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.

Abstract: We are requesting comments on the burden for ongoing progress reporting. In general, reporting for the Advancing Markets for Producers grants will follow the guidelines included in the General Terms and Conditions, which are available at the following website: https://www.fpacbc.usda.gov/​about/​grants-and-agreements/​award-terms-and-conditions/​index.html.

Partners are required to submit progress reports after the first quarter and at least twice a year on the project, including the following information:

• Participating producers and landowners;
• Conservation practices applied;
• Outreach and training;
• Financial assistance for producers or landowners to implement conservation practices;
• Benefits associated with the implementation of conservation practices;
• Marketing and outreach related to commodities as a result of project activities; ( printed page 5885)
• Technical assistance and resources are provided, especially to help producers overcome barriers to adopting conservation practices;
• Partnerships developed and leveraged, including public-private partnerships to foster and develop commodity markets; and
• Commodity supply chain and demand impacts, as well as other economic benefits. Certain reporting elements may be required to be georeferenced (geospatially referenced).

For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated average time per responses, in hours, multiplied by the estimated total annual responses.

Estimate of Annual Burden: Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 10.5 hours per response.

Respondents: Advancing Markets for Producers Awardees.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 125.

Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.

Estimated Average Time per Response: 17 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,250 hours.

We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information collection to help us:

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the information technology; and

(4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who respond 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 where provided, will be made a matter of public record. Comments will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval of the information collection.
