Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

July 1, 2015.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
regarding (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by August 
7, 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, 725-17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are 
encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental 
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-
7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-
8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Farm Service Agency

    Title: Debt Settlement Policies and Procedures.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0146.
    Summary of Collection: The Federal Claims Collection Standards 
provides at 4 CFR 102, that whenever feasible, debts owed to the United 
States should be collected in full in one lump sum. The Debt Collection 
Improvement Act (DCIA) of 1996 further emphasizes, as one of its goals, 
to maximize collections of delinquent debt owed to the Government, by 
ensuring quick action is taken to enforce recovery of debts and the use 
of all appropriate collection tools, while ensuring that the public is 
fully informed of the Federal Government's debt collection policies and 
the debtors are fully cognizant of their financial obligations to repay 
amounts owed to the Federal Government. Provisions under the Federal 
Claims Collection Standards and the DCIA allow the debtor upon 
receiving a notification letter and unable to pay debt owed to the 
Federal Government in one lump sum, to forward a written request and 
financial statement to Farm Service Administration (FSA) and Commodity 
Credit Corporation (CCC) for establishing an agreed repayment plan in 
the promissory note using form CCC-279, Promissory Note.
    Need and Use of the Information: When a debtor requests to enter 
into an installment agreement to settle their debt, FSA will collect 
information on the debtor's assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 
Based on that information a determination can be made on whether the 
debtor can pay the debt in one lump sum or an installment is necessary. 
Without this financial information FSA/CCC would have no method of 
allowing debtor's to pay their debts in installments while still 
ensuring that the government's financial interests are protected.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 100.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 200.
