DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
October 23, 2018.
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 November
26, 2018 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-

An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

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: 7 CFR part 220, School Breakfast Program.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0012.
Summary of Collection: Section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA)
of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1773) authorizes the School Breakfast Program as a
nutrition assistance program and authorizes payments to States to
assist them to initiate, maintain, or expand nonprofit breakfast
programs in schools. The provision requires that ``Breakfasts 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.'' The School Breakfast Program is
administered and operated in accordance with the National School Lunch
Act (NSLA). The Program is administered at the State and school food
authority (SFA) levels and the operations include the submission and
approval of applications, execution of agreements, submission of
claims, payment of claims, monitoring, and providing technical
assistance.
Need and Use of the Information: States, SFAs, and schools are
required to keep accounts and records as may be necessary to enable FNS
to determine whether the program is in compliance. SFAs collect
breakfast counts from the schools so that they can submit claims and
related information to the State agencies. The State agencies then
report this information to FNS. The State agencies, the SFAs, and the
schools also maintain records related to the School Breakfast Program.
FNS uses the information to monitor State agency and SFA compliance,
determine the amount of funds to be reimbursed, evaluate and adjust
program operations, and to monitor program funding and program trends.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 110,268.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion;
Monthly.
Total Burden Hours: 3,857,770.
