statistical agency or unit. This new
process will be implemented while
maintaining stringent controls to protect
confidentiality and privacy, as required
by law.
Need and Use of the Information:

economic, social, and environmental
issues of national, regional, and local
importance. This evidence can benefit
the stakeholders in the programs, the
broader public, as well as policymakers
and program managers at the local,
State, Tribal, and National levels.

attorney-in-fact in connection with
certain FSA, CCC, NRCS, FCIC, and
RMA programs and related actions must
complete a form of FSA–211, Power of
Attorney form. The form is used by a
grantor to appoint another to act on the

FSA, CCC, NRCS, FCIC and RMA
programs or other specific actions,
giving the appointee legal authority to
enter into certain programs, agreements,
or contracts, or other specific actions on
the grantor’s behalf. The form also
provides FSA, CCC, NRCS, FCIC and
RMA a source to verify an individual’s
authority to sign and act for another in
the event of errors or fraud. The
information collected on the form is
limited to grantor’s name, signature and
identification number, the grantee’s
address, and the applicable FSA, CCC,
NRCS, FCIC and RMA programs or
transactions.
The burden hours in this collection
increased by 1,526 hours since the last
OMB approval. The reason for the
increase in hours is due to the increase
in FSA customers during the pandemic.
The increase in customers is due to the
multiple pandemic programs that

burden hours is the estimated average
time per responses multiplied by the

is estimated to average 0.4843 minutes
per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and

of information.

households.

16,000.

collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the information
will have practical utility;
