Changing Forms
Short Statement:
The total burden hours will decrease by 18,882 burden hours (67,610 hours minus 48,788 hours). The program change is due to consolidation of multiple tracts and practices on new forms, FSA-848, 848A, and FSA-848B, CCC-901 and CCC-902I and continuation sheets; elimination of use of CCC-526 and FSA-849; and reduction in use of AD-245, AD-245B, and FSA-18. The total annual responses has increased by 60,040 (150820-90,780) because eligibility forms that have (2008 Farm Bill) exemptions under other FSA programs must be listed for ECP, including the CCC-901 and CCC-902-I. Additionally, producers' acknowledgements (FSA-848A) were added after approval to ensure that the producers are aware of differences between amounts requested and amounts approved.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$596,883
