SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), this notice announces the intention 
of Office of the Chief Financial Officer to request approval for an 
extension and revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Supplier Credit Audit Recovery.
    OMB Number: 0505-0026.
    Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 2016.
    Type of Request: Extension and revision of a currently approved 
information collection.
    Abstract: The Department of Agriculture (USDA) believes that there 
are many program recipients and service providers who may be carrying a 
credit balance in their financial records due to possible overpayments. 
Three years ago, the USDA implemented a Supplier Credit Recovery Audit 
Program. The Supplier Credit Recovery Audit contractor sends out a 
letter to USDA vendors on an annual basis requesting account and 
payment information as to whether the vendor currently has a credit on 
their books due back to the USDA.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 2 hours per response.
    Respondents: Vendors, contractors, program recipients, and any 
entity receiving funds from USDA.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,299.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 24,598 hours.
    Comments are invited on: (1) 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) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology. Comments may be sent to Aaron Prose, U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, 
Fiscal Policy Division, Room 3417, 1400 Independence Avenue SW., 
Washington, DC 20250. All comments received will be available for 
public inspection during regular business hours at the same address.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the 
request for the Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments 
will become a matter of public record.

Director, Fiscal Policy Division.
