Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Written comments must be received on or before March 23, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description of Information Collection Request

Title: OFFICE OF URBAN AGRICULTURE AND INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION (OUAIP) GRANT AGREEMENT.

OMB Number: 0578-0032.

Expiration Date: 02/28/2026.

Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the FPAC mission area and NRCS to award competitive grants to local units of government, school districts, and tribal communities to support the development of urban agriculture and innovative production with the goal of improving access to local foods in areas where access to fresh, healthy food is limited or unavailable. This collection enables program staff to collect data in a unified format across projects—no new information is being collected outside of requisite grants.gov forms and one custom form for programmatic reporting (NRCS-OUAIP-1). The reporting form simply provides standardization in order to better determine program efficacy and efficiency.

This revision reflects both a decrease in the number of estimated respondents and estimated annual burden hours, as well as an increase in the estimated number of annual responses since the last OMB submission. These changes are the result of both program changes (correction of tabulation errors and recalculation of review/data entry processes) and program adjustments (reduction in new agreements and funding opportunities).

Affected Public: Private Sector—not-for-profit and farms and State, Local or Tribal Governments.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.

Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 18.

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 1,800.

Estimated Time per Response: 0.222222 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 400 hours.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions that were used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Chief, Natural Resources Conservation Service.
