    Title: SNAP-Ed Connection Recipe Submission and Review Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0518-0043.
    Summary of Collection: The National Agricultural Library's SNAP-Ed 
Connection (formerly the Food Stamp Nutrition Connection), contained an 
online recipe database called the Recipe Finder. The purpose of the 
Recipe Finder database is to provide the Supplemental Nutrition 
Assistance Program Education (SNAP-ED) providers with low-cost, easy to 
prepare, and healthy recipes for SNAP Nutrition Education purposes. The 
recipe database is now being combined with recipes from other USDA 
Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services programs such as the Food 
Distribution Programs (Food Distribution Program on Indian 
Reservations, Commodity Supplemental Food Program, and The Emergency 
Food Assistance Program), Child Nutrition Programs, and the Center for 
Nutrition Policy and Promotion. The unified database will provide a 
central location for recipe users to search for healthy recipes that 
support the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The recipes will benefit 
participants in USDA food assistance programs, consumers, SNAP-Ed 
personnel, State Agency staff, school nutrition personnel, and the 
private sector.
    Need and Use of the Information: The voluntary ``SNAP-Ed Connection 
Recipe Submission Form'' allows SNAP-Ed providers the opportunity to 
submit recipes on-line and saves contributors time and money in 
photocopying and mailing/faxing recipes. SNAP-ED staff reviews 
submissions to determine for appropriateness and eligibility for 
inclusion into the Recipe database. The ``SNAP-Ed Connection Recipe 
Submission and Review Form'' allows SNAP-Ed providers and other recipe 
users the opportunity to share their feedback about recipes. Recipe 
users benefit from reading the comments of others for personal and 
educational purposes. If the information is not collected, it may 
inhibit the ease with which SNAP-Ed providers could respond and share 
feedback, decreasing the integrity of the project.
    Description of Respondents: Individual or households; Not-for 
Profit Institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 3,670.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,269.
