description, FSA farm number, FSA
tract number, FSA field number,
geospatial as-planted field boundaries,
Resource Land Unit, etc.).
FSA and RMA are continuing to
implement the ACRSI initiative in
phases. The first phase was initiated in
the fall of 2011 in Dickenson, Marion,
McPherson, and Saline Counties in
Kansas, and only for the collection of
information from producers regarding
winter wheat. The second phase was
implemented in the spring of 2015 in 30
counties of Illinois and Iowa covering 9
crops. The third phase was
implemented in the fall of 2015 in all
counties of 15 states covering 9 crops.
The fourth phase was implemented in
the spring of 2016 in all counties
nationwide covering 13 crops and about
90 percent of reported acreage. The fifth
phase was implemented in the fall of
2016 expanding nationwide coverage to
16 crops and about 93 percent of
reported acreage. The sixth phase was
implemented in the fall of 2017 and
spring of 2018 expanding nationwide
coverage to 25 crops and about 94
percent of reported acreage. To ensure
statutory criteria are met for Federal
crop insurance, FSA and Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC) programs, the
collection of commodity and acreage
information is necessary. This is not a
request for a change, addition, or
deletion to the currently approved
information collections.
However, the existing approved
information collection will be updated,
modified or eliminated, as applicable, to
reflect the reduction in burden on the
respondents when the solution is fully
implemented.

Forms.
OMB Number: 0596–0003.
Expiration Date of Approval:
September 30, 2018.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: This information collection
extension is necessary to continue
allowing proper administration of
livestock grazing programs on National
Forest System (NFS) lands. Domestic
livestock grazing occurs on
approximately 94 million acres of NFS
lands. Grazing on NFS lands is subject
to authorization and administrative
oversight by the Forest Service. The
information collected by the Forest
Service is the minimum required for
issuance and administration of grazing
permits, including fee collections, as
authorized by the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976,
as amended (43 U.S.C. 1700 et seq.) and
United States Department of Agriculture
regulations at 36 CFR 222, subparts A
and C. Similar information is not
available from any other source. Some
of the forms have been updated for
technical corrections; these edits do not
change the intent, amount, or type of
information collected from the public.
Forest Service officials currently use
the following forms to collect the
information necessary to administer this
program.

information:
Estimate of Annual Burden: 20
minutes to complete the form.
• Name and address of applicant;

likely to comply with grazing permit
terms and conditions.

Grazing Permit enables the Forest
Service to terminate an individual’s
grazing privileges on certain NFS lands
based upon that individual’s sale or
transfer of base property, permitted
livestock, or both to another individual
who desires to acquire a new grazing
permit. The waiver enables the Forest
Service to cancel the grazing permit
held by the individual who sold or

livestock, or both; and to identify the
individual who acquired the base
property, permitted livestock, or both as
the preferred applicant for a new
grazing permit.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 30

amount of the loan, and the due date for
repayment. The information assists
Agency officials in determining whether
to hold in escrow, on behalf of the
lender, all of the privileges associated

privilege to graze. The Forest Service
uses the collected information to (1)
notify the lender of important issues
associated with the administration of
the grazing permit and (2) facilitate the
