DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
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
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
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 August
24, 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 particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: 7 CFR part 215--Special Milk Program for Children.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0005
Summary of Collection: Section 3 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA)
(Pub. L. 89-642, as amended; 42 U.S.C. 1772) authorizes the Special
Milk Program (SMP) for Children. It provides for appropriation of such
sums as may be necessary to enable the Secretary of Agriculture, under
such rules and regulations as the Secretary may deem in the public
interest, to encourage 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. Section 10 of the CNA
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to ``prescribe such regulations
as the Secretary may deem necessary to carry out this Act'' and
pursuant to that provision, the Secretary has issued 7 CFR part 215
which contains the policies and procedures for the administration and
operation of the SMP. For this revision, the nonprofit childcare and
nursery schools, which were originally classified as State, Local, or
Tribal respondents, have been reclassified as Business respondents.
This reclassification, however, does not impact the reporting or
recordkeeping burden for this collection, which remains unchanged from
the last renewal.
Need and Use of the Information: This is a revision of the
currently approved information collection. This is an ongoing
collection that contains both mandatory and required to obtain or
retain benefit requirements. The SMP is administered at the State,
school food authority (SFA), and child care institution, such as
nonprofit childcare and nursery schools, levels. In accordance with the
regulations, State and local operators are required to collect
information concerning the operation of the program including the
submission of applications and agreements, submission and payment of
claims, and the maintenance of records. Without this information FNS
would not be able to reimburse schools and institutions in a timely
manner to allow them to properly administer the program. In addition,
data reporting would be delayed and the timely monitoring of program
funding and program trends would be affected. If the recordkeeping
activities were not conducted, FNS would be unable to provide adequate
oversight of the SMP operators and State agencies.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Government and
Non-Profit Institutions.
Number of Respondents: 3,499.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On Occasion,
Monthly, and Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 13,325.
Ruth Brown,
Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
