The FSCSC information collection request is for the eligible specialty crop operations to provide FSA the information about their eligible expenses to qualify for the payments.
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is requesting OMB approval on the emergency approval of a collection of information necessary to implement the Food Safety Certification for Specialty Crops Program (FSCSC), which will assist specialty crop operations that incurred eligible expenses for 2022 and 2023 food safety certifications. These operations incur significant costs to comply with market-driven food safety certification requirements each year with little opportunity to recover the increased costs.
