SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Area Risk Protection Insurance.
    OMB Number: 0563-0083.
    Expiration Date of Approval: March 31, 2017.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: The information collection requirements for this renewal 
package are necessary to administer the Area Risk Protection Insurance 
(ARPI) Basic Provisions and affected Crop Provisions to determine 
insurance coverage, premiums, subsidies, payments and indemnities. ARPI 
is an insurance plan that provides coverage based on the experience of 
an entire county. Producers are required to report specific data when 
they apply for ARPI such as acreage and yields. Insurance companies 
accept applications; issue policies; establish and provide insurance 
coverage; compute liability, premium, subsidies, and losses; indemnify 
producers; and report specific data to FCIC as required in Appendix 
III/M13 Handbook. Commodities for which ARPI is available are included 
in this information collection package.
    FCIC is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to 
extend the approval of this information collection for an additional 3 
years.
    The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public 
concerning this information collection. These comments will help us:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information has practical utility;
    (2) evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information;
    (3) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond (such as through the use

[[Page 64430]]

of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other forms of 
information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses).
    Estimate of Burden: The public reporting burden for this collection 
of information is estimated to average 0.65 of an hour per response.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Producers and insurance providers 
reinsured by FCIC.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 25,432.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 5.9.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 150,173.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 98,332.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of 
public record.

    Signed in Washington, DC, on September 14, 2016.

Acting Manager, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
