The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments

including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by July 28,
2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of
the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this information collection by

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Uniform Grant Application for Non-Entitlement Discretionary
Grants.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0512.
Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has a
number of non-entitlement discretionary grant programs to collect the
information from grant applicants needed to evaluate and rank
applicants and protect the integrity of the grantee selection process.
All FNS discretionary grant programs will be eligible, but not required
to use the uniform grant application package. The authorities for these
grants vary. The term ``grant'' in this submission refers only to non-
entitlement discretionary competitive and non-competitive grants or
cooperative agreements. Discretionary grant announcements include a
number of information collections, including the submission of
associated State Plan information and the use of program-specific
forms, including but not limited to, Form FNS-887 Farm to School
Coversheet, the Farm to School Baseline Report, and the Farm to School
Final Report; a ``project description'' (program narrative), budget
information SF425, disclosure of lobbying activities certification SF
LLL, and disclosure of Corporate Felony Convictions and Corporate
Federal Tax Delinquencies. The requirements for the program narrative
statement are based on the requirements for program narrative
statements described in section 1.c (5) of OMB Circular A-102 and OMB
A-110 (as implemented at USDA 7 CFR part 3015, 3016 and 3019); and will
apply to all types of grantees; State and local governments, non-profit
organizations, institutions of higher education, hospitals, and for-
profit organizations.
If FNS decides to use the uniform grant application package, FNS
will note in the grant solicitation that applicants must use the
uniform grant application package and that the information collection
has already been approved by OMB. If FNS decides not to use the uniform
grant application package or determines that it needs grant applicants
to provide additional information not contained in the uniform package,
then FNS will publish at least a 30 day notice soliciting comments on
its proposal to collect different or additional information before
making the grant solicitation, if not already discussed in previously
published notices.
Through this Federal Register Notice, FNS is notifying the public
of additional grants and forms added to this Information Collection
Request (ICR) since the associated 60-day FR Notice was published on
(April 19, 2022) at (87 FR 23160). The additional grants and total
burden hours for each one added to this ICR since the 60-day FR Notice
include the following: (1) Center for Food Safety Research in Child
Nutrition grant, 260, (2) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants and Children--Breastfeeding, 820, (3) Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children--Special
Projects, 726, (4) SNAP Income Improvements and Verification Grant,
882, (5) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and
Children--Technology grants, 6678, (6) Institute of Child Nutrition

Children--Community innovation and outreach grant and subgrantees,
3680, (9) SNAP E&T National Partnership Grants, 882, (10) Healthy Meals

Need and Use of the Information: The primary users of the
information collected from the applicant are FNS and other Federal
staff who will serve on a panel to systematically review, evaluate, and
approve the competitive and non-competitive grant/cooperative agreement
applications and recommend the applicants most likely to meet program
objectives and most responsive to the solicitation. The selection
criteria will be contained in the Request for Application package.
Without this information, FNS will not have adequate data to select
appropriate grantees or evaluate which grants should be continued or
monitor financial reporting requirements.
