    Title: 7 CFR part 220, School Breakfast Program.
    Form Number: N/A.
    OMB Number: 0584-0012.
    Expiration Date: April 30, 2022.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (CNA) (42 
U.S.C. 1773) authorizes the School Breakfast Program (SBP) as a 
nutrition assistance program in schools, and requires that ``Breakfasts 
served by schools participating in the SBP 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.'' This information collection is required to 
administer and operate this program in accordance with the Richard B. 
Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA). The Program is administered 
at the State and school food authority (SFA) levels, and operations 
include the submission of applications and agreements, submission of 
claims for reimbursements, and maintenance of records. The reporting 
and recordkeeping burden associated with this revision is summarized in 
the charts below. The total estimated number of burden hours associated 
with SBP requirements has decreased by 121,094 annual burden hours due 
to the use of updated participation data from fiscal year 2020. This 
collection has reporting forms associated with it, such as the ``Report 
of School Program Operations'' form (FNS-10), that are approved and 
included in the information collection titled ``Food Programs Reporting 
System (FPRS)'' (OMB #: 0584-0594, expiration date July 31, 2023). The 
FPRS information collection accounts for the reporting burden 
associated with such forms, while this collection covers the burden 
associated with the maintenance of FNS forms, or regulatory record 
keeping requirements. All of the reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements associated with the SBP and included in this collection 
are currently approved by the Office of Management and Budget and are 
in force. This is a revision of the currently approved information 
collection.
