Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved data collection associated with rulemaking The current burden inventory is 64,542.80. The revised OMB inventory for the reporting and recordkeeping burdens associated with the FNS-380-1 is 59,450.33 annual burden hours. This program adjustment reflects a decrease of 5,092.47 hours. This difference is primarily a result of the decrease in the overall active household caseload sample reported where the number of completed reviews went down from 59,831 to 55,067 since our last collection revision. The current total number of responses is 119,662 for reporting and recordkeeping and the revised total annual responses are 110,134. This program adjustment reflects a decrease of 9,528 responses which is also due to the same active household caseload samples.
