submissions to determine, if the
interests of agricultural producers and
taxpayers are protected; the submission
is actuarially appropriate; appropriate
insurance principles are followed; the
requirements of the Act are met; and
that sound, reasonable and appropriate
underwriting principals are followed. If
the information is incomplete, the
submission will be disapproved.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other-for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 288.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping: Reporting; Other.
Total Burden Hours: 113,921.

Summary of Collection: The Federal
Crop Insurance Act, Title 7 U.S.C.
Chapter 36 Sec. 1508(k), authorizes the
Federal Crop Insurance Corporation
(FCIC) to provide reinsurance to
approved insurance providers that
insure producers of any agricultural
commodity under one or more plans
acceptable to FCIC. The Standard
Reinsurance Agreement (SRA) is a
financial agreement between FCIC and
the company to provide subsidy and
reinsurance on eligible crop insurance.
The SRA includes Regulatory Duties
and Responsibilities, Plan of
Operations, Policy Acceptance and
Storage System and Quality Assurance
and Program Integrity.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Plan of Operations provides the
information the insurer is required to
file for the initial and each subsequent
reinsurance year. FCIC uses the
information as a basis for the approval
of the insurer’s financial and
operational capability of delivering the
crop insurance program and for
evaluating the insurer’s performance
regarding implementation of procedures
for training and quality control. If the
information were not collected, FCIC
would not be able to reinsure the crop
business.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; Farms.
Number of Respondents: 20,019.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 173,200.
