Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: FSA merged the information collection of EZ Guarantee Program and MLP request (0560-0288) with this information collection, as a result of the merger, the burden hours and responses did not increase. There were a few decreases that more than offset the merged-in burden. The decreases are the result of an error that resulted in a miscalculation of the collection, and the number of farmers applying for Guaranteed Loan Program decreased by 1,790 from three years ago. Thus, there are decreases of -22,259 responses and -33,259 burden hours in this request.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $9,084,600
