Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The current OMB burden inventory for the FNS-543 is 160 burden hours and 655 total annual responses. FNS is requesting 50 burden hours and 600 total annual responses for this revision. FNS plans to remove the burden for FNS-543 A, which reflects a decrease of -60 burden hours and a decrease of -55 total annual responses. This program change is due to the removal of FNS-543 A which reflects a decreased number of expected respondents, total annual responses and burden estimates. There is also a -50 burden hours adjustment which reflects a decrease due to erroneous burden estimates calculated in ROCIS.
