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.
FNS is requesting a no material/non-substantive change to merge the reporting burden assigned to form FNS-640 from OMB Control #0584-0006, Part 210 -National School Lunch Programâ to #0584-0594, âFood Programs Reporting System (FPRS)â. The current burden for the FNS-640 form is 140 hours (56 State agencies x 2.5 hours per annual response = 140 hours and 56 additional responses annually). The merge will increase the current burden and responses for OMB #0584-0594
