Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request—Generic Clearance
To Conduct Formative Research or
Development of Nutrition Education
and Promotion Materials and Related
Tools and Grants for FNS Population
Groups
Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS), USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice invites the general public and
other interested parties to comment on
a proposed information collection. This
collection is an extension of a currently
approved collection. This information
collection will conduct research in
support of FNS’ goal of delivering
science-based nutrition education to
targeted audiences. This information
collection will also conduct research
that will assist FNS in identifying
effective design and implementation
approaches to use to develop and assess
grants. From development through
testing of materials and tools with the
target audience, FNS plans to conduct
data collections that involve formative
research including focus groups,
interviews (dyad, triad, telephone, etc.),
surveys and Web-based collection tools.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before November 28,
2022.
SUMMARY:
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 has practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance to Conduct
Formative Research or Development of
Nutrition Education, Promotion
Materials and Related Tools, and Grants
for FNS Population Groups.
OMB Number: 0584–0524.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2022.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: This information collection
is based on Section 19 of the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1787),
Section 5 of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C.
1754) and Section 11(f) of the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2020).
This request for approval of information
collection is necessary to obtain input
into the development of nutrition
education interventions for population
groups served by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
(USDA–FNS). FNS also uses this
collection to obtain input that can be
used to develop and assess grants.
Interventions need to be designed so
that they can be delivered through
different types of media and in a variety
of formats for diverse audiences.
FNS develops a variety of resources to
support nutrition education and
promotion activities. These resources
are designed to convey science-based,
behavior-focused nutrition messages
about healthy eating and physical
activity to children and adults eligible
to participate in FNS nutrition
assistance programs and to motivate
them to consume more healthful foods
as defined by the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans (DGA). This includes
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
58769
education materials, messages,
promotion tools and interventions for
the diverse population served by the
Federal nutrition programs as well as
WIC, Team Nutrition, Food Distribution
and other programs.
Obtaining formative input and
feedback is fundamental to FNS’ success
in delivering science-based nutrition
messages and reaching diverse segments
of the population in ways that are
meaningful and relevant. This includes
conferring with the target audience,
individuals who serve the target
audience, and key stakeholders on the
communication strategies and
interventions that will be developed and
on the delivery approaches that will be
used to reach consumers. The formative
research and testing activities described
will help in the development of
effective education and promotion tools
and communication strategies.
Collection of this information will
increase FNS’ ability to formulate
nutrition education interventions that
resonate with the intended target
population, particularly low-income
families.
FNS also uses formative input and
feedback to determine how best to
develop and assess grants so that grant
recipients can successfully meet their
goals under these grants. To do this,
FNS confers with grant recipients to
obtain input regarding their
experiences, expectations, challenges,
and lessons learned while implementing
the grant.
Formative research methods and
information collection will include
focus groups, interviews (dyad, triad,
telephone, etc.), surveys and Web-based
data collection. The data obtained will
provide input regarding the potential
use of materials and products during
both the developmental and testing
stages, in addition to the development
of grants. Key informant interviews will
be conducted in order to determine
future nutrition education and grant
needs, tools and dissemination
strategies. This task involves collecting
a diverse array of information from a
variety of groups including: people
familiar with the target audiences;
individuals delivering nutrition
education intervention materials and
projects; program providers at State and
local levels; program participants; grant
recipients, and other relevant
informants associated with FNS
programs.
Findings from all data collection will
be included in summary reports
submitted to USDA–FNS. The reports
will describe the data collection
methods, findings, conclusions,
implications, and recommendations for

the development and effective
dissemination of nutrition education
materials and related tools for FNS
population groups. There will be no
specific quantitative analysis of data. No
attempt will be made to generalize the
findings to be nationally representative
or statistically valid. There are no
recordkeeping or third party disclosure
burden requirements.
Reporting Burden
FNS estimates the total annual burden
hours are a total of 46,823 burden hours
for 3 years. Additionally, the total
annual responses are a total of 120,710
total responses for 3 year approval. See
