    Summary of Collection: Section 1526 of the Food and Agriculture Act

Regulation 4230-1 requires documentation of service performed without 
compensation by persons who do not receive Federal appointment. For 
this requirement, the information collection request is necessary to 
continue implementation of the programs, which allows the Farm Service 
Agency (FSA) and Risk Management Agency (RMA) to use volunteers to 
perform a wide range of activities to carry out the programs of or 
supported by the Agency.
    Need and Use of the Information: Applicants who are accepted in the 
program will complete the ``Service Agreement and Attendance Record.'' 
FSA and RMA will use the reported information to respond to request for 
information on volunteers from the USDA Office of Human Resources 
Management. If the information were not collected for each volunteer, 
FSA and RMA would be unable to document service performed without 
compensation by persons in the program if this information were not 
collected for each volunteer.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 20.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 30.
