This is a revision of a
currently approved information collection. The current burden
inventory is 5,902,995. We are requesting 7,032,870 which is an
increase of 1,129,875 hours. The increase in burden hours is the
result of regulatory provisions included in the information
collection that were not included in previous renewals and there
were also adjustments made in the frequency of reporting and
recordkeeping requirements. In addition, FNS plans to merge OMB
#0584-0078, Report of the Child and Adult Care Food Program, FNS-44
form into this collection. There are 1,980 burden hours in this
inventory; however, we plan to merge only 1,320 because the burden
in 0584-0078 was overestimated.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
