Revision to currently approved
information collection burden for the Senior Farmers' Market
Nutrition Program (SFMNP), Annual Financial and Program Report
(Form FNS-683a). SFMNP State agencies use the FNS-683a to report
financial and participant data to FNS as required by Federal
regulations. FNS will use this data for funding and program
management decisions.
This is a revision of a
currently approved collection with 474,273 burden hours and
2,710,756 responses. Based on adjustments due to decreases in the
number of participants and authorized outlets/farmers and the
removal of duplicate reporting burden, FNS estimates that the
burden for this information collection will decrease by 46,993
hours and 302,097 responses. Therefore, FNS estimates that with
this renewal, this information collection will have 427,280 burden
hours and 2,408,659 responses.
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
