This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The revised burden estimates have decreased from 2,754 to 1,119.54 burden hours, for an overall reduction of -1,634.46 (rounded up to -1,635) burden hours for reporting. There is also a decrease of -74 responses per respondent. The decreases are due to program changes where -1,635 burden hours were merged to the FPRS collection for reporting of the FNS 366A (-684.71 burden hours rounded to -685) and FNS 366B (-950.29 burden hours).Additionally, -26 hours was removed for the one-time only survey for FNS 366 B review of intentional program violation (IPV) study conducted in 2014. Another program change was due to rulemaking for Other Plans and Submissions.
