SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: 7 CFR Part 210 National School Lunch Program, Part 220 
School Breakfast Program, and Part 215 Special Milk Program.
    Form Number: FNS-806-A and FNS-806-B.
    OMB Number: 0584-0284.
    Expiration Date: 03/31/2013.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School 
Breakfast Program (SBP), and School Milk Program (SMP) Claim for 
Reimbursement, Forms FNS-806-A and FNS-806-B, respectively, are used to 
collect meal and milk data from school food authorities whose 
participation in these programs are administered directly by the Food 
and Nutrition Service (FNS) Regional Offices (Regional Office 
Administered Programs, or ROAP). The FNS Regional Office directly 
administers the NSLP, SMP, and/or SBP programs in Virginia, Georgia, 
and Colorado. In order to determine the amount of reimbursement for 
meals and milk served, the school food authorities are required to 
complete these forms. The completed forms are either sent to the Child 
Nutrition Payments Center at the FNS Mid-Atlantic Regional Office where 
they are entered into a computerized payment system or submitted 
electronically via the Internet directly into the Child Nutrition 
Payments Center. The payment system computes earned reimbursement. 
Earned reimbursement in the NSLP, SBP and SMP is based on performance 
that is measured as an assigned rate per meal or half pint of milk 
served. To fulfill the earned reimbursement requirements set forth in 
NSLP, SBP and SMP regulations issued by the Secretary of Agriculture (7 
CFR 210.8 and 220.11; and 215.10), the meal and milk data must be 
collected on Forms FNS-806-A and FNS-806-B, respectively. These forms 
are an intrinsic part of the accounting system currently being used by 
the subject programs to ensure proper reimbursement. The burden hours 
have decreased from the previously approved burden (1,398) due to a 
reduction in the number of respondents, School Food Authorities, from 
233 to 210.
    Affected Public: State and local governments participating in the 
NSLP, SBP, and SMP under the auspices of the FNS ROAP.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 210 School Food Authorities.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 12 (Each State agency 
will submit a 30-day report.)
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 2,520.
    Reporting Time per Response: .5 hours.
    Estimated Annual Reporting Burden: 1,260 hours.
    See the table below for estimated total annual burden for each type 
of respondent.
