    Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education 
Connection Resource Sharing Form
    OMB Control Number: 0518-0031
    Summary of Collection: In 2001, the United States Department of 
Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service established the Food 
Stamp Nutrition Connection to improve access to the Food Stamp Program 
Education resources. In 2008, the Web site was renamed to the 
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) 
Connection. The Web site is developed and maintained at the National 
Agricultural Library's (NAL) Food and Nutrition Information Center 
(FNIC). The SNAP-Ed Connection is a resource Web site for SNAP-Ed 
administrators and educators. SNAP-Ed personnel use the SNAP-Ed 
Connection Web site to locate curricula, participant materials, 
nutrition research, administrative documents, and information regarding 
SNAP-Ed program development, implementation and evaluation. The 
authority for NAL to collect this information is contained in the CFR, 
Title 7, Volume 1, Part 2, Subpart K, Sec. 2.65 (92).
    Need and Use of the Information: SNAP-ED Connection staff members 
use information collected by the Resource Sharing Form to build and 
constantly enhance the online database of nutrition education and 
training materials known as the Resource Finder Database. SNAP-Ed 
providers access and use the database to identify and obtain curricula, 
lesson plan, research, training tools and participant materials. Vital 
information about these resources, such as a description of the 
resource, its creator, publisher and ordering information is collected 
using the Resource Sharing Form. Failure to collect this information 
would significantly inhibit SNAP-Ed Connection ability to provide up-
to-date information on existing nutrition education materials that are 
appropriate for SNAP-Ed programs and providers.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-
profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 170.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 133.
