Fifty-three (53) SA’s submit 1 response annually for a total of 53 annual responses. The current annual reporting burden for form FNS–759 report is 53 hours per respondent to complete the form. Due to the modifications to FNS-759, the burden hours have been increased to 60 hours per respondent for (53x1=53x 60 = 3180. The reporting burden we are requesting for form FNS–759 alone is 3,180 hours (53SA × 1 annual report = 53 total annual responses × 60 hours per response = 3,180).
