Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Food Security Status and Well-Being of Nutrition Assistance
Program (NAP) Participants in Puerto Rico.
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: Following Hurricane Maria, Congress
appropriated additional disaster relief funds provided by section 309
of Public Law 115-72 that were distributed through the Nutrition
Assistance Program (NAP) to program participants in Puerto Rico. Under
H.R. 2157, section 105, funds were appropriated for the Secretary of
Agriculture to conduct an independent study, including a survey of NAP
participants, to examine the food security, health status, and well-
being of NAP participants and low-income residents in Puerto Rico.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS is conducting this study to
establish baseline estimates of household food security status in
Puerto Rico. FNS has identified five objectives for this study:
Produce descriptive statistics on key sociodemographic and economic
variables, including household food security, in a representative
sample of Puerto Rico households.
Produce descriptive statistics on key sociodemographic and economic
variables, including household food insecurity, in multiple
representative subsamples in Puerto Rico stratified according to the
following classifications: NAP participants and low-income
nonparticipants, adults aged 60 and older, disability status,
employment status, and educational level.
Produce descriptive statistics for each subsample in Puerto Rico on
key social, geospatial, and other policy-relevant elements of health
and well-being associated with household food security.
Characterize the social context of food insecurity through in-depth
interviews with individuals within the NAP participant and low-income
nonparticipant subgroups. Each interview will ask the individual to
consider the household or family, community and Federal food
assistance, and disaster relief contexts.
Develop a detailed concept/problem map of the systemic factors that
shape the implementation of the NAP program, particularly as a disaster
relief tool. The concept mapping process will include data collection
from key informants with knowledge of one or more of the stages of the
Puerto Rican food and nutrition system: Production, processing,
distribution, acquisition, preparation, consumption, digestion,
transport, and metabolism.
Description of Respondents: Individuals/Households, State, Local,
or Tribal government, Businesses or other for-Profits/Not-for-Profit
Institutions.
Number of Respondents: 12,504.
Frequency of Responses: On Occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 4,994.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
