SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: FCS-665, Supplement to Financial Status Report, Nutrition 
Education and Training Program.
    OMB Number: 0584-0383.
    Expiration Date of Approval: October 31, 1995.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: The primary objective of The Nutrition Education and 
Training (NET) Program is to encourage effective dissemination of 
scientifically valid information to children participating in the 
school lunch and related child nutrition programs by establishing a 
system of grants to State educational agencies for the development of 
comprehensive nutrition information and education programs. The NET 
Program currently has 53 State agencies participating. Since section 19 
of the Child Nutrition Act (42 U.S.C. 1788) since establishes two 
statutory conditions relating to the use of these funds, certain 
reporting requirements must be in place. The two conditions are: (1) No 
more than 15 percent of the NET grant may be used for administrative 
purposes; and (2) The State must match each Federal dollar so applied 
with one dollar from State sources. To ensure compliance with these 
conditions, it is necessary to identify the amount of both Federal 
grant funds and State matching funds that the State agency has applied 
to NET Program administrative costs. While each State agency uses the 
SF-269 for total program outlays, this form does not provide a means 
for capturing subdivisions of total program outlays. Thus, form FCS-665 
has been developed to serve that purpose with respect to the NET 
Program.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response.
    Respondents: State governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 5.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 66.25 hours.

    Dated: October 30, 1995.
William E. Ludwig,
Administrator.
