Short Statement: This is a revision to the currently approved information collection. FNS is requesting a 3-year total generic burden of 150,000 hours and 30,000 responses. This is an increase of 26,097 hours and 25,239 responses. There were additional grant programs added to the collection activities in FY 2015. This occurred because of new programs included in authorizing Program legislation. Additionally, FNS added responses to account for the use of USDA and standard forms (this resulted in a significant increase to the number of responses requested). Of the 150,000 hours requested, 40,640 are used for ICs submitted with this clearance, leaving 109,360 hours (and 20,205 responses).
