Risk Management Agency
Title: Multiple Peril Crop Insurance.
OMB Control Number: 0563–0053.
Summary of Collection: The Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is a
wholly-owned Government corporation
created February 16, 1938 (7 U.S.C.
1501). The program was amended
previously, by Public Law 96–365,
dated September 26, 1980, that provided
for nationwide expansion of a
comprehensive crop insurance program.
The Federal Crop Insurance Act (Act),
as amended in later years, further
expanded the role of the crop insurance
program to be the principal risk
management safety net used by
producers to cover crop losses. The Act
further required that the crop insurance
program operate on an actuarially sound
basis. To meet these goals, existing crop
programs must be improved and
expanded, new crop products
developed, and new insurance concepts
studied for possible implementation.
Meeting these goals requires the
collection of a wide range of
information (data elements). These data
elements are used in part to determine
insurance coverage, premiums,
subsidies, payments, and indemnities. It

allows for other program and
administrative operations. It also creates
an information database used to support
continued development and
improvements in crop insurance
products available to producers and
which meet the goal of a sound
insurance program. The Act was again
amended on June 20, 2000, by Public
Law 106–224 which mandates changes
to crop insurance regulations, provides
for independent review of crop
insurance products by persons
experienced as actuaries and in
underwriting, and gives contracting
authority for the development of new
products.
Need and Use of the Information: The
collection of information involves
producers and insurance companies.
Specific information (data) is required
to apply for crop insurance, determine
program eligibility, report crop
information, establish liability, change
coverage, determine a loss, etc.
Producers must provide records,
documents, or other information to the
insurance company during an
investigation or settlement of a claim.
Insurance companies may provide late
or prevented planting coverage, or
provide coverage under a written
agreement when coverage would not
otherwise be available, etc. Pertinent
information must be collected by the
established dates to administer the crop
insurance program in an actuarially
sound manner.
The information collection
requirements for this revised package
are necessary for administering the crop
insurance program. Insurance
companies must obtain enough
information so insurability, liability,
premium, subsidy, and indemnities can
be accurately determined. It is
important that insurance agents work
closely with producers to collect
accurate information since the
guarantee, liability, premium, subsidy,
and any applicable indemnities are
based on this information.
