    Comments regarding this information collection received by December

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Family Day Care 
Homes Meal Claims Feasibility Study.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: To comply with the Improper Payments 
Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA) of 2010 and the Improper Payments 
Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012 (IPERIA), the Food and 
Nutrition Service (FNS) needs a reliable methodology to estimate 
erroneous payments for provider meal claims in the CACFP. The objective 
of this feasibility study is to design and test a data collection 
method that enables FNS to estimate erroneous payments due to meals 
claimed improperly by family day care home providers participating in 
the CACFP. Specifically, the study focuses on accurately estimating 
meals that are claimed but not served.
    Need and Use of the Information: This study will collect real-time 
attendance and meal-serving information from participating providers 
and parents. FNS will use this data to identify and test a data 
collection method that will accurately estimate erroneous payments due 
to meals that are claimed improperly by FDCHs participating in the 
CACFP. FNS needs to collect this information to accurately estimate 
errors in meal claims in order to fulfill the requirements under the 
IPERA and the IPERIA to identify and reduce erroneous payments in the 
CACFP.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households, Not-for 
profit institutions, and State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,038.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (two times a day for four 
weeks).
    Total Burden Hours: 3,285.
