State Agencies	Bi-weekly EA Reporting to FNS	FNS-292B*	Ragland-Greene, Rachelle - FNS: verify with FPRS approval and modify to account for increases…see comments in SS - It appears the frequency for FNS 292B, did the program published a separate 60dayFRN to decrease the respondents to 53 States, increase the burden hours from 23.10 & increase the frequency to bi-weekly for the use of this instrument? FPRS collection has 55 States for FNS 292A and 55 States for FNS 292B for a total of 110 State respondents with the frequency of 0.5 and total annual responses at 55, the hours per 0.4 is consistent with the FPRS approval however the burden hours is extremely low at 23.10 annual burden hours, the program should increase the hours through FPRS – the agency may be able to do it here by explaining in the narrative the oversight & showing what is currently on the books for this inventory and then show the amount needed to cover and add to the 551 needed for this revision. hourly wage rate in the FPRS collection for this form is denoted as $27.22 – reviewers will want to know why there is a decrease in wage rate 53	26	1,378	26	0.4	551.20	$27.22	$15,003.66	$19,954.87
