SUBJECT: Procedure to Update Agent Lists at Farm Service Agency Local Offices


BACKGROUND:

An agent list is available to producers at all Farm Service Agency (FSA) 
local offices.  It is essential that the agent lists are complete and 
up-to-date.  The following procedures have been developed to update agent 
lists at FSA local offices.

ACTION:

A private insurance agent may be included on the agent list for any county 
by providing the FSA local office with a letter from the reinsured company 
stating that the agent is contracted by the company and properly licensed to 
sell multiple peril crop insurance in that state.  Upon receipt of the 
letter, the FSA local office will make a pen-and-ink revision to the agent 
list to include the agent.

If you should have any questions, please contact your Reinsurance Services 
Liaison Branch Account Executive.
