Disqualified List.
Form Number: FNS-843 and FNS-844.
OMB Number: 0584-0584.

Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Administration 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 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 October 31,
2027. Therefore, there is no recordkeeping burden associated with this
collection.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 56.
