Title: Summer Food Site Locations for State Agencies.
Form Number: FNS-905.
OMB Number: 0584-0649.
Expiration Date: 10/31/2022.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Form FNS-905: Summer Food Site Locations for State
Agencies is the instrument used to voluntarily collect information from
State agencies about approved summer meal sites for the Summer Food
Service Program (SFSP) and the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) of the
National School Lunch Program. The form collects site name, location,
and operating details, such as dates and times of the day that the
sites are in operation, that provide summer meals to children 18 years
and younger in low income communities during summer operations. The
Form FNS-905 may only be completed by State agencies.
The Form FNS-905 is part of requirements found in statute in
Section 26 of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1769g),
which mandates that FNS enter into a contract with a nongovernmental
organization to develop and maintain a national information
clearinghouse for grassroots organizations working on hunger, food,
nutrition, and other agricultural issues, including food recovery, food
assistance and self-help activities to aid individuals to become self-
reliant, and other activities that empower low-income individuals. The
Form FNS-905 is specific to summer meal site data and populates the
National Hunger Clearinghouse database with summer meals site
information and locations. The USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse is a
resource for the public to find information about the food safety net.
Information collection activities associated with the USDA National
Hunger Clearinghouse and its associated FNS-543 form, National Hunger
Clearinghouse Database Form, are covered under OMB Control number 0584-
0474, which is approved through April 30, 2025. This notice is only
soliciting comments on the collection of summer meals site information
from State agencies via the Form FNS-905 that is approved under this
collection.
FNS also provides information about approved meal sites for
individuals to find meals for children when school is out, and for
groups that assist these low income individuals or communities to find
meals for children in the summer. The information provides an
innovative way to connect families to meals during summer operations,
and assists communities in the development, coordination, and
evaluation of strategic initiatives, partnership, and outreach
activities.
A proposed change in the frequency of responses since the last
submission is expected to increase the burden hours for this collection
from 53 to 73 hours annually. In addition, FNS is removing $1,713 in
capital, start-up, operational, and maintenance costs during this
revision. While preparing this notice, FNS determined that the $1,713
costs were hourly respondent costs rather than capital, start-up,
operational, or maintenance costs. While capital, start-up,
operational, and maintenance costs are reported as part of the burden
inventory for the collection, the hourly respondent costs are not
reported in this manner. Therefore, FNS is removing these costs during
this revision.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government: Respondent
groups identified include State agencies administering the SFSP.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated number of
respondents is 53. This includes: the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico State agencies which
administer the SFSP.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: Form FNS-905 is
voluntary and State agencies are asked to complete the form at least
once annually. However, State agencies may submit weekly updates during
summer operations. Prior to the previous OMB approval, the average
submission per State agency was 8. Since then, the average submission
per State agencies has slightly increased. Data has shown that State
agencies voluntarily submit an average of 11 revisions in the course of
a year. Therefore, FNS is proposing to increase the number of responses
per respondent from 8 responses to 11 responses in this request.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 583.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time of response is
approximately 7.5 minutes (0.125 hours) for each response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 73 hours. See the
table below for estimated total annual burden for the State agencies.
