Title: 7 CFR part 235--State Administrative Expense Funds.
Form Number: FNS-525.
OMB Number: 0584-0067.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2022.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-
642), 42 U.S.C. 1776, authorizes the Department to provide Federal
funds to State agencies (SAs) for administering the Child Nutrition
Programs (7 CFR parts 210, 215, 220, 226 and 250). State Administrative
Expense (SAE) Funds, 7 CFR part 235, sets forth procedures and
recordkeeping requirements for use by SAs in reporting and maintaining
records of their need and use of SAE funds. A summary of the reporting
and recordkeeping burden associated with this revision is presented in
the table below.
In addition to FNS-525 Financial Status Report, which is used by
the State agencies to report information related to the SAE funds, this
collection has another form, FNS-777 Financial Status Report,
associated with it. FNS-777 and its associated burden is approved under
OMB# 0584-0594 Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS) (expiration date
July 31, 2023) and therefore is not included in this collection. The
recordkeeping requirements associated with FNS-777 and the burden for
maintaining those records is included in this information collection.
For this revision, 245 hours of reporting burden is being reduced
due to FNS-525 form revisions. The FNS-525 has been completely revised
to eliminate duplication of effort. The information collected in the
previous version is already available to FNS because it is collected in
the FNS-777. The revised form was created to reflect the updated
process for State Administrative Expense reallocation funding. It is
included with this notice to allow for public comment. With these
revisions, FNS estimates that the time to complete this form will
decrease from 12 hours and 30 minutes to 2 hours and 15 minutes. The
revised FNS-525 form is included with this Notice.
