Download as PDF 74684 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 9, 2008 / Notices pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES funding program supports communitybased programs serving children, youth, and families in at risk environments. CYFAR funds are intended to support the development of high quality, effective programs based on research and to document the impact of these programs on intended audiences which are children, youth, and families in atrisk environments. The CYFAR Year End Report collects demographic and impact data from each community site, which is used by the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES). Funding for the CYFAR is authorized under section 3(d) of the Smith-Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 341 et seq.), as amended and other relevant authorizing legislation, which provides jurisdictional basis for the establishment and operation of extension educational work for the benefit of youth and families in communities. Need and Use of the Information: The purpose of the CYFAR Year End Report is to collect the demographic and impact data from each community site in order to evaluate the impact of the programs on intended audiences. The CYFAR data is also used to respond to requests for impact information from Congress, the White House, and other Federal agencies. Data from the CYFAR annual reports is used to refine and improve program focus and effectiveness. Without the information CSREES would not be able to verify if CYFAR programs are reaching at risk, low-income audiences. Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 51. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually. Total Burden Hours: 16,422. Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service Title: Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). OMB Control Number: 0524–0044. Summary of Collection: The Department of Agriculture’s Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is a unique program that began in 1969. It is designed to reach limited resource audiences—especially youth and families with young children. EFNEP operates in all 50 states and in American Samoa, Guam, Micronesia, Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Extension professionals train and supervise paraprofessionals and volunteers who teach food and nutrition information and skills to families and youth with limited financial resources. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:00 Dec 08, 2008 Jkt 217001 Need and Use of the Information: CSREES will collect information using Nutrition Education Evaluation and Reporting System (NEERS), which is an integrated database system that stores information on: (1) Adult program participants, their family structure and dietary practices; (2) youth group participants; and (3) staff. NEERS replaces the Evaluation and Reporting System (ERS). Without the information it would be extremely difficult for the national office to compare, assess, and analyze the effectiveness and the impact of EFNEP without the annual collection of data. Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 74. Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually. Total Burden Hours: 91,982.
