Title: 7 CFR part 220, School Breakfast Program.
Form Number: N/A.
OMB Number: 0584-0012.
Expiration Date: April 30, 2022.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (CNA) (42
U.S.C. 1773) authorizes the School Breakfast Program (SBP) as a
nutrition assistance program in schools, and requires that ``Breakfasts
served by schools participating in the SBP under this section shall
consist of a combination of foods and shall meet minimum nutritional
requirements prescribed by the Secretary on the basis of tested
nutritional research.'' This information collection is required to
administer and operate this program in accordance with the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA). The Program is administered
at the State and school food authority (SFA) levels, and operations
include the submission of applications and agreements, submission of
claims for reimbursements, and maintenance of records. The reporting
and recordkeeping burden associated with this revision is summarized in
the charts below. The total estimated number of burden hours associated
with SBP requirements has decreased by 121,094 annual burden hours due
to the use of updated participation data from fiscal year 2020. This
collection has reporting forms associated with it, such as the ``Report
of School Program Operations'' form (FNS-10), that are approved and
included in the information collection titled ``Food Programs Reporting
System (FPRS)'' (OMB #: 0584-0594, expiration date July 31, 2023). The
FPRS information collection accounts for the reporting burden
associated with such forms, while this collection covers the burden
associated with the maintenance of FNS forms, or regulatory record
keeping requirements. All of the reporting and recordkeeping
requirements associated with the SBP and included in this collection
are currently approved by the Office of Management and Budget and are
in force. This is a revision of the currently approved information
collection.
