Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Increase in burden hours of 688,273 hours is due to program changes resulting from the addition of existing programmatic requirements related to the activities that authorized outlets need to perform in order to participate in the Program and the maintenance of records and systems by State and local agencies that are being included in this ICR for the first time. Although FNS expects an increase in the number of State agencies administering SFMNP, this increase will be offset by a decrease in the number of SFMNP participants, local agencies and authorized outlets participating in the program. Therefore, FNS estimates that there will be a decrease of 148,177 total annual responses resulting from these adjustments. The total estimated burden hours will increase from 449,090 to 1,137,363. The revisions increased the approved reporting burden by 715,409 hours and decreased the approved recordkeeping burden by 27,136 hours.
