The minimal information collected will
provide FNS adequate data to award the appropriate grantee and
monitor financial reporting requirements for the Non-competitive
Technology Innovation Grants, which replaces a competitive
Technology Innovation Grant (OMB Control #0584-0512) previously
administered by FNS. FNS expects 60 of 69 eligible State agencies
will choose to participate.
FNS is requesting
emergency clearance for an information collection related to the CN
nTIG. The collection is required to comply with the statute and
needed to distribute funds to States. The FY 2020 funding of $25
million, authorized by the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020, expires September 30, 2021. The State application process and
obligation of funds must be complete by late summer to use these
funds in full by their expiration date. The availability of this
funding to State agencies will provide much needed financial
resources during a time when States have had to take unprecedented
steps to meet the needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
