FPRS facilitates data gathering for
the reporting of data for the Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program (SNAP) and the Special Nutrition Programs. FPRS is the
primary collection point for program performance statistics and
financial data from State agencies (SA), Indian Tribal
Organizations (ITO), and U.S. Territories participating in the
nutrition assistance programs. This information collection pertains
to 20 FNS collections currently approved by OMB The reporting
burdens for these collections will merge with FPRS once approved by
OMB.
FNS is requesting a no
material/non-substantive change to merge the reporting burden
assigned to form FNS-640 from OMB Control #0584-0006, Part 210
-National School Lunch Program” to #0584-0594, “Food Programs
Reporting System (FPRS)”. The current burden for the FNS-640 form
is 140 hours (56 State agencies x 2.5 hours per annual response =
140 hours and 56 additional responses annually). The merge will
increase the current burden and responses for OMB #0584-0594
