Abstract:
The Acreage/Crop Reporting Streamlining Initiative (ACRSI) is an initiative to improve and streamline the existing information collection activities currently approved by OMB by eliminating or minimizing the duplication of information collected. The improvements and streamlining will reduce the overall burden on the public, USDA employees, and Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) by eliminating the need for farmers and ranchers to report the same information multiple times and eliminate the need for USDA employees, AIPs and insurance agents to input the same data multiple times, thus reducing USDA administrative and operating costs.

Short Statement:
In the previous approved package, the number of annual responses requested were incorrect. The correct number of responses should have been 751,518 and not the 501,012 that was approved. Had the previous annual responses (751,518) been requested and the agency requesting 750,000 for this package, it would have been clear that there would have been a decrease of 1,518. Because of this error, the annual number of responses has an increase of 248,988 for this package. There is a decrease of 380 annual burden hours.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
