Title: National Hunger Clearinghouse
Database Form.
OMB Number: 0584–0474.
Expiration Date: 7/31/2009.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 26(d) of the Richard
B. Russell National School Lunch Act
(42 U.S.C. 1769g(d)) (the Act), which
was added to the Act by section 123 of
Public Law 103–448 on November 2,
1994, mandated that FNS enter into a
contract with a non-governmental
organization to establish and maintain
an information clearinghouse (named
‘‘USDA National Hunger
Clearinghouse’’ or ‘‘Clearinghouse’’) for
groups that assist low-income
individuals or communities regarding
nutrition assistance programs or other
assistance. FNS awarded this contract to
the national hunger advocacy
organization World Hunger Year (WHY)
of New York, NY. Section 26(d) was
amended by section 112 of Public Law
105–336 on October 31, 1998 to extend
funding for the Clearinghouse (now
called ‘‘National Hunger Clearinghouse’’
or ‘‘Clearinghouse’’) through fiscal year
2003. This Act was amended by Public
Law 108–265 on June 30, 2004, and
provided increased funding for the
Clearinghouse.
The Clearinghouse includes a
database of non-governmental,
grassroots programs that work in the
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
areas of hunger and nutrition, as well as
a mailing list of relevant local
governmental agencies. Under the
original contract, Clearinghouse staff
established the database by reviewing
relevant programs of organizations
contained in several existing mailing
lists. Program and mailing information
about organizations pulled from these
lists were collected and entered into the
database once each contract year via a
mail survey with follow up to ensure
high response rates. Surveys are also
completed online at https://
www.worldhungeryear.org/forms/
nhc_form.asp. Survey questionnaires
will continue to be sent out under the
current contract. From this information
collection, the following information
was determined:
Estimate of the Burden: Public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average five
(5) minutes to complete the survey (the
survey includes one two-page
instrument).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, non-profit organizations
providing nutrition assistance services
to the public.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,750.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: One response per
respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 146
hours.
Dated: March 10, 2009.
