This is a revision of a
currently approved information collection. The currently approved
burden is 6,631 burden hours and 3,469 responses. There are
reductions due to both program changes and adjustments. The removal
of FNS-74 Federal-State Agreement and its associated burden due to
it being a permanent record will reduce 25 burden hours and 150
responses due to a program change. There is one fewer State agency
respondent for this collection which will reduce 55 burden hours
and 28 responses due to an adjustment. Overall, these changes will
reduce the burden by 80 burden hours and 178 responses. As a result
of this renewal, FNS estimates that this collection will have 6,551
burden hours and 3,291 responses.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
