statistical agency or unit. This new

Need and Use of the Information:

from federal statistical agencies and
units enables agencies, the
Congressional Budget Office, State,
local, and Tribal governments,
researchers, and other individuals to
contribute evidence-based information
to research and policy questions on
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Power of Attorney.

Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2023.
Type of Request: Revision and
extension.
Abstract: Individuals or entities that
want to appoint another to act as an
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
individual’s or entity’s behalf for certain
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

provided help to producers who were
not normally covered by FSA programs.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hours is the estimated average
time per responses multiplied by the
estimated total annual of responses.
Estimate of Average Time To
Respond: Public reporting burden for
collecting information under this notice
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
completing and reviewing the collection
of information.
Type of Respondents: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
16,000.
Estimated Average Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
16,000.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 0.4843.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 7,750 hours.
FSA is requesting comments on all
aspects of this information collection to
help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the information
will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of 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 information
collection on those who respond 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.
