Short Statement: The current burden inventory is 22,000 estimated annual respondents: 37,400 estimated annual responses and 25,652 estimated annual burden hours. With this revision the agency is seeking 2,500 estimated annual respondents, 3,500 estimated annual responses and 2,650 estimated annual burden hours. This reflects a decrease in the number of estimated respondents 19,500, decrease in the estimated number of responses -33,900 and a decrease in the number of estimated annual burden hours -23,002 since the last OMB submission. The estimated number of respondents and burden hours have been updated to reflect a reduction in applicants based on prior year program participation. The burden hours have also been reduced due to removal of the burden hours associated with CCC-860, Socially Disadvantaged, Limited Resource, Beginning and Veteran Farmer or Rancher Certification, because this form is not used for FSCSC for the 2024 and 2025 program years.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $96,050
