Farm Service Agency
Title: Transfer of Farm Records
Between Counties.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0253.
Summary of Collection: The Farm
Service Agency (FSA) programs are
administered on the basis of ‘‘farm’’. For
program purposes, a farm is a collection
of tracts of land that have the same
owner and the same operator. Land with
different owners may be considered to
be a farm if all the land is operated by
one person and additional criteria are
met. A farm is typically administered in
the FSA county office where the farm is
physically located. A farm can be
transferred from the physical location
county office if the principal dwelling of
the farm operator has changed, a change
has occurred in the operation of the
land, or there has been a change that
would cause the receiving
administrative county office to be more
accessible. FSA–179, ‘‘Transfer of Farm
Record between Counties,’’ is used as
the request for a farm transfer from one
county to another initiated by the
producer.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected on the FSA–179 is
collected only if a farm transfer is being
requested and is collected in a face-toface setting with county office
personnel. The information is used by
county office employees to document
which farm is being transferred, what
county it is being transferred to, and
why it is being transferred. The FSA–
179 assists county committees in
determining why the farm transfer is
being requested and that it is not being
requested for the purpose of increased
program benefits, avoiding payment
reductions, establishing eligibility to
transfer base acres, or for circumventing
any other programs provision. Without
the information county offices will be
unable to determine whether the
producer desires to transfer a farm.

Title: SNAP-Ed Connection Resource
Sharing Form.
Form Number: FNS–889.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0625.
Expiration Date: 06/30/2024.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved data collection.
Abstract: In 2001, the United States
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
established the Food Stamp Nutrition
Connection to improve access to Food
Stamp Program Education resources. In
2008, FNS renamed the website the
SNAP-Ed Connection. The website is
developed and maintained at FNS. The
SNAP-Ed Connection is a resource
website for SNAP-Ed administrators and
educators. SNAP-Ed personnel use the
SNAP-Ed Connection website to locate
curricula, participant materials,
nutrition research, administrative
documents, and information regarding
SNAP-Ed program development,
implementation, and evaluation. This
resource website helps SNAP-Ed
personnel find tools and information
needed to implement high-quality
evidence-based obesity prevention
programs.
Within SNAP-Ed Connection is the
SNAP-Ed Library, an online database of
SNAP-Ed-related materials. SNAP-Ed
personnel and other nutrition and
public health agencies use the SNAP-Ed
Connection Resource Sharing Form
FNS–889, to voluntarily share
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:50 Dec 07, 2023
Jkt 262001
information about resources that can be
used to administer, develop, implement,
or showcase SNAP-Ed programs.
Information collected via this form
enables FNS to review these resources
for possible inclusion in the SNAP-Ed
Library. SNAP-Ed personnel and other
interested parties then search this
database via the SNAP-Ed Connection
website https://snaped.fns.usda.gov to
locate materials of interest. By using this
database, SNAP-Ed-funded programs
can share resources, reduce duplication
of efforts, and improve program quality
and integrity. SNAP-Ed-funded
programs can also learn about useful
nutrition education materials created by
other organizations.
Prior to this proposed update, the
FNS–889 was used to submit the
following materials to the SNAP-Ed
Library: nutrition and physical activity
interventions (i.e., educational
materials, curricula, etc.) appropriate for
SNAP-eligible persons; materials related
to the development, implementation,
and administration of SNAP-Ed
programs (e.g., staff training materials);
and reports or other materials that
demonstrate the effectiveness of SNAPEd funded programs.
Moving forward, FNS will no longer
accept the submission of nutrition and
physical activity interventions for the
SNAP-Ed library through the SNAP-Ed
Connection Resource Sharing Form.
FNS will review and accept nutrition
and physical activity interventions
during the biennial SNAP-Ed Toolkit
intervention submission process (OMB
Control #0584–0639, expiration 9/30/
2024). This change ensures FNS uses
the same submission criteria for
interventions submitted to the SNAP-Ed
Library and the SNAP-Ed Toolkit. FNS
will conduct a notice and comment
period for an updated SNAP-Ed Toolkit
intervention submission process in
Fiscal Year 2024. The FNS–889 will
continue to be used for all other
currently accepted materials such as
staff training materials and SNAP-Ed
reports. Respondents will provide
contact information, ordering
information (if applicable), and
information about the resource they are
submitting.
Additionally, respondents will submit
the form information through an online
survey and email relevant attachments
to the SNAP Program. This change will
allow uninterrupted access to the form
as the SNAP-Ed Connection website
undergoes extensive changes and
updates, including enhanced security
measures for attachments. Revisions to
this form may add an estimated 5
minutes of burden for respondents.

