Title: 7 CFR part 235--State Administrative Expense Funds.

Expiration Date: August 31, 2019.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-
642), 42 U.S.C. 1776, authorizes the Department to provide Federal
funds to State agencies (SAs) for administering the Child Nutrition
Programs (7 CFR parts 210, 215, 220, 226 and 250). State Administrative
Expense (SAE) Funds, 7 CFR part 235, sets forth procedures and
recordkeeping requirements for use by SAs in reporting and maintaining
records of their need and use of SAE

funds. A summary of the reporting and recordkeeping burden associated
with this revision is presented in the table below. For this revision,
a correction was made to remove the burden associated with form FNS-74,
Federal-State Agreement, since it is not an annually signed agreement
resulting in a decrease of 6 recordkeeping hours and 19 reporting hours
resulting for a net decrease of 25 total burden hours. This renewal
contains burden associated with form FNS-525, State Administrative
Expense Funds Reallocation Report. FNS plans to incorporate this form
into the Food Program Reporting System (FPRS) to accommodate electronic
reporting of the data. Once the renewals of OMB# 0584-0067 7 CFR part
235-State Administrative Expense Funds and OMB# 0584-0594 Food Program
Reporting System (FPRS) (which expires September 30, 2019) have been
approved by OMB, FNS plans to transfer FNS-525 and its associated
burden from OMB# 0584-0067 into OMB# 0584-0594.
