    Title: National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program 
Access, Participation, Eligibility, and Certification Study II.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0530.
    Summary of Collection: The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and 
the School Breakfast Program (SBP) provide federal financial assistance 
and commodities to schools serving lunches and breakfasts that meet 
required nutritional standards. The Improper Payments Information Act 
of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-300) requires USDA to identify and reduce 
erroneous payments in various programs, including the NSLP and SBP. To 
comply with the Improper Payments Information Act and Executive Order 
13520, USDA must report on the prevalence of erroneous payments in the 
NSLP and SBP on an annual basis and if erroneous payments are 
significant, take actions to reduce improper payments and report on the 
efficacy of those actions. The APEC Study II will produce national 
estimates of erroneous payments for SY 2012-13 based on new collection 
of primary data.
    Need and Use of the Information: In School Year 2012-2013, on-site 
data collection activities will be conducted in a nationally 
representative sample of school districts and schools across the 48 
contiguous States and the District of Columbia. Data to be collected 
will include school administrative records, household income from 
parents/guardians, direct observation of school meal transactions and 
other information that will inform the study.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households, State, 
Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 8,075.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 5,837.
