SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Transfer of Farm Records between Counties.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0253.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Abstract: Farm owners or operators may request to transfer farm 
records between FSA county offices under certain circumstances, which 
may include:
     A change has occurred in the operation of the land; or
     there has been a change that would cause the receiving 
county office to be more accessible, including, but not limited to, the 
construction of a new highway, relocation of the county office building 
site; or
     when an FSA county office closes.
    FSA County Committees from both the transferring and receiving 
counties must approve or disapprove all proposed farm record transfers. 
If the FSA County Committee is not able to approve the request based on 
one of the criteria in 7 CFR 718.8(e), then the State Committee would 
need to submit an exception request to the Deputy Administrator for 
Farm Programs.
    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 
responses.
    The estimate of the average time to respond includes the estimate 
for the time to collect and provide the information, including travel 
time to the local FSA county office. Public reporting burden for 
collecting information under this notice is estimated to average 10 
minutes per response (0.167 hours), including the time for reviewing 
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. The average travel time, which is included 
in the total annual burden, is estimated to be 1 hour per respondent. 
Therefore, the total estimate of the average time to respond is 1.167 
hours.
    Type of Respondents: Owners and operators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 21,240.
    Estimated Average Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 21,240.
    Estimated Average Time per Response: 1.167.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 24,780 hours.
    We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information 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

[[Page 27038]]

proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information 
from those who are to respond, including 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 when provided, will be a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the submission for Office 
of Management and Budget Approval.

Acting Administrator, Farm Service Agency.
