DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

August 3, 2020.
    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; 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; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 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 
September 8, 2020 will be considered. Written comments and 
recommendations for the proposed information collection should be 
submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the 
following website www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
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: Turnip the Beet! High Quality Summer Meals Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: Turnip the Beet is a voluntary award program 
to recognize participating sponsoring organizations (sponsors) in the 
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) or the National School Lunch Program 
(NSLP) Seamless Summer Option (SSO) that work hard to offer high 
quality, nutritious meals during the summer months. The SFSP is 
administered through sponsoring organizations that host meal sites in a 
wide variety of settings, while the SSO is administered through 
sponsoring school districts, offering an opportunity for the districts 
to provide a seamless transition between school meals and summer meals. 
Turnip the Beet is a tool to motivate summer meal sponsors to go above 
and beyond basic regulatory requirements for the respective program 
meal patterns. This voluntary information collection is authorized 
under 42 U.S.C. 1761 Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information needed to process 
the voluntary award nominations is collected from State Program Staff 
and Businesses (SFSP or NSLP/SSO Program Sponsors). Sponsors can submit 
nomination packets to the State Agencies, who verify that the packet is 
complete. The State Agencies then forward the nominations to FNS who 
score the nominations to determine the award winners. The nomination 
process allows FNS to accurately assess the quality of meal service in 
order to determine whether the individual sponsor qualifies for Turnip 
the Beet recognition. The Turnip the Beet award encourages sponsoring 
organizations to think creatively and strive for best practices in 
their summer meals, thereby improving children's access to nutritious, 
well-balanced meals. This allows FNS to administer summer meal programs 
that serve the needs of communities nationwide, placing an increased 
emphasis on the health of children without adding regulatory 
requirements for the meals.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; and 
Profit/Non-Profit Businesses.
    Number of Respondents: 186.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 225.
