    Title: 7 CFR part 220, School Breakfast Program.
    OMB Number: 0584-0012.
    Expiration Date: 10/31/2018.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (CNA) (42 
U.S.C. 1773) authorizes the School Breakfast Program (SBP) as a 
nutrition assistance program in schools, and requires that ``Breakfast 
served by schools participating in the School Breakfast Program under 
this section shall consist of a combination of foods and shall meet 
minimum nutritional requirements prescribed by the Secretary on the 
basis of tested nutritional research.'' This information collection is 
required to administer and operate this program in accordance with the 
NSLA (National School Lunch Act). The School Breakfast Program is 
administered at the State and school food authority (SFA) levels and 
operations include the submission of applications and agreements, 
submissions and payment of claims, and maintenance of records. The 
reporting and recordkeeping burden associated with this revision is 
summarized in the charts below. The difference in burden is due to 
adjustments, such as a decrease in the number of SFAs and an increase 
in the number of schools participating in the program. All the 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with the SBP are 
currently approved by the Office of Management and Budget and are in 
force. This is a revision of the currently approved information 
collection.

(3) schools.
