National Institute of Food and Agriculture

    Title: Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP).
    OMB Control Number: 0524-0044.
    Summary of Collection: The Department of Agriculture's National 
Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Expanded Food and Nutrition 
Education Program (EFNEP) is a unique program that began in 1969 and is 
designed to reach limited resource audiences, especially youth and 
families with young children. EFNEP operates in all 50 states, the 
District of Columbia and in American Samoa, Guam, Micronesia, Northern 
Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The objectives of EFNEP 
are to assist families and youth with limited resources in acquiring 
the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and changed behaviors necessary for 
nutritionally sound diets, and to contribute to their personal 
development and the improvement of the total family diet and 
nutritional well-being.
    Need and Use of the Information: NIFA will collect information 
using Web-Based Nutrition Education Evaluation and Reporting System 
(WebNEERS), which is an integrated database system that stores 
information on: (1) Programmatic results: (A) Adult program 
participants, their family structure and dietary practices; (B) youth 
group participants; and (C) staff; and (2) programmatic plans (D) 
annual budget; and (E) annual program plans. Without the information it 
would be extremely difficult for the national office to compare, 
assess, and analyze the effectiveness and the impact of EFNEP without 
the annual collection of data.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 75.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 15,440.
