    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding (1) whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by October 
30, 2017 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: 
Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental 
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-
7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-
8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Study of Non-Response to the School Meals Application 
Verification Process.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-New.
    Summary of Collection: The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and 
the School Breakfast Program (SBP) provide subsidized lunches and 
breakfasts to millions of students each school day. Students are 
certified eligible to receive free or reduced-price (F/RP) meals 
through application or direct certification. When eligibility is 
determined using an application process, school districts must annually 
verify eligibility of children from a sample of household applications 
for that school year, unless the State agency assumes responsibility 
for verification. This study will examine the accuracy of district 
verification procedures.
    Need and Use of the Information: Collecting this data will help FNS 
to understand the approaches districts take to verification, understand 
the accuracy of the verification process and the results it produces in 
the context of potential changes, and help to identify potential 
improvements to the verification process.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; 
Individuals or Households.
    Number of Respondents: 2,144.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 5,535.
