The Department of Agriculture submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review a data collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. They seek public comments about the necessity and utility of the data, estimating the burden, and suggestions for improvement. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) aims to use this information to conduct quick response surveys for Special Nutrition Programs (SNP), which will help in timely decision-making and enable effective program management and compliance. The data collection will involve State, local, and tribal governments, as well as both for-profit and non-profit organizations, and is expected to include 108,597 respondents over three years.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Agriculture wants help from people to see if collecting certain kinds of information is useful. They plan to ask a lot of people, like groups and businesses, over the next three years, to better manage food programs.
