    Title: Request for Aerial Photography.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0176.
    Expiration Date: November 30, 2015.
    Type of Request: Extension of a Currently Approved Information 
Collection.
    Abstract: The information collection is needed to enable the 
Department of Agriculture to effectively administer the Aerial 
Photography Program. APFO has the responsibility for conducting and 
coordinating the FSA's aerial photography, remote sensing programs, and 
the aerial photography flying contract programs. The digital and film 
imagery secured by FSA is public domain and reproductions of such 
imagery are available at cost to any customer with a need. All receipts 
from the sale of aerial photography products and services are retained 
by FSA. The FSA-441, Request for Aerial Photography, is the form FSA 
supplies to the customers for placing an order for aerial imagery 
products and services. There are no changes to the burden hours since 
the last OMB submission.
    The formula used to calculate the total burden hour is estimated 
average time per responses hours times total annual responses.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this information 
collection is estimated to average 19 minutes hours per response. The 
average travel time, which is included in the total burden, is 
estimated to be 1 hour per respondent.
    Respondents: Farmers, Ranchers and other USDA customers who wish to 
purchase imagery products and services.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,120.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses. 12,120.
    Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.32.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours on Respondents: 3,770 hours.
    We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information 
collection to help us to:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the collection of information including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used;
    (3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
technology; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who 
respond through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.
    All comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses where provided, will be made a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the request for OMB 
approval of the information collection.
