To assist American farmers and needy
people by purchasing commodities and delivering them to State
agencies that, in turn, distribute them to organizations for use in
providing food assistance to those in need.
The revision in burden hours

the upcoming implementation of a new Web Based Supply Change

of WBSCM. We are also requesting 51 hours due to changes in the
certification process created by the final rule Food Distribution

1,079,172.
