SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: SNAP-Ed Connection Resource Sharing Form. Form Number: OMB Number: 0584-0625. Expiration Date: 10/30/2017. Type of Request: Revision of existing data collection. Abstract: We are requesting an update to the name of this form. The previous data collection was titled the Food Stamp Nutrition Connection Sharing Form. The name change from Food Stamp to SNAP was based on the Farm Bill, The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110- 234, H.R. 2419, 122 Stat. 923, Section 4001 enacted May 22, 2008, also known as the 2008 U.S. Farm Bill). The Web site is developed and maintained at the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. The SNAP-Ed Connection is a resource Web site for SNAP-Ed administrators and educators. SNAP-Ed educators (e.g., State Agencies, Business or Federal Government, such as the Center for Disease Control) use the SNAP-Ed Connection Web site to locate curricula, participant materials, nutrition research, administrative documents, and information regarding SNAP-Ed program development, implementation and evaluation. This resource Web site helps SNAP-Ed instructors find the tools and information they need to implement high- quality evidence-based obesity prevention programs. Instructors may complete the form online. Respondents will provide contact information, ordering information, and information about the resource they are submitting. The SNAP-Ed Library is an online database of SNAP-Ed related materials. The SNAP-Ed Connection Resource Sharing Form gives SNAP-Ed instructors, as well as those who develop nutrition education materials, the opportunity to voluntarily share information about resources that can be used to administer, develop, implement, evaluate or showcase SNAP-Ed programs. Information collected via this form enables the SNAP-Ed Connection staff to review materials for possible inclusion in the SNAP-Ed Library. SNAP-Ed instructors and other interested parties then search this database via the SNAP-Ed Connection Web site https://snaped.fns.usda.gov to locate materials of interest. By using this database, SNAP-Ed funded programs can share resources with each other, reduce duplication of efforts, and improve program quality. SNAP-Ed funded programs can also learn about useful nutrition education materials created by other organizations. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden on the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions that were used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Affected Public: 12 State Agencies, 12 Business, and 1 Federal Government (Respondents are SNAP-Ed instructors and others educators who develop nutrition education materials) Estimated Number of Respondents: 25. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 4.44. Estimated Total Annual Response: 111. Estimated Time per Response: 0.167 (10 minutes).
