DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by June 7, 
2024 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the 
proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of 
the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a currently valid OMB control number and the 
agency informs potential persons who are to respond to the collection 
of information that such persons are not required to respond to the 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: FNS Quick Response Surveys (QRS).
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0613.
    Summary of Collection: This information collection request is for a 
revision to the currently approved Special Nutrition Programs Quick 
Response Surveys (SNP QRS). This revision makes some changes to the 
information collection as previously approved. The Food and Nutrition 
Service (FNS) intends to request the renewal of a generic clearance 
that allows FNS to conduct short, quick-turnaround surveys of State, 
local, and Tribal agencies and businesses that receive food, funds, and 
nutrition information through programs administered by FNS. Section 28 
(42 U.S.C. 1769i) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act 
(as amended through Pub. L. 113-79, enacted February 07, 2014, sec. 28) 
mandates programs under its authorization, including the Child 
Nutrition programs and WIC, to cooperate with USDA program research and 
evaluation activities. This generic clearance also enables FNS to 
better meet the goals of Executive Order 14058, Transforming Federal 
Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in 
Government, by allowing FNS to expeditiously gather information from 
program operators to improve and refine customer experience and service 
delivery.
    Need and Use of the Information: This collection is necessary to 
collect and analyze specific information from State and local 
administrators of FNS Nutrition Assistance Programs in a timely way. 
Traditionally, FNS conducts large, program-specific studies to collect 
information on numerous features of each program. Such studies often 
take several years to complete. The quick response surveys (QRS) 
provide a mechanism for succinct, quick-turnaround studies to 
complement the larger FNS studies and to answer policy and 
implementation questions that result from the larger studies. The FNS 
QRS information collection enables FNS to administer the programs more 
effectively by facilitating rapid collection of current information on 
specific and time-sensitive topics.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local and Tribal Governments, 
Businesses.
    Number of Respondents: 58,878.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On Occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 27,406.
