    Title: The Pennsylvania Rural Eligibility Pilot Evaluation.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Pennsylvania Rural Eligibility Pilot is 
a pilot of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Congress created the 
SFSP in 1968 as the Special Food Service Program for Children. In 1975, 
separate Child Care Food Program and a Summer Food Service Program were 
authorized. SFSP was authorized to provide free and reduced price meals 
to children in residential Summer camps and sites serving areas of poor 
economic conditions, where at least one-third of the children qualify 
and are eligible to participate. The Pennsylvania Rural Area 
Eligibility Pilot will address the concern that some poor rural 
children may not be reached by the SFSP, Public Law 108-265 established 
a pilot for the SFSP in rural areas of Pennsylvania for Calendar 2005 
and 2006.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected from the 
pilot will be used by managers and administrators of the USDA, in 
particular the Child Nutrition Program of the Food and Nutrition 
Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Education Food and Nutrition 
Division, for the purpose of planning, organizing, and delivering SFSP 
services. The information collected from the pilot will include the 
number of sponsors offering meals through SFSP; the number of sites 
offering meals through SFSP; the geographic location of the sites; and 
services provided to eligible children.
    Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; State, 
Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 306.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 77.
