Census Bureau
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; 2025 National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey
(FoodAPS) Pilot Test
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. This notice allows for 30 days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce.
Title: 2025 National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey
(FoodAPS) Pilot Test.
Form Number(s): None. All information will be collected
electronically.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Number of Respondents: 5,000.
Average Hours per Response: 49 minutes.
Burden Hours: 4,092.
Needs and Uses: The National Household Food Acquisition and
Purchase Survey (FoodAPS) fills a critical data gap and supports
research that informs policymaking on key national priorities,
including health and obesity, hunger, and nutrition assistance policy.
The survey captures unique and comprehensive data about household food
purchases and acquisitions, along with factors that influence household
food choices.
The Census Bureau plans to request Office or Management and Budget
(OMB) approval to conduct the 2025 FoodAPS Pilot Test is to examine and
gain knowledge about all areas of the survey life cycle for this study,
with the goal of fielding a full scale, nationally representative
FoodAPS survey starting in CY2027. Additionally, the 2025 FoodAPS Pilot
Test will test the feasibility of using model-based estimates to
identify populations of interests. Previous iterations used a mailing-
based screener. Another purpose is to determine whether administering
the 2025 FoodAPS Pilot Test via self-response only can achieve the
desired response rate. Previous versions of the FoodAPS used field
representatives to solicit respondent participation and collect data.
The target populations for the 2025 FoodAPS Pilot Test are
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants; Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC) recipients; and low-income households.
Respondent materials and survey instruments for the 2025 FoodAPS Pilot
Test will be available in English and Spanish.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: This is a pilot survey in preparation for a full survey
in CY2027.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: The National Household Food Study is authorized
under Title 7, Section 3171 and 2026 (a) (1) of the United States Code.
The Census Bureau, conducting this study for the United States
Department of Agriculture under 13 U.S.C. 8(b), is required by law to
keep your information confidential and can use your responses for
statistical purposes only (Title 13, U.S. Code, Section 9). Responding
