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 March
19, 2026 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

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
different 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 different segments of the population in
ways that are meaningful and relevant. This includes conferring with
target audiences, individuals who serve the target audiences, and key
stakeholders on the communication strategies and interventions that
will be developed and on the delivery approaches that will be used to
reach customers. 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
achieve the intented outcomes of the grants. To this end, 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.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 46,823.
