OMB Control Number: 0560–0215. Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 2021. Type of Request: Extension with a revision. Abstract: Form CCC–10, ‘‘Representations for Commodity Credit Corporation or Farm Service Agency Loans and Authorization to File a Financing Statement and Related Documents’’ is necessary to: (a) Gather or verify basic data, provided by a CCC or FSA loan applicant, that is required on a financing statement filed by CCC or FSA to perfect a security interest in collateral used to secure a loan; and (b) Obtain applicant permission to file a financing statement prior to the execution of a security agreement. FSA’s Farm Loan Programs (FLP) uses the CCC–10 when a nonapplicant third party pledges the full value of chattel security to FSA as adequate security required for an FLP loan. FSA increased the number of respondents by 1,766 and the burden hours increased by 147. The applicants who are applying for farm loans to pledge security for a loan have increased since the last request. CCC’s Marketing Assistance Loan and Farm Storage Facility Loan programs are exempted from Paperwork Reduction Act. For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the formula used to calculate the total burden hours is the estimated average time per response multiplied by the estimated total annual of responses.
