Corporation (FCIC) to provide reinsurance to approved insurance
providers who insure producers of any agricultural commodity under one

of delivering the crop insurance program and for evaluating the
insurer's performance regarding implementation of procedures for
training and quality control. If the information were not collected,
FCIC would not be able to reinsure the crop business.
