Title: Child Nutrition Program Operations Study II (CN-OPS II):
Year 4.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0607.
Summary of Collection: The objective of the Child Nutrition Program
Operations Study II (CN-OPS-II): Year 4 is to collect timely data on
policies, administrative, and operational issues on the Child Nutrition
Programs. The study will help FNS obtain general descriptive data on
the child nutrition programs' characteristics needed to help FNS
respond to questions concerning those programs; obtain data related to
program administration for designing and revising program regulations,
managing resources, and reporting requirements; and obtain data related
to program operations to help FNS develop and provide training and
technical assistance to the State Agencies and School Food Authorities
(SFAs) responsible for administering these programs. The Year 4 data
collection will provide up-to-date information about Child Nutrition
Program operations. This study is also necessary to implement Section
28(a)(1) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act which
directs FNS to carry out annual national performance assessments of the
National School Lunch and the School Breakfast Programs.
Need and Use of the Information: This study will survey State Child
Nutrition and School Food Authority directors. FNS will use the data
collected from the Year 4 study to describe and assess program
operations, provide input for legislation and regulations on the Child
Nutrition programs, and to develop pertinent technical assistance and
training for program staff at the State and SFA levels. This data will
also allow FNS to understand how recent and proposed legislation,
regulations, policies, and initiatives change Child Nutrition program
operations. The data collected from these studies will allow FNS to
obtain a full national picture of program operations.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 2,248.
