This process is necessary for assessing the ability of grant applicants to manage federal funds. The update includes adjustments to meet current legal and regulatory standards and aims to make the information collection form more accessible. Public comments on this proposal are invited until February 4, 2025, and can be submitted electronically.

    The Department of Agriculture will submit an information collection requirement to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act. This request is related to the Micro-Grants for Food Security Program (MGFSP), which aims to boost locally grown food quantities and quality in food-insecure communities. The program, funded by the Farm Bill, collects essential information from grant applicants, primarily from agricultural agencies or departments in various U.S. territories, to ensure compliance with program regulations. Responses are submitted voluntarily and have a total burden of about 318 hours.
