    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

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 20, 
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

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: SNAP-Ed Connection Resource Sharing Form 889.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0625.
    Summary of Collection: Section 28 of the Food and Nutrition Act 
(FNA) of 2008, as amended (7 U.S.C. 2036a), states that ``The Secretary 
shall establish an online clearinghouse that makes available to State 
agencies, local agencies, institutions of higher education, and 
community organizations, best practices for planning, implementing, and 
evaluating nutrition education and obesity prevention services to 
ensure that projects carried out with funds received under this section 
are appropriate for the target population.'' Information collected via 
the SNAP-Ed Connection Resource Sharing Form (FNS-889) form enables the 
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to review and approve resources to be 
shared publicly on the SNAP-Ed Connection website.
    The SNAP-Ed Connection is FNS's online clearinghouse and includes 
resources shared among SNAP-Ed administrators and educators. This 
resource website helps SNAP-Ed personnel find the tools and information 
needed to implement evidence-based obesity prevention programs. The 
FNS-889 form enables FNS to collect and disseminate SNAP-Ed-related 
information and resources via the SNAP-Ed Connection website, thus 
meeting the requirements of the FNA, Section 28(c)(7)1.
    This revision to the information collection is necessary to improve 
the submission process and clarify the information collected, thus 
providing data that is accurate and beneficial to SNAP-Ed agencies 
using the resources. These updates are also necessary to align with FNS 
system and process changes. The updates to the FNS-889 form will align 
with the new SNAP-Ed National Program Evaluation and Reporting System 
(N-PEARS) to ensure consistency with SNAP-Ed specific terms. This form 
update will also help ensure FNS uses the same submission criteria for 
nutrition and physical activity interventions, as those resources will 
no longer be accepted via this form, but through the SNAP-Ed 
intervention submission process.
    SNAP-Ed Connection Resource Sharing Form FNS 889: SNAP-Ed personnel 
use the SNAP-Ed Connection website to locate curricula, participant 
materials, nutrition research, administrative documents, and 
information regarding SNAP-Ed program development, implementation and 
evaluation. Within SNAP-Ed Connection is the SNAP-Ed Library, an online 
database of SNAP-Ed-related materials. SNAP-Ed personnel and other 
nutrition and public health agencies use the SNAP-Ed Connection 
Resource Sharing Form to share information about resources that can be 
used to administer, develop, implement and showcase SNAP-Ed programs. 
SNAP-Ed personnel include nutrition education instructors in State, 
local, and Tribal Governments, and businesses.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected via this 
form will be reviewed and approved by FNS for possible inclusion in the 
SNAP-Ed Library. These collected resources may be shared with SNAP-Ed 
State and local agencies to provide technical assistance, best 
practices and help enhance program activities. They may also be 
highlighted in FNS's communications such as SNAP-Ed email newsletters 
and other social media platforms.
    Respondents to this information collection will be asked to use the 
FNS-889 form to submit their resources for review and may submit 
materials at any time. Respondents will access the FNS-889 form via a 
direct link on the SNAP-Ed Library web page, that will take them to the 
Microsoft Forms website to complete the form. The form includes 
instructions to email resource attachments to [email protected] upon completion. If a respondent is not able to 
use the FNS-889 form, they may submit responses to the form questions 
via email to [email protected].
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, Tribal Government, Not-
for-Profit.
    Number of Respondents: 24.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Occasionally; Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 18.
