Terms of Clearance: In response to terms of clearance set in November of 1997, FSA states in the current submission that it has no plans to eliminate the voluntary submission of acreage reports. The agency has been told several times over the last 18 months that such a collection fails to meet the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The agency has not shown that the voluntary information collected serves either a program or policy need. In its next submission to OMB, the agency shall provide to OMB details on the elimination of the collection of voluntary acreage reports, as described in the November terms of clearance.

Abstract: FSA requires that producers report acreage for crops that need verification of compliance, loan eligibility, or crop loss.
