damaged by natural disasters, and for
emergency water conservation measures
in severe droughts; and
(2) Effectively administer the
regulations for BCAP, which are set
forth at 7 CFR part 1450, so as to
provide financial assistance to owners
and operators of agricultural and nonindustrial private forest land who wish
to establish, produce, and deliver
biomass feedstocks.
This information is collected in
support of, respectively, sections 401–
407 of the Agricultural Credit Act of
1978 (Pub. L. 95–334), as amended, and
section 9011 of the Farm Security and
Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L.
107–171), as amended.
Activity related to BCAP did not
change since the last Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
submission due to the lack of BCAP
funding. Activity related to ECP
requests, approvals, and payments has
increased due to major storm systems
that caused catastrophic damage across
the nation, from 2022–2023. Hurricane
Fiona and Ian occurred in 2022.
Multiple wildfires in 2022 and flood
events in 2023 all contributed to the
increase in activity. The new Cost-Share
Request form for ECP is included in this
request. The number of responses
increased to 560,000 while the burden
hours increased by 18,497 to cover the
new Cost-Share Request form. The
number of respondents remains 140,000
in the request.
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.
Estimate of Average Time to Respond:
Public reporting burden for collecting
information under this notice is
estimated to average 0.0688 hours per
responses, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed,
completing and reviewing the collection
of information for all respondents.
Type of Respondents: Owners,
operators and other eligible agricultural
producers on eligible farmland.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
140,000.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 3.04.
Estimated Total Annual Reponses:
945,445.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 67,852 hours.

aspects of this information collection to
