FPRS facilitates data gathering for the reporting of data for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program (SNAP) and the Special Nutrition Programs. FPRS is the primary collection point for program performance statistics and financial data from State agencies (SA), Indian Tribal Organizations (ITO), and U.S. Territories participating in the nutrition assistance programs. This information collection pertains to 20 FNS collections currently approved by OMB The reporting burdens for these collections will merge with FPRS once approved by OMB.
The current overall burden inventory for FPRS is 104,184 burden hours and 46, 216 responses annually. This request will add 372 burden hours and no additional responses for a revised burden inventory of 104,556 burden hours and the responses remains unchanged with this revision.
The current burden reported for worksheet FNS 759 is 2,808. The revised requested burden to use the FNS 759 is 3,180.00 a increase of 372 hours due to program changes. In the original approval FNS indicated there were 52 State Agencies (SA). In 2014 Guam began participating in the SNAP-Ed program thereby, increasing in the number of responses from 52 to 53 SAâs since the last approval. Under this revision, fifty-three (53) SAâs submit 1 response annually for a total of 53 annual responses. The annual reporting burden for the form FNSâ759 revision is 53 hours per respondent to complete the form. We are requesting to increase the time per response to 60 hours per respondent. This is an increase of seven (7) burden hours per response from the currently approved time per response. The reporting burden for form FNSâ759 is 3,180 hours (53SA à 1 annual report = 53 total annual responses à 60 hours per response = 3,180).
