Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This information collection is currently approved with 4,099 burden hours and 12,339 responses. Due to program changes resulting from using fewer pre-test participants and reduced burden because states no longer need to provide SFA director contact information in response to an e-mail notification, FNS estimates that the burden hours and responses will be reduced by 26 hours and 2 responses, respectively. With this revision, FNS estimates that this information collection will have 4,073 burden hours and 12,337 responses.
