Title: Application for Payment of Amounts Due Persons Who Have
Died, Disappeared, or Have Been Declared Incompetent.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0026.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2013.
Type of Request: Extension.
Abstract: Persons desiring to claim payments earned, but not yet
paid to a person who has died, disappeared, or has been declared
incompetent must complete a form FSA-325, Application for Payment of
Amounts Due Persons Who Have Died, Disappeared, or Have Been Declared
Incompetent. This information is used by FSA county office employees to
document the relationship of heirs, beneficiaries or others who claim
payment that was earned, but not yet paid to the person who died,
disappeared, or who has been declared incompetent, and to determine the
order of precedence for disbursing payments to such persons.
Information is obtained only when a person claims that they are due
a payment that was earned, but not paid to a producer that has died,
disappeared, or has been declared incompetent, and documentation is
needed to determine if any individuals are entitled to receive such
payments or disbursements.
Estimated Average Time to Respond: Public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 1.5 hours (30
minutes) per response. The average travel time, which is included in
the total annual burden, is estimated to be 1 hour per respondent.
Type of Respondents: Producers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 2,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,000.
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;
(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.
Signed on June 18, 2013.
