SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Customer Data Worksheet Request for Business Partner Record 
Changes.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0265.
    Type of Request: Extension with a revision of currently approved 
information collection.
    Abstract: The information collection is necessary to effectively 
monitor critical producer data changes made in BP at the request of the 
producer to correct or update their information. The form AD-2047, 
Customer Data Worksheet Request for Business Partner Record Change, is 
used to collect the information from the producer to make changes to 
the information in BP. The necessity to monitor critical producer data 
changes in the BP database is a direct result of the OMB Circular A-123 
Remediation/Corrective Action Plan for County Office Operations which 
requires effective internal controls to be in place for Federal 
programs. FSA team was established and reviewed and documented key 
controls related to all material producer accounts. FSA also included 
the analysis on a review of BP.
    The number of respondents increased by 5,179 to account for 
additional customers because of new programs that have been implemented 
since the last OMB approval.
    For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the 
formula used to calculate the total burden hours is the estimated 
average time per response multiplied by the estimated total annual of 
responses.
    Estimated Average Time to Respond: Public reporting burden for 
collection of this information is estimated to average 0.17 hours per 
response.
    Type of Respondents: FSA, NRCS, and RD customers currently residing 
in BP.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 56,926.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 56,926.
    Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.17.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,677.
    We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information 
collection to help us to:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of FSA, including whether the 
information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA's estimate of burden including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
    (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, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    All responses to this notice, including name and addresses when 
provided, will be summarized and included in the request for OMB 
approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.

Acting Administrator, Farm Service Agency.
