There is a decrease of 987 burden hours(881 reporting hours and 106 recordkeeping). The decrease is due to the loss and gain of respondents. In addition, an error was made in the last submission on the burden hours to complete the SF 269 and the hours were adjusted downward from 3 hours to one half hour. FNS-777 form will take the place of SF-269.
