Short Statement: This a revision of a currently approved information collection. The currently approved burden estimates for this data collection is 77,690,005 total annual burden hours and 643,938,886 total annual responses. In this revision, FNS is requesting 124,187,297 total annual burden hours and 937,793,285 total annual responses. These adjustments caused an increase which results in a 46,497,292 increase in total burden hours and 293,854,399 total annual burden hours for this information collection. This includes the addition of a set of existing requirements applicable to State agencies and households that were not delineated in previous burden estimates for this information collection. In addition, FNS updated the estimated burden hours per response for several activities in order to account for the full complexity of all requirements. For more details on the burden calculations, see “Appendix E: Burden Table” and “Appendix F: Burden Narrative.”
