Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service administers the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1771, et seq.). Section
243(c) of Public Law 106-224, the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of
2000, amended section 17(d)(5) of the Richard B. Russell National
School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1766 (d)(5)(E)(i) and (ii)) by requiring
the Department of Agriculture to maintain a list of institutions, day
care home providers, and individuals that have been terminated or
otherwise disqualified from Child and Adult Care Food Program
participation. The law also requires the Department to make the list
available to State agencies for their use in reviewing applications to
participate in the program and to sponsoring organizations to ensure
that they do not employ as principals any persons who are disqualified
from the program. Forms FNS-843 Report of Disqualification from
Participation--Institutions and Responsible Principals/Individuals and
FNS-844 Report of Disqualification from Participation--Individually
Disqualified Responsible Principal/Individual or Day Care Home Provider
are used to collect and maintain this data via a FNS web-based system
constructed to update and maintain the list of disqualified
institutions and individuals so that no State agency or sponsoring
organization may approve any entity on the National Disqualified List
to ensure the integrity of the Program. This statutory mandate has been
incorporated into Sec. 226.6(c)(7) of the Program regulations. In
addition, the recordkeeping burden associated with maintaining
documentation related to institutions and providers terminated for
cause at the State agency level is captured under the Information
Collection for the CACFP, OMB Control Number 0584-0055 Child and Adult
Care Food Program (CACFP), expiration date August 31, 2025. Therefore,
there is no recordkeeping burden associated with this collection.
