Short Statement:
This is a revision of the currently approved collection for OMB Number 0584-0613 Special Nutrition Programs Quick Response Surveys. This information collection is currently approved with 42,534 burden hours and 362,257 responses over three years. This revision makes some changes to the information collection as previously approved. SNAP, Summer EBT, Team Nutrition, and the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Program have been added as separate programs, thereby expanding it to all current FNS programs. The type of information to be collected and the methods of collection will remain broadly the same. In this revision, FNS has changed the way we account for burden on respondents. Previously, we requested burden for exactly one survey and sample frame collection per program per year at the state and local levels. This had several downsides. First, it overestimated the burden of the clearance itself on many respondent groups, as some programs are surveyed more commonly than others. Despite adding more programs covered by the generic ICR, this update reduces the estimate of three-year burden from the previously approved 42,434 burden hours across 362,257 responses to 27,406 burden hours across 117,756 responses, a more realistic figure based on over six years of experience with the QRS generic clearance. Second, the previously approved clearance reduced flexibility for FNS to perform multiple surveys for a given program when there were significant policy or operational needs. In making these revisions, we still take steps to ensure that a given individual respondent receives no more than three surveys about the same program each year, with an average of one per program per year expected. Even this estimate is a high upper-bound but is a more realistic estimate than under previous clearances.
