Abstract: The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill, Pub L. 115-334) authorized the Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) mission area and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to award competitive grants to local units of government, school districts, and tribal communities to support the development of urban agriculture and innovative production with the goal of improving access to local foods in areas where access to fresh, healthy food is limited or unavailable.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The agency is seeking a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection request. The current burden inventory is 897 estimated annual respondents; 897 estimated annual responses; and 6773 estimated annual burden hours. The reinstatement request is seeking 100 estimated annual respondents; 1,300 estimated annual responses; and 300 estimated annual burden hours. This reflects a decrease in the number of estimated respondents (-797), an estimated increase in annual responses (403), as well as a decrease in the estimated number of annual burden hours (-6473) since the last OMB submission. These changes are the result of both: Program changes: • correction of tabulation errors and recalculation of review/data entry processes. Adjustments • reduction in new agreements and funding opportunities.
