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
September 26, 2024 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: Summer Food Service Program.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0280.
Summary of Collection: The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch
Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) authorizes the Summer Food Service
Program (SFSP) 7 CFR part 225. Section 10 of the Child Nutrition Act of
1966 (CNA) (Pub. L. 111-296) requires the Secretary of Agriculture to
prescribe such regulations as deemed necessary to carry out Child
Nutrition Programs authorized under the NSLA and CNA. The SFSP is
directed toward children in low-income areas when school is not in
session and is administered by FNS in partnership with State agencies
and local program sponsors. FNS published a final rule, ``Child
Nutrition Programs: Meal Patterns Consistent with the 2020-2025 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans'' (RIN 0584-AE88) in the Federal Register on
April 25, 2024 (89 FR 31962) which introduces a new recordkeeping
requirement for the SFSP. Under the SFSP, FNS is required to develop
nutrition requirements that are consistent with the goals of the most
recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In addition, SFSP sponsors are
required by regulation to comply with the meal requirements. This
rulemaking finalizes long-term school, institution, and facility
nutrition requirements based on the most recent Dietary Guidelines for
Americans and feedback from Child Nutrition Program stakeholders. The
final rule allows SFSP sponsors, including non-profit institutions and
camps, that serve primarily American Indian or Alaska Native children
to serve vegetables to meet the grains requirement. FNS is also
accounting for start-up costs of $10,000 for the SFSP operators
associated with menu changes because of this final rule.
FNS is publishing a 30-Day Notice for this final rule submission
because the agency changed how the requirement and burden change were
submitted for approval in the final rule from what was used in the
proposed rule. Due to uncertain timing of the rules in conjunction with
the renewal of OMB Control Number 0584-0006, FNS decided to request a
new OMB control number for the collections related to the rule and
later merge them into the existing information collections that are
related to these requirements. By the time of the final rule, however,
OMB Control Number 0584-0006 was renewed, so FNS decided to switch to
revisions of the existing collections, rather than requesting a new OMB
control number. OMB reviewed the proposed submission as ``filed with
comment'' on March 21, 2023, and assigned the preliminary OMB Control
Number 0584-0679 to the collection. However, because FNS decided to
submit revisions to the existing information collections, this
preliminary OMB control number was not used for the final rule
submission.
Need and Use of the Information: The revisions to this ongoing
information collection are due to the final rule, ``Child Nutrition
Programs: Meal Patterns Consistent with the 2020-2025 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans'', which amends Program regulations and
introduces a new recordkeeping requirement into this collection. SFSP
program sponsors, including non-profit institutions and camps, must
maintain documentation required by this rule. This final rule contains
an information requirement that is required to obtain or retain a
benefit. The SFSP sponsors (institutions and camps) are required to
maintain documentation to show that they are eligible, when they are
serving primarily American Indian or Alaska Native children, to
implement the menu planning options to serve vegetables to meet the
grains requirement. Maintaining these records ensures program
integrity. FNS uses this information to ensure compliance with the
final rule requirements concerning this menu planning option.
