Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 208 / Friday, October 28, 2005 / Notices 62091 

children and elderly who receive CSFP 

benefits during the month of April. 

FSP and FDPIR State, local or Tribal 

agencies complete the FNS–101. FNS 

requires State, local or Tribal agencies to 

report annually the actual number and 

racial/ethnic designation of households 

who receive FDPIR and/or FSP benefits 

in the month of July. 

On October 30, 1997, OMB issued 

revised standards for the classification 

of Federal data on race and ethnicity in 

a notice in the Federal Register (62 FR 

58782). The OMB standards revise the 

racial and ethnic categories and require 

that respondents be offered the option of 

selecting one or more racial 

designations. On November 27, 2002, 

FNS published a proposed rule (67 FR 

70861) to codify a general requirement 

for the new racial and ethnic data 

collection and reporting requirements 

and which would implement the new 

data collection and reporting for the 

FSP. On the same day, FNS published 

a Notice (67 FR 70916) on the proposed 

information collection requirements for 

CSFP, FDPIR, and FSP for public 

comment. The comment period for both 

the proposed rule and the Notice ended 

on January 27, 2003. FNS received 

comments on the proposed rule and 

considered them in writing the final 

rule. A final rule for the FSP is in the 

final stages of clearance. Once the final 

rule is published, FNS plans to 

implement the new information 

collection and reporting for all three 

programs. 

The current OMB approval of this 

information collection will expire on 

December 31, 2005. FNS had planned to 

publish the final rule in the latter half 

of 2005. However, the clearance was not 

completed within our expected 

timeframe. In order to ensure that we 

remain in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, FNS is 

providing a comment period for 

extending the current information 

collection for CSFP, FDPIR, and FSP. 

After the final rule has been published, 

FNS will formally announce the 

effective date(s) for each of the affected 

programs through implementing 

memoranda as appropriate and will 

provide copies of the revised forms at 

that time. 

Burden Estimate 

Respondents: Local agencies that 

administer the CSFP, FDPIR, and FSP. 

Number of Respondents: 2,867 (144 

for CSFP, 110 for FDPIR, and 2,613 for 

FSP). 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: Form FNS–191: 144 local 

CSFP agencies once a year. Form FNS–

101: 110 local FDPIR agencies and 2,613 

local FSP agencies once a year. 

Estimate of Burden: Form FNS–191: 

The local CSFP agencies submit Form 

FNS–191 at an estimate of 1.92 hours 

per respondent, or 276.48 total hours. 

There is an additional recordkeeping 

burden of .08 hours per respondent for 

maintaining the responses, or 11.52 

hours. Total burden is 288 hours. 

Form FNS–101: The local FDPIR and 

FSP agencies submit Form FNS–101 at 

an estimate of 2.17 hours per 

respondent, or 5,908.91 hours. There is 

an additional burden of .08 hours per 

respondent for maintaining the 

responses, or 217.84 hours. Total 

burden is 6,126.75 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: The revised annual 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

OMB No. 0584–0025 is estimated to be 

6,414.75 hours, a reduction of 249.25 

hours. The burden reduction is due to 

the decrease in the number of CSFP, 

FDPIR, and FSP agencies that will 

complete a report.

in authorizing small entities to furnish 

the services to the Government.
