🇬🇧 English

The notice asks the public to comment on USDA’s paperwork request for the Farm Service Agency’s Emergency Relief Program 2022. The program relates to federal disaster relief for agricultural losses caused by events such as droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, floods, freezes, excessive heat, smoke exposure, and other severe weather conditions. Farmers, agricultural producers, and other program applicants may be affected because the information collection supports how USDA administers relief payments. Comments are due by July 27, 2026, and can address whether the requested information is necessary, whether the estimated burden is accurate, and how USDA could reduce paperwork or improve the process.
