SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: SNAP–Ed Connection Resource 

Sharing Form. 

OMB Number: PRA# 0518–0031. 

Expiration Date: Three years from 

date of approval. 

Type of Request: Renewal of existing 

data collection from SNAP–Ed 

providers, data collection previously 

titled the Food Stamp Nutrition 

Connection Sharing Form. 

Abstract: This voluntary ‘‘Sharing 

Form’’ gives SNAP–Ed providers the 

opportunity to share information about 

resources that they have developed or 

used. Data collected using this form 

help the Food and Nutrition Information 

Center (FNIC) identify existing nutrition 

education and training resources for 

review and inclusion in an online 

database. Educators can search this 

database via the SNAP–Ed Connection 

Web site http://snap.nal.usda.gov. In 

2001, the United States Department of 

Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and 

Nutrition Service established the Food 

Stamp Nutrition Connection to improve 

access to Food Stamp Program nutrition 

resources. Educators nationwide can use 

this site to identify curricula, lesson 

plans, research, training tools and 

participant materials. In 2008, the Food 

Stamp Program was renamed the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program and the Food Stamp Nutrition 

Connection Web site became the SNAP– 

Ed Connection. Developed and 

maintained at the National Agricultural 

Library’s FNIC, this resource system 

helps educators find the tools and 

information they need to provide 

quality nutrition education for lowincome audiences. 

The Sharing Form is available for 

completion online at the SNAP–Ed 

Connection Web site. Individuals may 

also print the form and return it via fax 

or mail. The form consists of four parts. 

These various sections include: Part 1 

consisting of three questions about the 

responder; Part 2 with nine questions 

about the resource; Part 3 with five 

questions about the resource 

development; and Part 4 with six 

questions about ordering/obtaining the 

resource. Responders are asked to 

complete only relevant sections of the 

form. Instructions about which sections 

to complete, based on one’s relationship 

to the resource, are provided in Part 1. 

For instance, those that use the resource 

but are neither its developer or 

distributor would only complete Parts 1 

and 2. 

This form enables FNIC to inform 

nutrition educators of existing nutrition 

education and training materials 

targeting low-income Americans. This 

identification of existing materials will 

help educators spend their monies 

wisely by reducing duplication of efforts 

in nutrition education material 

development and by aiding in 

identifying areas of need for nutrition 

education resource development. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 19 minutes per 

response. 

Respondents: SNAP–Ed providers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 50 

per year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 16 hrs. 

Copies of this information collection 

and related instructions may be 

obtained without charge from the 

SNAP–Ed Connection Sharing Center at 

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fsn/ 

sharing_center_submission.shtml.
