information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to

to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by April
12, 2019 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to:
Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office
Building, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are
encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to:
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental

An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Farm Service Agency
Title: Request for Special Priorities Assistance (Agriculture
Priorities and Allocations System (APAS)).
OMB Control Number: 0560-0280.
Summary of Collection: The Request for Special Priorities
Assistance (Agriculture Priorities and Allocations System (APAS))
regulation is promulgated in 7 CFR 789. This information is used to
support the APAS managed by the United States Department of
Agriculture, Farm Service Agency (FSA). The APAS is a program that
supports not only national defense needs (such as food for combat
rations), but also emergency preparedness initiatives by addressing
essential civilian needs (food and food resources) through the placing
of priorities on contracts for items and services or allocating
resources, as necessary and APAS regulation is in 7 CFR 789. Priorities
contracts are required to be given preference over other respective
contracts to ensure timely delivery of an item that has been deemed
necessary only in times of emergency or to promote the U.S. national
defense.
Need and Use of the Information: Information collected on the AD-
2102, Request for Special Priorities Assistance for Emergency
Preparedness form is used to grant a priority rating request on
contract(s) between the government and private parties or between
private parties for the production or delivery of food, food resources
(including livestock, feed and agriculture seed), fertilizer, and farm
equipment. Failure to collect and maintain the data collected on the
form will limit or eliminate USDA's ability to prepare for, respond to,
and conduct emergency recovery actions as a result of an actual or
impending hazard.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 25.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
