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,

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 people are not required to 
respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.

Food and Nutrition Administration

    Title: Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) National 
Disqualified List.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0584.
    Summary of Collection: This collection is a reinstatement, without 
change, of the currently approved collection. 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 
(NSLA) (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 CACFP participation. The law also requires the 
Department to make the list available to State agencies for their use 
in reviewing applications to participate and to sponsoring 
organizations to ensure that they do not employ as principals any 
persons who are disqualified from the program. This statutory mandate 
has been incorporated into Sec.  226.6(c)(7) of the Program 
regulations. The Food and Nutrition Administration (FNA) is still 
legally required to collect this data and is thereby continuing to 
collect in violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
    Need and Use of the Information: This is a mandatory information 
collection that is required under statute. State agencies must provide 
the information necessary to maintain the National Disqualified List. 
The State agencies use forms FNS-843 Report of Disqualification from 
Participation--Institution and Responsible Principals/Individuals and 
FNS-844 Report of Disqualification from Participation--Individually 
Disqualified Responsible Principal/Individual or Day Care Home Provider 
to collect and maintain the disqualification data. These forms are 
accessed through a web-based National Disqualification List (NDL) 
system, to collect the contact and disqualification information and 
reasons on all individuals and institutions that have been disqualified 
and are therefore ineligible to participate in CACFP. The information 
is collected from State agencies as the disqualifications occur so that 
the list is kept current. By maintaining the web-based system, the 
Department ensures program integrity by making the NDL data available 
to sponsoring organizations and State agencies so that no one who has 
been disqualified can participate in CACFP. Without this data 
collection, State agencies would not be able to prevent individuals and 
institutions disqualified in other States from reapplying to 
participate in CACFP.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 56.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (as needed).
    Total Burden Hours: 784.
