SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Generic Clearance for Stakeholder Feedback and Surveys as Part of FNS Planning: Regulatory Actions, Semiannual Regulatory Agenda, Program Changes, Research Studies, Outreach, Training and/or Development of Guidance. OMB Number: 0584–New. Expiration Date: Not yet determined. Expiration dates are normally three years from OMB approval of new information collection. Type of Request: New collection. Abstract: The proposed information collection provides a means to garner qualitative and quantitative stakeholder DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 feedback, feedback from state, local and/ or Tribal agencies and implementers, feedback from program participants, and existing administrative data, in an efficient and timely manner. This new FNS-wide generic information collection request currently does not exist and would focus on the following: • Discussion groups, focus groups, stakeholder meetings, interviews and surveys that involve other than routine customer feedback and may involve use of standardized questions such as focus group discussion guides or surveys. These focus groups, meetings, other stakeholder interactions, and surveys would involve stakeholders, program participants, and state, local and/or Tribal agencies who would potentially provide valuable input necessary for planning: (a) research studies, including program evaluations such as impact or process evaluations; (b) regulatory actions; (c) program changes; (d) outreach, promotion activities and/or training for stakeholders and program participants; (e) guidance, technical assistance documents, questions and answers, to be issued by FNS; and/or (f) other necessary program or policy analyses. The surveys would include both regular surveys and pulse-type surveys. The pulse-type surveys differ in that they would provide a real-time and reoccurring snapshot on key issues and give FNS an immediate stream of data to understand current program needs. • This generic ICR would also encompass the ad-hoc collection of extant, administrative data from state, local and/or Tribal agencies that administer the various FNS programs and/or demonstration projects (including but not limited to the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservation demonstration projects). These would be data that FNS knows are in existence and that state, local and/or Tribal agencies regularly collect but do not necessarily report to the Federal level. FNS is referring to data that are readily available for a state, local and/or Tribal agency to provide, but that FNS wouldn’t collect on a regular basis. • Information gathered could potentially yield qualitative and/or quantitative information and, when appropriate, may be shared outside the Agency (along with the context and parameters for the subject information collection, and excluding personally identifiable information). • Data gathered through this collection will be combined with information from many other sources E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1
