SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Information Clearinghouse

Survey.

OMB Number: Not yet assigned.

Expiration Date: N/A.

Type of Request: New collection of

information.

Abstract: The Healthy Meals for

Healthy Americans Act of 1994

mandated that FCS enter into a contract

with a nongovernmental organization to

establish and maintain an information

clearinghouse for groups that assist lowincome individuals or communities

regarding nutrition or other assistance.

FCS awarded the 4-year contract to

World Hunger Year (WHY) on

September 29, 1995.

The clearinghouse will include a

database of nongovernmental, grassroots

programs that work in the areas of

hunger and nutrition, as well as a

mailing list of relevant local

governmental agencies. Clearinghouse

staff will begin to establish the database

by reviewing relevant programs of

organizations contained in several

existing mailing lists. Updated program

and mailing information about

organizations culled from these lists

will be collected and entered into the

database through a series of

electronically-processed survey

questionnaires sent through the mail.

Returned surveys will be scanned and

data entered into the database.

Clearinghouse staff will follow up by

phone or fax to ensure the highest

possible return rate on the

questionnaires. Based on prior

experience, clearinghouse staff

anticipate that the return rate on

questionnaires will be approximately 65

percent.

In order to effectively maintain the

database, questionnaires will be sent to

all organizations included in the

database once each year (years 2 and 3

of the contract), in order to obtain

updated information.

Each survey will be administered to

each respondent only once each year.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average 5 minutes for the

survey (the survey includes one 2-page

instrument).

Respondents: The respondents are

nongovernmental organizations that

have grassroots food and nutrition

programs.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

For the first year of the contract, 19,500

respondents are estimated; for the

second year, 9,750 respondents; and for

the third year, 6,500 respondents.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: One response in each of

the 3 years.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: For the first year of the

contract, 1,625 hours; for the second

year, 813 hours; and for the third year,

542 hours.
