    Comments regarding this information collection received by May 18, 
2015 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office Building,

Farm Service Agency

    Title: Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0175.
    Summary of Collection: The Noninsured Crop Assistance Program (NAP) 
is authorized under 7 U.S.C. 7333 and implemented under regulations 
issued at 7 CFR part 1437. NAP is administered by the Farm Service 
Agency (FSA) for the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and is carried 
out by FSA State and County committees. The purpose of NAP is to help 
manage and reduce production risks faced by producers of eligible 
commercial crops or other agricultural commodities during a coverage 
period. NAP is intended to reduce financial losses that occur when 
natural disasters (damaging weather or adverse natural occurrence that 
is an eligible cause of loss) cause a loss of expected production or 
actual value for value loss crops, or where producers are prevented 
from planting an eligible crop because of an eligible cause of loss in 
a coverage period. NAP provides assistance for losses of floriculture, 
ornamental nursery, Christmas tree crops, turfgrass sod, seed crops, 
aquaculture (including ornamental fish), sea oats and sea grass. FSA 
will collect information using several forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is 
necessary to determine whether a producer and crop or commodity meet 
applicable conditions for assistance and to determine compliance with 
existing regulations. Producers must annually: (1) Request NAP coverage 
by completing an application for coverage and paying a service fee by 
the CCC-established application closing date; (2) file a current crop-
year report of acreage for the covered crop or commodity; and (3) 
certify harvest production of each covered crop or commodity. The 
information collected allows CCC to provide assistance under NAP for 
losses of commercial crops or other agricultural commodities (except 
livestock) for which catastrophic risk protection under 7 U.S.C. 
Section 1508 is not available, and that are produced for food or fiber.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 72,294.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 
Weekly; Monthly; Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 847,425.
