SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: User Access Request Form.
    Form Number: FNS-674.
    OMB Number: 0584-0532.
    Expiration Date: 1/31/2015.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Form FNS-674 is designed to collect user information 
required to gain access to FNS Information Systems.
    Affected Public: Contractors, State Agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,700.
    The respondents are State agencies, who are located in the 50 
states and Trust Territories, staff contractors and Federal employees. 
Respondents who require access to the FNS systems are estimated at 
3,600 annually (includes Federal, State and private) however, only 
2,700 will account for the total public burden, excluding Federal 
employees. FNS estimates that it will receive an average of 300 
requests per month (15 per day). Of the 300, 70 percent (or 210) of the 
responses are State Agency users, 5 percent (or 15) are staff 
contractors and 25 percent (or 75) are Federal employees which is not 
included in the total number of responses. Annually, that results in 
2,700 respondents (210 State Agency users per month + 15 staff 
contractors per month x 12 months).
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.9.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 5,220.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.167 of an hour.
    Each respondent takes approximately 0.167 of an hour, or 10 
minutes, to complete the required information on the online form.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 870 hours.
    See the table below for estimated total annual burden for each type 
of respondent.
