Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Special Nutrition Programs 

Quick Response Surveys (SNP QRS). 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0613. 

Summary of Collection: This generic 

clearance, which allows the Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) to quickly 

collect and analyze specific information 

from State and local administrators of 

the Special Nutrition Programs (SNP), 

includes two data collections: (1) An 

annual sample frame data collection and 

(2) quick response surveys. FNS 

conducts lengthy, large, and complex 

studies on broad topics about the SNPs, 

which often take several years to 

complete. The Quick Response Surveys 

provides a mechanism for succinct, 

quick-turnaround studies to 

complement the larger SNP studies. 

Collecting sample frame data on an 

annual basis provides FNS the 

flexibility to conduct these shorter, 

quick-turnaround studies. This generic 

clearance enables FNS to administer the 

SNPs more effectively by providing a 

mechanism for rapidly collecting 

current information on specific timesensitive features or issues. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

This collection is necessary to collect 

and analyze specific information from 

State and local administrators of the 

SNPs in a timely manner. FNS will 

collect data from State, Local, and Tribal 

governments and from business (both 

profit and non-profit organizations) 

through these studies. FNS will use the 

data collected for the sample frames to 

identify the universe of entities that can 

be sampled for the quick-response 

surveys. These surveys will collect 

information from key administrators of 

the SNPs at the State, local, and site 

level in response to various program 

and research questions resulting from 

the larger and more complex SNP 

studies. The data collected from these 

quick turnaround studies will be used to 

answer policy and implementation 

questions posed by the larger studies 

and will enable FNS to monitor program 

funding, comply with statutes and 

regulations, and adopt program changes. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local, or Tribal Government and 

businesses (for-profit and not-for-profit 

institutions). 

Number of Respondents: 108,597 over 

the three-year approval. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On Occasion; Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 31,335 over the 

three-year approval.
