The Department of Agriculture has asked the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review an information collection required under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This request covers the 2017 Wildfires and Hurricanes Indemnity Program (WHIP) and the Quality Loss Adjustment (QLA) Program, which provide financial assistance to producers affected by natural disasters. To receive aid, producers need to fill out and submit specific forms to confirm their eligibility. Public comments on this information collection are welcome until May 28, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Agriculture is asking for comments on some forms farmers need to fill out to get help after big storms and fires. They want to make sure anyone can understand and use these forms to ask for help.
