program that currently operates through 1862 and 1890 Land-Grant 
Universities in every state, the District of Columbia, and the six U.S.

EFNEP combines hands-on learning, applied science, and program data to 
ensure program effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability. The 
evaluation processes of EFNEP remain consistent with the requirements 
of Congressional legislation and OMB and supports the reporting 
requirements requested in the Government Performance and Results Act of 
1993 (GPRA) (Pub. L. 103-62), the Federal Activities Inventory Reform 
Act of 1998 (FAIR Act) (Pub. L. 105-270), and the Agricultural, 
Research, Extension and Education Reform Act of 1998 AREERA) (Pub. L.

Education Evaluation and Reporting System (WebNEERS), which is an 
integrated database system that stores information on: (1) programmatic 
results: (A) adult program participants, their family structure and 
dietary practices; (B) youth group participants; and (C) staff; and (2) 
programmatic plans (D) annual budget; and (E) annual program plans. 
NIFA would be unable to compare, assess, and analyze the effectiveness 
and the impact of EFNEP without the annual collection of data.
    Description of Respondents: State, local or Tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 76.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 14,744.
