Farm Production and Conservation Business Center
Title: FPAC Federal Award Performance Monitoring and Reporting Form.
OMB Control Number: 0565-NEW.
Summary of Collection: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act requirements, the Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is requesting comments from all interested individuals and organizations on a new information collection request for the FPAC Federal Award Performance Monitoring and Reporting Form in support of the implementation of Performance Measurement. This information must be collected with the frequency required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award, but no less frequently than annually and not more frequently than quarterly except in unusual circumstances. The information collection, FPAC Federal Award Performance Monitoring and Reporting Form, will support the FPAC Business Center (BC), Farm Service Agency (FSA), Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA) in obtaining required Federal award performance information from recipients. This form will replace the discontinued “Standard Form (SF) Performance Progress Report” which had previously been used to collect this data.
Need and Use of the Information: This section of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 2 CFR part 200, requires Federal agencies to measure recipients' accomplishments against performance goals and objectives. Performance reporting allows the Federal agency to share lessons learned, improve program outcomes, and foster adoption of promising practices. In addition, performance reporting frequency and content is established to not only allow the Federal awarding agency to understand the recipient progress, but also to facilitate identification of promising practices among recipients and build the evidence upon which the Federal awarding agency's program and performance decisions are made.
FPAC will use the Federal Award Performance Monitoring and Reporting Form to support the implementation of section 301 of 2 CFR part 200, Performance Measurement.
Affected Public: Individual or Household, Private Sectors: Businesses or other for-profits; Farms, Not-for-profits institution, and State, Local and Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting; Other (one-time).
Total Burden Hours: 6,000 hours.
