Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved information collection. This information collection is currently approved with 23,661 burden hours and 18,434 responses. With this revision, FNS is requesting 929,211 burden hours for an overall increase of 905,550 burden hours due to program changes. We are also requesting 4,968,338 total annual responses and increase of 4,949,904. Many of the program changes include FMNP reporting and record-keeping burden requirements and those hours associated with those requirements that were previously reported under the WIC burden, OMB Control Number 0584-0043, 8/31/2020. The burden estimate reflects changes in the incorporation of FMNP data under this revision of the FMNP burden. Under this revision, and future revisions, FMNP data that was previously reported under the WIC burden will be reported under the FMNP burden hours. The number of State agencies has increased from 47 to 49.
