Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: USDA Professional Standards Training Tracker Tool (PSTTT).
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0626.
    Summary of Collection: Section 306 of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids 
Act of 2010 (HHFKA) requires Professional Standards for state and local 
school district nutrition professionals. In addition to hiring 
standards, mandatory annual training will be required for all 
individuals involved in preparing school meals. To meet the training 
requirements and assist in keeping track of training and training 
courses, FNS has developed a web-based application tool with a SQL-
server database which is available to local educational agencies and 
school food authorities through the FNS public website. While training 
requirements are mandatory, using the USDA PSTTT to track the training 
is voluntary. State and local school district nutrition professionals 
can use any method to track and manage their trainings. These resources 
facilitate compliance with HHFKA requirements and are provided at no 
cost to the state, district, or school nutrition professionals.
    Need and Use of the Information: State and school nutrition 
professionals can use the PSTTT to keep track of their training 
courses, learning objectives, and training hours, in accordance with 
HHFKA requirements. State reviewers can run reports from the PSTTT that 
they can use in preparation for Administrative Reviews that are 
conducted onsite at the school food authorities.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 10,006.
    Frequency of Respondents: Reporting: On occasion; Quarterly; 
Annually; Weekly; Monthly.
    Total Burden Hours: 17,090.
