To maintain and further develop the
National Hunger Clearinghouse (NHC). NHC database information is
updated yearly through the use of the simple database forms FNS 543
and 543-A.
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.
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;
