This collection is approved for two years, consistent with revisions to the burden estimate to account for the availability of a PDF version of FNS-583. Upon resubmission, FNS will report to OMB on the status of its web-based system (to replace FSPIIS). Current FNS estimates indicate that a pilot version should be ready around June 2004, and the system should be online for use June 2005. While these are rough estimates, significant progress on this project is expected by next submission.
