displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS)
Title: Fruit, Nuts, And Specialty
Crops—Substantive Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0039.
Summary of Collection: The primary
function of the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) is to prepare
and issue current official state and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production. Estimates of fruit, tree nuts,
and specialty crops are an integral part
of this program. These estimates support
the NASS strategic plan to cover all
agricultural cash receipts. The authority
to collect these data activities is granted
under U.S. Code title 7, section 2204(a).
Information is collected on a voluntary
basis from growers, processors, and
handlers through surveys. Individually
identifiable data collected under this
authority are governed by Section 1770
of the Food Security Act of 1985, as
amended, 7 U.S.C. 2276, and title III of
Public Law 115–435 (CIPSEA) which
requires USDA to afford strict
confidentially to non-aggregated data
provided by respondents.
The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is requesting a
substantive change to the Fruit, Nuts,
And Specialty Crops information
collection request (OMB No. 0535–0039)
for program changes. Every five years
NASS conducts a program review
following the completion of the Census
of Agriculture. The program changes
balance resources across all of the
programs included in the annual
estimating program, which represents
over 400 individual reports across
multiple Information Collection
Requests (ICRs). This substantive
change is to accommodate the field crop
program changes that affect this ICR.
The methodology, publication dates,
burden and data collection plan do not
change as result of these program
changes. This change request also
includes some nonsubstantive changes
for the May 2024 Maple Syrup Inquiry.
The changes to these surveys will not
affect burden hours.
Need and Use of the Information:
Data reported on fruit, nut, and
specialty crops are used by NASS to
estimate crop acreage, yield, production,
utilization, price, and value in States
with significant commercial production.

These estimates are essential to farmers,

shipping companies, cold storage
facilities and handlers in making
production and marketing decisions.
Estimates from these inquiries are used
by market order administrators in their
determination of expected crop supplies
under Federal and State market orders.

Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 55,435.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Standard Reinsurance
Agreement; Appendices I, II and IV.
OMB Number: 0563–0069.
Type of Request: Renewal and
Revision of current Information
Collection.
Abstract: The Federal Crop Insurance
Act (Act), title 7 U.S.C. chapter 36,
section 1508(k), authorizes the FCIC to
provide reinsurance to insurers
approved by FCIC that insure producers
of any agricultural commodity under
one or more plans acceptable to FCIC.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:24 Mar 08, 2024
Jkt 262001
The Act also states that the reinsurance
shall be provided on such terms and
conditions as the Board may determine
to be consistent with subsections (b) and
(c) of this section and sound reinsurance
principles.
FCIC executes the same form of
reinsurance agreement, called the
Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA),
with thirteen participating insurers
approved for the 2024 reinsurance year.
Appendix I of the SRA, Regulatory
Duties and Responsibilities, sets forth
the company’s responsibilities as
required by statute. Appendix I
includes: (a) Conflict of Interest data
collection, which in addition to the
insurance companies reinsured by FCIC,
encompasses the insurance companies’
employees and their contracted agents
and loss adjusters; and (b) Controlled
Business data collection from all
employed or contracted agents.
Appendix II of the SRA, the Plan of
Operations (Plan), sets forth the
information the insurer is required to
file with RMA for each reinsurance year
they wish to participate. The Plan’s
information enables RMA to evaluate
the insurer’s financial and operational
capability to deliver the crop insurance
program in accordance with the Act.
Estimated premiums by fund by State,
and retained percentages along with
current policyholders surplus are used
in calculations to determine whether to
approve the insurer’s requested
maximum reinsurable premium volume
for the reinsurance year per 7 CFR 400
subpart L. This information has a direct
effect upon the insurer’s amount of
retained premium and associated
liability and is required to calculate the
insurer’s underwriting gain or loss.
Appendix IV of the SRA, Quality
Control and Program Integrity,
establishes the minimum annual agent
and loss adjuster training requirements,
and quality control review procedures
and performance standards required of
the insurance companies. FCIC requires
each insurer to submit, for each
reinsurance year, a Quality Control
Report to FCIC containing details of the
results of their completed reviews. The
insurance companies must also provide
an annual Training and Performance
Evaluation Report which details the
evaluation of each agent and loss
adjuster and reports of any remedial
actions taken by the Company to correct
any error or omission or ensure
compliance with the SRA. The
submission of these reports is included
in Appendix II.
FCIC is requesting the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
extend the approval of this information
collection for an additional 3 years.
