This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The currently approved information collection burden is 38 total burden hours and 270 total annual responses. In this revision, we are requesting 1,083 total burden hours and 3,430 total annual responses and increase of 1,045 total burden hours and 3,160 total annual responses. The information collection burden estimates have increased due to two adjustments. The previously approved collection incorrectly assessed that each State agency submitted 1 request each for FNS 700. In the burden chart above, we have adjusted this submission to reflect the frequency expected and the total annual responses for Option 1 and Option 2 for reporting this activity to FNS.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
