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: 195.
