Short Statement:
This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The burden previously associated with Farmer Applications & Agreements (249.10b) and Certification data for seniors (249.6) was previously based upon the State Agency burden and not the burden for these respective respondent types. A program change of -7,825 hours has been made to revise burden specific to the Farms and Individuals/Households to correct this error. The addition of responses to correct this error results in a net increase of 775,824 responses. The number of respondents decreased from 970,142 to 905,669, a difference of 64,473, which is partially due to a decrease in recipients and partly due to a correction in the method of counting respondents since the last submission. While the number of State agencies increased from 49 to 51, several SFMNP State agencies reported a decrease in the number of participants served and the number of authorized outlets/vendors. This decrease was due in part to the nationwide economic downturn and resultant decreases in State funding. This results in a reduction of -15,680 hours to account for these adjustments. This revision will subtract 23,505 hours from the OMB burden inventory due to the aforementioned program changes (-7,825) and adjustments (-15,680).
