to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by February 
26, 2016 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: 
Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental 
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Uniform Grant Application for Non-Entitlement Discretionary 
Grants.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0512.
    Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has a 
number of

[[Page 4609]]

non-entitlement discretionary grant programs to collect the information 
from grant applicants needed to evaluate and rank applicants and 
protect the integrity of the grantee selection process. All FNS 
discretionary grant programs will be eligible, but not required to use 
the uniform grant application package. The authorities for these grants 
vary. The term ``grant'' in this submission refers only to non-
entitlement discretionary grants or cooperative agreements. 
Discretionary grant announcements include a number of information 
collections, including a ``project description'' (program narrative), 
budget information, disclosure of lobbying activities certification, 
and disclosure of Corporate Felony Convictions and Corporate Federal 
Tax Delinquencies. The requirements for the program narrative statement 
are based on the requirements for program narrative statements 
described in section 1.c (5) of OMB Circular A-102 and OMB A-110 (as 
implemented at USDA 7 CFR part 3015, 3016 and 3019); and will apply to 
all types of grantees; State and local governments, non-profit 
organizations, institutions of higher education, hospitals, and for 
profit organizations.
    Need and Use of the Information: The primary users of the 
information collected from the applicant are FNS and other Federal 
staff who will serve on a panel to systematically review, evaluate, and 
approve the grant/cooperative agreement applications and recommend the 
applicants most likely to meet program objectives and most responsive 
to the solicitation. The selection criteria will be contained in the 
Request for Application package. Without this information, FNS will not 
have adequate data to select appropriate grantees or evaluate which 
grants should be continued, or monitor financial reporting 
requirements.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; 
Business or other for-profit; Not for profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 3,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (one-time).
    Total Burden Hours: 150,000.

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Generic Clearance for the Development of Nutrition Education 
Messages and Products for the General Public.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0523.
    Summary of Collection: The Center for Nutrition Policy and 
Promotion (CNPP) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture conducts 
consumer research to identify key issues of concern related to 
understanding and use of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), as 
well as the tools and resources used to implement the Dietary 
Guidelines--previously known as the MyPyramid food guidance system. The 
Dietary Guidelines, a primary source of dietary health information, are 
issued jointly by the USDA and Health and Human Services and serve as 
the cornerstone of Federal nutrition policy and form the basis for 
nutrition education efforts of these agencies. After the release of the 
2010 DGA a new communication initiative built around USDA's new MyPlate 
icon, including the resources at ChooseMyPlate.gov, was launched. 
MyPlate is a visual cue supported by Dietary Guidelines messages to 
help consumer make better food choices.
    Need and Use of the Information: CNPP will collect information to 
develop practical and meaningful nutrition and physical activity 
guidance for Americans to help improve their health. The collected 
information will also be used to expand the knowledge base concerning 
how the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations and messages 
supporting MyPlate are understood and how they can be used by consumers 
to improve balance of their food intake with physical energy 
expenditure for good health. If this information is not collected, 
USDA's ability to incorporate messages and materials that are 
practical, meaningful, and relevant for the intended audience in any 
proposed update of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans or related 
resources at Choosemyplate.gov will be impaired.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 57,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (as desired).
    Total Burden Hours: 12,004.
