This information
collection had been approved through 10/31/00; however, a revision
was submitted by FNS on 8/30/99 that was withdrawn by FNS on
01/13/00. In completing this transaction, the desk officer
processed it as a withdrawl rather than as a withdraw and continue.
In consideration of this error, OMB is granting emergency approval
of this request, and is making this approval effective 01/14/00.
FNS will submit a revision of this collection through the normal
channels, which reflects changes made in FNS regulations in
accordance with PRWORA.
