SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 
notice invites the general public and public agencies to comment on a 
proposed information collection. This collection is an extension, 
without change, of a currently approved collection for maintaining the 
National Disqualified List of institutions, day care home providers, 
and individuals that have been terminated or otherwise disqualified 
from Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) participation. These 
federal requirements affect eligibility under the CACFP. The State 
Agencies are required to enter data as institutions and individuals 
become disqualified from participating in the CACFP. The collection is 
the result of a FNS web-based system constructed to update and maintain 
the list of disqualified institutions and individuals so that no State 
agency or sponsoring organization may approve any entity on

    Title: CACFP National Disqualified List.
    Form Number: FNS-843 and FNS-844.
    OMB Number: 0584-0584.
    Expiration Date: 11/30/2019.

    Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service administers the Child 
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1771, et seq.). Section 
243(c) of Public Law 106-224, the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 
2000, amended section 17(d)(5) of the Richard B. Russell National 
School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1766(d)(5)(E)(i) and (ii)) by requiring the 
Department of Agriculture to maintain a list of institutions, day care 
home providers, and individuals that have been terminated or otherwise 
disqualified from Child and Adult Care Food Program participation. The 
law also requires the Department to make the list available to State 
agencies for their use in reviewing applications to participate and to 
sponsoring organizations to ensure that they do not employ as 
principals any persons who are disqualified from the program. Forms 
FNS-843 Report of Disqualification from Participation--Institutions and 
Responsible Principals/Individuals and FNS-844 Report of 
Disqualification from Participation--Individually Disqualified 
Responsible Principal/Individual or Day Care Home Provider are used to 
collect and maintain this data. This statutory mandate has been 
incorporated into Sec.  226.6(c)(7) of the Program regulations. In 
addition, the recordkeeping burden associated with maintaining 
documentation related to institutions and providers terminated for 
cause at the State agency level is captured under the Information 
Collection for the CACFP OMB Control Number 0584-0055 Child and Adult 
Care Food Program, expiration date 2/29/2020. Therefore, there is no 
recordkeeping burden associated with this collection.
    Affected Public: State Agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 56.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 28.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 1,568.
    Estimate Time per Response: 0.50.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 784.