Revisions to the FNS–889 include
updated data elements to clarify the
requested information such as renaming
the Format section to ‘‘Resource Type’’
and adding ‘‘school/community’’ to the
‘‘Garden’’ field. The updates also align
with N–PEARS for consistent use of
terms. For instance, the form includes
the updated field names ‘‘Faith-based
Centers’’ and ‘‘Tribes and Tribal
Organizations,’’ which align with N–
PEARS (OMB Control # 0584–0683,
expiration 4/30/2026) and are widely
understood by SNAP-Ed providers.
The following updates to FNS–889 are
projected:
Removal of the ‘‘Add another item,’’
box used to submit attachments and
replace with instructions to email
attachments to the SNAP-Ed Connection
email address.
Removal of the Evidence section.
Removal of seven fields from the
Format section: ‘‘Curriculum,’’
‘‘Evaluation Tools,’’ ‘‘FNS Materials,’’
‘‘Guidance,’’ ‘‘PSE Change,’’ ‘‘SNAP-Ed
Toolkit Interventions,’’ and ‘‘Social
Marketing.’’
Addition of Data element: Addition of
a field ‘‘Webinar,’’ to the Format

Revision of Section title: Retitle
Format section to ‘‘Resource Type.’’
Revision of Data element: Revision of
field name ‘‘Faith Centers,’’ in Setting
section to ‘‘Faith-based Centers.’’
Revision of Data element: Revision of
field name ‘‘Indian Reservations,’’ in
Setting section to ‘‘Tribal Reservations.’’
Addition of Data element: Addition of
language ‘‘school/community,’’ to the
field ‘‘Gardens,’’ in the Setting section.
Addition of Data element: Addition of
four fields ‘‘Tribes and Tribal
Organizations,’’ ‘‘Individuals with
Disabilities,’’ ‘‘People Experiencing
Homelessness,’’ and ‘‘Food Pantry
Clients,’’ to the Audience section.
Reporting
Affected Public: 19 State, Local and
Tribal Agencies and 5 Businesses (for
profit and non-profit). Respondents may
include SNAP-Ed State, Local and
Tribal Agencies, and others who
implement SNAP-Ed or develop
nutrition and public health training
materials.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
This revised collection is estimated to
receive 24 responses per year. The
estimated number of State, Local and
Tribal Agency responses is 19, which is
an increase from the current estimated
number of 14. The estimated number of
Businesses is 5, which is a decrease
from the current estimated number of
10. The changes for these estimates are
due to assumptions that more State,

Local and Tribal Agencies will submit
reports and staff training materials, and
less Businesses will respond as
interventions are no longer being
accepted through this form.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: This revised collection is
estimated to receive 1.79 responses per
respondent which is a reduction to the
current estimated number of 4.44. The
estimated decrease is due to
interventions no longer being accepted
through this form.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
This revised collection is estimated to
receive 43 responses, which is a
reduction to the current estimated total
annual responses of 111. The estimated
decrease in responses is due to
interventions no longer being accepted
through this form.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time per response for this
voluntary collection is 0.25 hours (15
minutes), which is an increase from the
current estimated time per response of
0.167 hours (10 minutes). The estimated
increase in time per response is due to
the change of submitting relevant
attachments by email instead of through
the database.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: The estimated total
annual burden on respondents for this
voluntary collection is 10.75 hours,
which is a reduction from the current
estimated total annual burden hours of
18.54. The estimated decrease in total
annual burden hours is due to
interventions no longer being accepted
through this form.

The Tonto National Forest plays an
important role supporting and
partnering with communities in central
Arizona and throughout the
southwestern United States by
providing economic benefits including
fuelwood gathering, livestock grazing,
mining, and abundant recreational
opportunities. The development of the
revised LMP was shaped by the best
available scientific information, current
laws, and public input.
The Tonto National Forest lies
adjacent to the Phoenix metropolitan
area, making it one of the most heavily
visited National Forests. It spans a range
of ecosystems from the Sonoran Desert
through a variety of chaparral and
pinyon pine/juniper up to the
ponderosa pine and mixed conifer of the
Mogollon Rim. The Tonto’s rivers and
lakes maintain riparian habitat and
habitat connectivity for wildlife,
including most of the Forest’s
Endangered Species Act listed species,
and provide diverse opportunities for
water-based recreation. Additionally,
over half of the water supply for the city
of Phoenix comes from these reservoirs.
The Tonto National Forest initiated
LMP revision in 2014 and engaged the
public frequently throughout the
process. This engagement effort has
included conventional public meetings,
information sharing via social media,
and collaborative work sessions with
cooperating agencies. The Forest invited
State, local, and Tribal governments,
and other Federal Agencies from around
the region to participate in the process
