Risk Management Agency
Title: Acreage/Crop Reporting
Streamlining Initiative.
OMB Control Number: 0563–0084.
Summary of Collection: Section
508(f)(3) of the Federal Crop Insurance
Act (7 U.S.C. 1515); 7 U.S.C. 7333(b)(3);
7 CFR 457.8 and 7 CFR 1437.7(d)
mandates the collection of acreage and
production information from producers
who wish to participate in certain
USDA programs. The Farm Service
Agency (FSA) and the Risk Management

source reporting system to establish a
single reporting and data collection.
Need and use of the Information: This
initiative is being conducted in phases
by geographical area and additional
commodities. Counties are selected
based on their commonality of historical
crop reporting, high percentage of
producers participating in both RMA
and FSA programs and the high level of
interest of the private agricultural
service industry (precision-ag and farm
management) in the pilot phases. It will
reengineer the procedures, processes,
and standards to simplify commodity,
acreage and production reporting by
producers, eliminate or minimize
duplication of information collection by
multiple agencies and reduce the
burden on producers, insurance agents
and AIPs. Information being collected
will consist of, but not be limited to:
Producer name, location state,
commodity name, commodity type or
variety, location county, date planted,
land location (legal description, FSA
farm number, FSA track number, FSA
field number), intended use, prevented
planting acres, acres planted but failed,
planted acres, and production of
commodity produced. Failure to collect
the applicable information could result
in unearned Federal benefits being
issued or producers being denied
eligibility to program benefits.
