Title: 7 CFR part 215, Special Milk Program for Children.
Form Number: FNS-10 and FNS-777.
OMB Number: 0584-0005.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2022.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: Section 3 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966, (42
U.S.C. 1772) authorizes the Special Milk Program (SMP). It provides for
the appropriation of such sums as may be necessary to enable the
Secretary of Agriculture to encourage the consumption of fluid milk by
children in the United States in: (1) Nonprofit schools of high school
grade and under; and (2) nonprofit nursery schools, child care centers,
settlement houses, summer camps, and similar nonprofit institutions
devoted to the care and training of children, which do not participate
in a food service program authorized under the CNA or the National
School Lunch Act.
Section 10 of the CNA (42 U.S.C. 1779) requires the Secretary of
Agriculture to prescribe such regulations as deemed necessary to carry
out this Act and the National School Lunch Act. Pursuant to that
provision, the Secretary has issued 7 CFR part 215, which sets forth
policies and procedures for the administration and operation of the
SMP. State and local operators of the SMP are required to meet Federal
reporting and accountability requirements. This information collection
is required to administer and operate this program. The Program is
administered at the State, school food authority (SFA), and child care
institution levels; and operations include the submission of
applications and agreements, submission and payment of claims, and
maintenance of records. The reporting and record keeping burden
associated with this revision has remained the same at 13,325 hours.
All reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with the SMP
are currently approved by the Office of Management and Budget and are
in force. This is an extension without change of the currently approved
information collection.
Forms FNS-10 and FNS-777 collect information that are associated
with this information collection; however, these forms are approved
under another FNS information collection. Forms FNS-10 and FNS-777 are
used by the State agencies to report program data. These forms, and the
reporting burden associated with them, are approved under OMB# 0584-
0594 Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS) (expiration date 7/31/23).
The recordkeeping burden associated with these forms is covered in this
collection.

profit institutions. Respondent groups identified include State
