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 January
29, 2026 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: 7 CFR part 215--Special Milk Program for Children.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0005.
Summary of Collection: Section 3 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA)
(P.L. 89-642, as amended; 42 U.S.C. 1772) authorizes the Special Milk
Program (SMP) for Children. It provides for appropriation of such sums
as may be necessary to enable the Secretary of Agriculture, under such
rules and regulations as the Secretary may deem in the public interest,
to encourage consumption of fluid milk by children in the United States
in (1) nonprofit schools of high school grade and under, and (2)
nonprofit nursery schools, child care centers, settlement houses,
summer camps, and similar nonprofit institutions devoted to the care
and training of children, which do not participate in a food service
program authorized under the CAN. Section 10 of the CNA (42 U.S.C.
1779) requires the Secretary of Agriculture to ``prescribe such
regulations as the Secretary may deem necessary to carry out this Act''
and pursuant to that provision, the Secretary has issued 7 CFR part 215
which contains the policies and procedures for the administration and
operation of the SMP. For this revision, FNS estimates that the burden
for the collection will decrease due to fewer State agencies, such as
School Food Authorities (SFA), and Non-Profit Child Care Institutions
(CCI) participating in the program.
Need and Use of the Information: This is a revision of the
currently approved information collection. This is an ongoing
collection that contains both mandatory and required to obtain or
retain benefit requirements. The SMP is administered at the State, SFA,
and CCI levels. In accordance with the regulations, State and local
operators are required to collect information
[[Page 61116]]
concerning the operation of the program including the submission of
applications and agreements, submission and payment of claims, and the
maintenance of records. Without this information FNS would not be able
to reimburse schools and institutions in a timely manner to allow them
to properly administer the program. In addition, data reporting would
be delayed, and the timely monitoring of program funding and program
trends would be affected. If the recordkeeping activities were not
conducted, FNS would be unable to provide adequate oversight of the SMP
operators and State agencies. State and local operators are required to
meet Federal reporting and accountability requirements.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Government and
Non-Profit Institutions.
Number of Respondents: 1,547.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On Occasion,
Monthly, and Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 5,119.
