This is a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired and is in use without OMB approval. Due to statute, FNS is still legally required to collection this data and thereby continuing to collection in violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The current burden inventory for this collection collected without OMB approval is (9,664) burden hours and (112) total annual responses. FNS is requesting (3,504) burden hours and (65) total annual responses. This reflects -6,160 decrease in the total burden hours and -47 decrease in the total annual response. Information received during the comment period and from consultations with States necessitated the change of original estimates of the time needed by States to complete the required notification reports as well as the number of States that will be required to report major changes. Thus, the total estimated burden hours associated with the Major Change requirements have been revised.
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.
