Abstract: Persons desiring to claim payment due a person who has
died, disappeared, or has been declared incompetent must complete a
form FSA-325 of 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 or beneficiaries and determine the order of precedence for
disbursing payments to survivors of the person who has died,
disappeared, or been declared incompetent.
Information is obtained only when a producer eligible to receive a
payment or disbursement dies, disappears, or is declared incompetent,
and documentation is needed to determine if any survivors 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 .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 and 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 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.
Signed at Washington, DC, on June 3, 2010.
