                respond to the collection of information that such persons are not

                a currently valid OMB control number.
                Food and Nutrition Service
                 Title: Food Program Reporting System (FPRS).

                consolidating certain programmatic and financial data reporting
                requirements under the Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS), an
                electronic reporting system. The purpose is to give State agencies and
                Indian Tribal Organization (ITO) agencies one portal for the various
                reporting required for the programs that the State and ITO agencies
                operate.

                data is gathered at various times, ranging from monthly, quarterly,
                annual or final submissions. Without the information, FNS would be
                unable to meet its legislative and regulatory reporting requirements
                for the affected programs.
