This collection
is approved for two years, consistent with revisions to the burden
estimate to account for the availability of a PDF version of
FNS-583. Upon resubmission, FNS will report to OMB on the status of
its web-based system (to replace FSPIIS). Current FNS estimates
indicate that a pilot version should be ready around June 2004, and
the system should be online for use June 2005. While these are
rough estimates, significant progress on this project is expected
by next submission.
