Title: Summer Food Site Locations for State Agencies.
Form Number: FNS-905.
OMB Number: 0584-0649.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2025.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The FNS-905 form: Summer Food Site Locations for State
Agencies is the instrument used to collect information from State
agencies about approved summer meal sites for the Summer Food Service
Program (SFSP) and the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) of the National
School Lunch Program. The form collects site name, location, and
operating details such as dates and times of the day that the sites are
in operation, for sites that provide summer meals to children 18 years
and younger in low-income areas during summer months. The FNS-905 form
is completed by State agencies.
The FNS-905 form is among the requirements found in statute in
Section 26 of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1769g),
which mandates that FNS enter into a contract with a nongovernmental
organization to develop and maintain a national information
clearinghouse for grassroots organizations working on hunger, food,
nutrition, and other agricultural issues, including food recovery, food
assistance and self-help activities to aid individuals to become self-
reliant, and other activities that empower low-income individuals. The
FNS-905 form is specific to summer meal site data and populates the
National Hunger Clearinghouse database with summer meals site
information and locations. The USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse is a
resource for the public to find information about the food safety net.
Information collection activities associated with the USDA National
Hunger Clearinghouse and its associated FNS-543 form, National Hunger
Clearinghouse Database Form, are covered under OMB Control Number 0584-
0474, which is approved through May 31, 2028. Submission of the FNS-905
is a regulatory requirement per 7 CFR 225.8(e) which states that ``by
June 30 . . . the State agency must submit to FNS a list of open site
locations and their operational details and provide a minimum of two
updates during the summer operational period.'' The information from
this form is used to populate the Summer Meals for Kids Site Finder map
at <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/summer/sitefinder">https://www.fns.usda.gov/summer/sitefinder</a>.
FNS provides information about approved meal sites for individuals
to find meals for children 18 years and younger when school is out for
the summer, and for groups that assist low-income individuals or
communities to find meals for children. This information is a way to
connect families to summer meals and assist communities in developing,
coordinating, and evaluating strategic initiatives, partnerships, and
outreach activities.
In December 2022, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328), authorizing a new, non-congregate meal
service option in rural areas where no congregate meal service is
available. Beginning in summer 2025, the Act also makes it mandatory
for states to report summer site data once by June 30 and update that
data at least twice each year, for a minimum total of three annual
submissions. However, FNS expects State agencies to continue to submit
the form approximately 11 times a year. The currently approved burden
for this collection is 73 burden hours and 583 responses. The estimated
number of respondents increases from 53 respondents to 54 to account
for full State agency compliance of this requirement. Due to 54 State
agencies now complying with this requirement, the total annual
responses will increase from 583 to 594. In addition, FNS is increasing
the estimated time to complete the requirement from 7.5 minutes (.125
hours) to 8 minutes (.1336 hours) to more accurately reflect the time
that it takes to complete the template. These changes increase the
burden hours from 73 hours to 79 hours due to the adjustment.

identified include State agencies administering the SFSP.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated number of
respondents is 54. This includes the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico (the State agencies
that administer SFSP).
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 11. The FNS-905 form
is required to be used starting in summer 2025 and State agencies are
required to report data at least three times during the summer
operational period. States agencies are encouraged to submit weekly
updates if there are any changes.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 594.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time of completion is
approximately 8 minutes (0.1336 hours) for each response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 79 hours. See the
table below for estimated total annual burden for the State agencies.
