Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved information collection. The currently approved burden is 123,864 total annual responses and 19,887 total annual burden hours. This request reflects a decrease of -1,021 total annual responses and a increase of 29,413 total annual burden hours. We expect program participation to increase, but because the previous submission double-counted respondents in who self-register for a Level 1 access account through the USDA eAuthentication system and respondents who receive store visits, the total number of respondents appears to decrease compared to the last submission. If the last submission had not double-counted respondents, it would have estimated a total of 53,731 annually, and FNS projects an increase of about 2,000 respondents to 55,708 annually (adjustment). FNS projects that the estimated hours per response will increase from 0.16 hours (9.6 minutes) to .40 hours (23.7 minutes) due to adjustments. FNS has increased the estimated hours per response for store visits from 1 minute to 10 minutes and the estimated hours per response for the FNS-252-E, FNS-252-FE, and FNS-252-2 from 15 minutes to one hour. These adjustments more accurately estimate the response burden.
