Food and Nutrition Service
Title: FNS Information Collection Needs due to COVID-19.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0654.
Summary of Collection: As the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is
responding to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, it is implementing and
approving a number of waivers and program adjustments to ensure
Americans in need can access nutrition assistance during the crisis
while maintaining recommended practices. Two pieces of legislation have
detailed many of the program adjustments available to FNS. The Families
First Coronavirus Response Act (Pub. L. 116-127) and the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (Pub. L. 116-136)
provided a number of program adjustments and additional funding,
respectively. The statutes describing these waivers and flexibilities
also have reporting requirements. In addition, Section 12(l) of the
Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1760(l)) (NSLA)
allows FNS to waive statutory and regulatory requirements established
under the NSLA or Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.)
for a State or eligible service provider administering a Child
Nutrition Program (CNP). FNS issues statewide waivers under NSLA waiver
authority in response to State agencies' requests to facilitate the
ability for Program operators to carry out the purposes of CNPs during
COVID-19-related operations. These flexibilities also carry associated
reporting requirements.
Need and Use of the Information: The information enables the Food
and Nutrition Service to examine waiver applications and provide
reporting data required by the Families First Coronavirus Recovery Act
(FFCRA) and Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 1,349.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Weekly.
Total Burden Hours: 11,549.
