    Title: Food Stamp Nutrition Connection Resource Sharing Form.
    OMB Control Number: 0518-0031.
    Summary of Collection: In 2001, the United States Department of 
Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) established the Food 
Stamp Nutrition Connection to improve access to Food Stamp Program 
nutrition resources. The National Agricultural Library's Food and 
Nutrition Information Center (FNIC) currently develops and maintains 
this resource system. The voluntary ``Sharing Form'' would give Food 
Stamp nutrition education providers the opportunity to share their 
resources and learn about existing materials. Data collected using this 
form will help FNIC identify nutrition education and training resources 
for review and inclusion in an online database. FNS encourages, but 
does not require or mandate, state Food Stamp nutrition education 
programs to submit materials to FNIC for inclusion in the Food Stamp 
Nutrition Connection database.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNIC will use the collected 
information to help build an online database of nutrition education and 
training materials. Food Stamp nutrition education providers could use 
this information to identify and obtain curricula, lesson plan, 
research, training tools and participant materials. The information 
will be collected using online and printed versions of the form. 
Failure to collect this information would significantly inhibit FNIC's 
ability to provide up-to-date information on existing nutrition 
education materials that are appropriate for Food Stamp nutrition 
education programs.
    Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; Federal 
Government; State, Local or Tribal Government; Business or other for-
profit.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 16.
