The Department of Agriculture has submitted an information collection request to the OMB for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This request is related to the Acreage/Crop Reporting Streamlining Initiative (ACRSI), which aims to simplify and streamline the collection of acreage and production information for certain USDA programs through a web-based system. The initiative seeks to reduce the burden of information collection by minimizing duplication across agencies and is necessary to ensure producers receive Federal benefits. Public comments on this initiative will be accepted until January 21, 2025.
