DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by January
13, 2023 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Generic Clearance to Conduct Formative Research or
Development of Nutrition Education and Promotion Materials and Related
Tools and Grants for FNS Population Groups.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0524.
Summary of Collection: This information collection is based on
Section 19 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1787), Section
5 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1754)
and Section 11(f) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C.
2020). This request for approval of information collection is necessary
to obtain input into the development of nutrition education
interventions for population groups served by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (USDA-FNS). FNS also uses this
collection to obtain input that can be used to develop and assess
grants. Interventions need to be designed so that they can be delivered
through different types of media and in a variety of formats for
diverse audiences.
Need and Use of the Information: Obtaining formative input and
feedback is fundamental to FNS' success in delivering science-based
nutrition messages and reaching diverse segments of the population in
ways that are meaningful and relevant. This includes conferring with
the target audience, individuals who serve the target audience, and key
stakeholders on the communication strategies and interventions that
will be developed and on the delivery approaches that will be used to
reach consumers. The formative research and testing activities
described will help in the development of effective education and
promotion tools and communication strategies. Collection of this
information will increase FNS' ability to formulate nutrition education
interventions that resonate with the intended target population,
particularly low-income families.
FNS also uses formative input and feedback to determine how best to
develop and assess grants so that grant recipients can successfully
meet their goals under these grants. To do this, FNS confers with grant
recipients to obtain input regarding their experiences, expectations,
challenges, and lessons learned while implementing the grant.
Description of Respondents: Individuals and Households, Businesses
and Organizations, State, Local and/or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 120,710.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP).
OMB Control Number: 0584-0541.
Summary of Collection: This submission is a revision of a currently
approved collection which covers the reporting and recordkeeping burden
associated with the Seniors Farmers'
[[Page 76453]]
Market Nutrition Program, OMB #0584-0541. The Farm Security and Rural
Investment Act of 2002 (the 2002 Farm Bill), Public Law 107-171,
authorized the SFMNP as a competitive grant program beginning Fiscal
Year (FY) 2003 and gave USDA the authority to develop Federal
regulations guiding the administration of the SFMNP. The Agriculture
Improvement Act of 2018, Public Law 115-334 (the 2018 Farm Bill),
provided continued funding for the SFMNP through FY 2023. Federal
regulations governing the SFMNP (7 Code of Federal Regulations, part
249) require that certain program-related information be collected and
that full and complete records concerning SFMNP operations are
maintained. The information reporting and recordkeeping burdens are
necessary to ensure appropriate and efficient management of the SFMNP.
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is used
by USDA to manage, plan, evaluate, make decisions, and report on SFMNP
program operations. FNS uses the information collection to assess how
each SFMNP State agency operates; to ensure regulatory compliance of
State agencies, local agencies, and farmers/farmers' markets/roadside
stands/CSA programs; to make program management decisions; and to
report to Congress as needed.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Governments;
Individuals and Households; Nonprofit Businesses and authorized
outlets.
Number of Respondents: 746,264.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 1,137,363.
