75502 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2004 / Notices 

launched in the Fiscal Year 2005. The 

target audience this project is intended 

for, Food Stamp Program nutrition 

educators, are located all across the 

Nation, making it very difficult and 

costly to evaluate the tool in a face to 

face setting. In order to use an 

evaluation tool that is cost-effective 

while reaching numerous volunteers in 

our target audience, we propose to test 

the usability of this on-line feature with 

an easy to use, on-line testing form. Data 

collected using this form will help 

determine a person’s eligibility to test 

the usability of this tool. 

The proposed voluntary ‘‘Recipe 

Finder Pilot Test Form’’ would allow 

Food Stamp Program nutrition 

education providers and USDA Food 

and Nutrition Service staff the 

opportunity to practice using this new 

on-line tool and provide valuable 

feedback on the usability of this new 

feature to the Web site. Data collected 

using this form will help FSNC make 

revisions and improvements to develop 

a dynamic product that meets the needs 

of the target audience. The form will 

collect data that will verify the person 

is in our target audience. The testing 

will be conducted over a period of time 

(approximately six months) and will not 

require long-term data collection. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 30 minutes per 

respondent. 

Respondents: Food Stamp nutrition 

education providers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 75 

per year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 37.50 hrs.

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

for the functions of the agency, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of

the proposed collection of information,

burden of the collection of information 

on those who respond, including the

Abstract: The National Agricultural 

Library’s Food Stamp Nutrition 

Connection (FSNC) http://

www.nal.usda.gov/foodstamp/ resource 

system has developed an on-line recipe 

database, the Recipe Finder, as an added 

feature to the FSNC Web site to be 

launched in the Fiscal Year 2005. The 

purpose of the recipe database is to 

provide our target audience, Food 

Stamp Program nutrition educators, 

with low-cost, easy to prepare, healthy 

recipes for classes and demonstrations 

with Food Stamp Program participants. 

We rely on these same educators to 

submit their best recipes to us for 

review, analysis and posting in the 

database. Data collected using this form 

will help identify the success or value 

of the nutrition education and budgeting 

tool with Food Stamp Program 

participants. 

The proposed voluntary ‘‘FSNC 

Recipe Review Form’’ would allow 

Food Stamp Program nutrition 

education providers the opportunity to 

review recipes on-line for the purposes 

of ensuring that only high quality 

information remain in the database. 

Based on responses generated from this 

form, FSNC staff will then be able to 

display recipes in priority order form 

highest rating to lowest. This will also 

provide an interactive component for 

educators to use on the FSNC Web site. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 7 minutes per 

response. 

Respondents: Food Stamp nutrition 

education providers
