Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Food Security Status and WellBeing of Nutrition Assistance Program 

(NAP) Participants in Puerto Rico. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: Following 

Hurricane Maria, Congress appropriated 

additional disaster relief funds provided 

by section 309 of Public Law 115–72 

that were distributed through the 

Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP) to 

program participants in Puerto Rico. 

Under H.R. 2157, section 105, funds 

were appropriated for the Secretary of 

Agriculture to conduct an independent 

study, including a survey of NAP 

participants, to examine the food 

security, health status, and well-being of 

NAP participants and low-income 

residents in Puerto Rico. 

Need and Use of the Information: FNS 

is conducting this study to establish 

baseline estimates of household food 

security status in Puerto Rico. FNS has 

identified five objectives for this study: 

Produce descriptive statistics on key 

sociodemographic and economic 

variables, including household food 

security, in a representative sample of 

Puerto Rico households. 

Produce descriptive statistics on key 

sociodemographic and economic 

variables, including household food 

insecurity, in multiple representative 

subsamples in Puerto Rico stratified 

according to the following 

classifications: NAP participants and 

low-income nonparticipants, adults 

aged 60 and older, disability status, 

employment status, and educational 

level. 

Produce descriptive statistics for each 

subsample in Puerto Rico on key social, 

geospatial, and other policy-relevant 

elements of health and well-being 

associated with household food 

security. 

Characterize the social context of food 

insecurity through in-depth interviews 

with individuals within the NAP 

participant and low-income 

nonparticipant subgroups. Each 

interview will ask the individual to 

consider the household or family, 

community and Federal food assistance, 

and disaster relief contexts. 

Develop a detailed concept/problem 

map of the systemic factors that shape 

the implementation of the NAP 

program, particularly as a disaster relief 

tool. The concept mapping process will 

include data collection from key 

informants with knowledge of one or 

more of the stages of the Puerto Rican 

food and nutrition system: Production, 

processing, distribution, acquisition, 

preparation, consumption, digestion, 

transport, and metabolism. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals/Households, State, Local, or 

Tribal government, Businesses or other 

for-Profits/Not-for-Profit Institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 12,504. 

Frequency of Responses: On 

Occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 4,994.
