Short Statement: This is a reinstatement with change of a previously approved information collection, currently in use without OMB approval. This collection was previously approved with 12,277,204 total annual responses and 252,432 total burden hours. We are requesting 10,455,713.40 (10,455,713) total annual responses and 521,719.02 (521,719) total burden hours. This is a decrease of 1,821,491 total annual responses and an increase of 269,287.02 (269,287) total burden hours. This is due to a revision of estimates based on current data, and the removal of burden associated with the Program Activity Statement FNS 366B, resulting in a decrease of 1,855 burden hours and 53 total annual responses from the overall total. The overall decrease in this collection is due to a program change where estimates were updated and the Program Activity Statement (FNS 366B) was merged with OMB# 0584-0594 (Exp. 07/31/2023).
