Abstract: FSA is using the FSA-500 Data on Nonresident Applicants, to verify each applicant's citizenship, if applications for payments are filed by or for applicants who reside outside the United States, its territories or possessions, even if the application is filed by an agent of the applicant whose address is in the United States. County office employees provide the FSA-500 to the nonresident applicants or agents to complete the form. The FSA-500 request the applicant's name, address, United States citizenship and signature of applicant or authorized agent. The completed returned form will be filed at the County office. The data collected on the FSA-500 will assist with ensuring foreign taxes are collected and reported to the IRS.
The formula used to calculate the total burden hour is estimated average time per responses hours times total annual responses.

We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information collection to help us to:

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA's estimate of burden including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected;
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
