the reporting of data for the Special Supplemental Nutrition

burdens for these collections will merge with FPRS once approved by
OMB.
The current overall burden
inventory for FPRS is 103,627 burden hours and 46, 216 responses
annually. This request will add 557 burden hours and no additional
responses for a revised burden inventory of 104,184burden hours and
the responses remains unchanged with this revision. The current
burden is reported for worksheet FNS 366 B is 1,298.50 (this
activity should have been reported as 950 burden hours during this

1,855.00 an increase of 556.50 rounded to 557 due to program
changes. Under this revision, fifty-three (53) SA’s submit 1

of 6.57 burden hours per response from the actual time of 17.93
hours per response. The reporting burden for form FNS–366B is 1,855
hours (53SA × 1 annual report = 53 total annual responses × 35
hours per response = 1,855).
