    Title: Food Stamp Nutrition Connection Recipe Submission and Review 
Form.
    OMB Control Number: 0518-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The National Agricultural Library's Food 
Stamp Nutrition Connection (FSNC) http://www.nal.usda.gov/foodstamp/ 
resource system has developed an on-line recipe database, the Recipe 
Finder, as an added feature to the FSNC Web site to be launched in the 
fiscal year 2005. The purpose of the recipe data base is to provide our 
target audience, Food Stamp Program nutrition educators, with low-cost, 
easy to prepare, healthy recipes for classes and demonstrations

[[Page 28270]]

with Food Stamp Program participants. We rely on these same educators 
to submit their best recipes to us for review, analysis and posting in 
the database. Data collected using the ``FSNC Recipe Review Form'' will 
help identify the success or value of the nutrition education and 
budgeting tool with Food Stamp Program participants.
    Need and Use of the Information: Food Stamp Program nutrition 
educators have the opportunity to submit recipes on-line saving the 
authors time while providing a fast and accurate vehicle in which to 
communicate with the authors. At the same time, submitted recipes will 
be reviewed for the purposes of ensuring that only high quality 
information remains in the database. The information will be collected 
electronically. If this collection was not conducted, it would inhibit 
the ability of the target audience to participate in a valuable 
resource that will assist them and in turn the Food Stamp Program 
participant.
    Description of Respondents: Not-for Profit Institutions; Business 
or other for-profit; Federal Government, and State, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 150.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 30.
