    Title: 7 CFR part 215, Special Milk Program for Children.
    Form Number: FNS-10 and FNS-777.
    OMB Number: 0584-0005.
    Expiration Date: July 31, 2022.
    Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: Section 3 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966, (42 
U.S.C. 1772) authorizes the Special Milk Program (SMP). It provides for 
the appropriation of such sums as may be necessary to enable the 
Secretary of Agriculture to encourage the consumption of fluid milk by 
children in the United States in: (1) Nonprofit schools of high school 
grade and under; and (2) nonprofit nursery schools, child care centers, 
settlement houses, summer camps, and similar nonprofit institutions 
devoted to the care and training of children, which do not participate 
in a food service program authorized under the CNA or the National 
School Lunch Act.
    Section 10 of the CNA (42 U.S.C. 1779) requires the Secretary of 
Agriculture to prescribe such regulations as deemed necessary to carry 
out this Act and the National School Lunch Act. Pursuant to that 
provision, the Secretary has issued 7 CFR part 215, which sets forth 
policies and procedures for the administration and operation of the 
SMP. State and local operators of the SMP are required to meet Federal 
reporting and accountability requirements. This information collection 
is required to administer and operate this program. The Program is 
administered at the State, school food authority (SFA), and child care 
institution levels; and operations include the submission of 
applications and agreements, submission and payment of claims, and 
maintenance of records. The reporting and record keeping burden 
associated with this revision has remained the same at 13,325 hours. 
All reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with the SMP 
are currently approved by the Office of Management and Budget and are 
in force. This is an extension without change of the currently approved 
information collection.
    Forms FNS-10 and FNS-777 collect information that are associated 
with this information collection; however, these forms are approved 
under another FNS information collection. Forms FNS-10 and FNS-777 are 
used by the State agencies to report program data. These forms, and the 
reporting burden associated with them, are approved under OMB# 0584-
0594 Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS) (expiration date 7/31/23). 
The recordkeeping burden associated with these forms is covered in this 
collection.
    Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Government and Not-for-
profit institutions. Respondent groups identified include State 
agencies and Non-profit Institutions.
