Summer Food for Children Evaluation
demonstration projects will develop and test methods of providing
access to food for low-income children in urban and rural areas
during the summer months when schools are not in regular session,
as well as a rigorous independent evaluation of the projects
regarding their effectiveness.
This is a revision collection
of information. The current OMB burden inventory is 34,774. FNS is
requesting 15.5 burden hours for this revised information
collection request. This is a decrease of -34,758.5 burden hours as
a result of program changes. In addition there is a decrease in the
estimated total annual responses. The currently approved responses
for this collection are 83,672 estimated total annual responses;
with this revision, we are seeking approval for estimated total
annual responses of 18. This will reflects a decrease of -83,654
total annual responses. These decreases are primarily due to the
removal of individuals and households (I/H) that will not
participate in this phase of the information collection request.
There were 41,233 I/H respondents and non-respondents included in
the prior clearance; again, there will be no re-contact with that
affected public in this information collection request. Therefore,
this is a decrease of -41,233 I/H respondents. There are also
decreases to SA/SFA, 62 participated in the current collection and
13 will be contacted for this request. This program change reflects
a decrease of -49 SA/SFA. The other affected public Business' also
decreased. The current number of Business that participated in the
current approval was 87; this phase seeks to contact 5, a decrease
of -82 Business respondents. Consequently these program changes
reflect a significant decrease in burden hours.
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
