Economic Research Service

    Title: Food Security Supplement to the Current Population Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0536-0043.
    Summary of Collection: The Economic Research Service (ERS) will be 
conducting an annual Food Security Supplement to the Current Population 
Survey (CPS-FSS). The mission of ERS is to provide timely research and 
analysis to public and private decision makers on topics related to 
agriculture, food, the environment, and rural America. ERS has provided 
estimates for the prevalence of food security among households in the 
United States for the last 30 years. These estimates capture U.S. 
households' consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy 
life for all members, meaning, they are food secure. This survey 
supplement is the official source of information on food security in 
the United States and is used by ERS to report annually on the 
prevalence of food security among the U.S. population.
    Need and Use of the Information: The data collected by the CPS-FSS 
will be used for monitoring the prevalence of food security, food 
insecurity, and very low food security within the U.S. population as a 
whole and in selected population subgroups; conducting research on 
causes of food insecurity and the role of Federal food and nutrition 
programs in ameliorating food insecurity; and continuing development 
and improvement of methods for measuring these conditions. Information 
will be collected on food spending, use of Federal and community food 
and nutrition assistance programs, difficulties in obtaining adequate 
food during the previous 12 months and 30 days due to constrained 
resources, and conditions that result from inadequate access to food.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or Households.
    Number of Respondents: 51,937.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 6,559.
