Collection

    Abstract: The information collection is needed to enable the 
Department of Agriculture to effectively administrate the Aerial 
Photography Program. APFO has the responsibility for conducting and 
coordinating the FSA's aerial photography, remote sensing programs, and 
the aerial photography flying contract programs. The digital and film 
imagery secured by FSA is public domain and reproductions are available 
at cost to any customer with a need. All receipts from the sale of 
aerial photography products and services are retained by FSA. The FSA-
441, Request for Aerial Photography, is the form FSA supplies to the 
customers for placing an order for aerial imagery products and 
services. The burden hours have decreased because there are a fewer 
customers requesting for the aerial photography products.
    For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the 
formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated 
average time per responses hours multiplied by the estimated total 
annual responses.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this information 
collection is estimated to average 19 minutes per response. The average 
travel time, which is included in the total burden, is estimated to be 
1 hour per respondent.
    Type of Respondents: Farmers, Ranchers and other customers who wish 
to purchase imagery products and services.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,465.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 1,465.
    Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.296.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours on Respondents: 433 hours.
    We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information 
collection to help us to:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of FSA, including whether the 
information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA's estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;
    (3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
technology; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    All comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses where provided, will be made a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the request for OMB 
approval of the information collection.
