    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are required regarding; whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by November 
15, 2024 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information

Farm Production and Conservation Business Center

    Title: FPAC Federal Award Performance Monitoring and Reporting 
Form.
    OMB Control Number: 0565-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act requirements, the Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is 
requesting comments from all interested individuals and organizations 
on a new information collection request for the FPAC Federal Award 
Performance Monitoring and Reporting Form in support of the 
implementation of Performance Measurement. This information must be 
collected with the frequency required by the terms and conditions of 
the Federal award, but no less frequently than annually and not more 
frequently than quarterly except in unusual circumstances. The 
information collection, FPAC Federal Award Performance Monitoring and 
Reporting Form, will support the FPAC Business Center (BC), Farm 
Service Agency (FSA), Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), Natural 
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA) 
in obtaining required Federal award performance information from 
recipients. This form will replace the discontinued ``Standard Form 
(SF) Performance Progress Report'' which had previously been used to 
collect this data.
    Need and Use of the Information: This section of the Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements 
for Federal Awards, 2 CFR part 200, requires Federal agencies to 
measure recipients' accomplishments against performance goals and 
objectives. Performance reporting allows the Federal agency to share 
lessons learned, improve program outcomes, and foster adoption of 
promising practices. In addition, performance reporting frequency and 
content is established to not only allow the Federal awarding agency to 
understand the recipient progress, but also to facilitate 
identification of promising practices among recipients and build the 
evidence upon which the Federal awarding agency's program and 
performance decisions are made.
    FPAC will use the Federal Award Performance Monitoring and 
Reporting Form to support the implementation of section 301 of 2 CFR 
part 200, Performance Measurement.
    Affected Public: Individual or Household, Private Sectors: 
Businesses or other for-profits; Farms, Not-for-profits institution, 
and State, Local and Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting; Other (one-time).
    Total Burden Hours: 6,000 hours.
