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

    Comments regarding this information collection received by July 28,

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 information collection by

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Uniform Grant Application for Non-Entitlement Discretionary 
Grants.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0512.
    Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has a 
number of non-entitlement discretionary grant programs to collect the 
information from grant applicants needed to evaluate and rank 
applicants and protect the integrity of the grantee selection process. 
All FNS discretionary grant programs will be eligible, but not required 
to use the uniform grant application package. The authorities for these 
grants vary. The term ``grant'' in this submission refers only to non-
entitlement discretionary competitive and non-competitive grants or 
cooperative agreements. Discretionary grant announcements include a 
number of information collections, including the submission of 
associated State Plan information and the use of program-specific 
forms, including but not limited to, Form FNS-887 Farm to School 
Coversheet, the Farm to School Baseline Report, and the Farm to School 
Final Report; a ``project description'' (program narrative), budget 
information SF425, disclosure of lobbying activities certification SF 
LLL, and disclosure of Corporate Felony Convictions and Corporate 
Federal Tax Delinquencies. The requirements for the program narrative 
statement are based on the requirements for program narrative 
statements described in section 1.c (5) of OMB Circular A-102 and OMB 
A-110 (as implemented at USDA 7 CFR part 3015, 3016 and 3019); and will 
apply to all types of grantees; State and local governments, non-profit 
organizations, institutions of higher education, hospitals, and for-
profit organizations.
    If FNS decides to use the uniform grant application package, FNS 
will note in the grant solicitation that applicants must use the 
uniform grant application package and that the information collection 
has already been approved by OMB. If FNS decides not to use the uniform 
grant application package or determines that it needs grant applicants 
to provide additional information not contained in the uniform package, 
then FNS will publish at least a 30 day notice soliciting comments on 
its proposal to collect different or additional information before 
making the grant solicitation, if not already discussed in previously 
published notices.
    Through this Federal Register Notice, FNS is notifying the public 
of additional grants and forms added to this Information Collection 
Request (ICR) since the associated 60-day FR Notice was published on 
(April 19, 2022) at (87 FR 23160). The additional grants and total 
burden hours for each one added to this ICR since the 60-day FR Notice 
include the following: (1) Center for Food Safety Research in Child 
Nutrition grant, 260, (2) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for 
Women, Infants and Children--Breastfeeding, 820, (3) Special 
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children--Special 
Projects, 726, (4) SNAP Income Improvements and Verification Grant, 
882, (5) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and

    Need and Use of the Information: The primary users of the 
information collected from the applicant are FNS and other Federal 
staff who will serve on a panel to systematically review, evaluate, and 
approve the competitive and non-competitive grant/cooperative agreement 
applications and recommend the applicants most likely to meet program 
objectives and most responsive to the solicitation. The selection 
criteria will be contained in the Request for Application package. 
Without this information, FNS will not have adequate data to select 
appropriate grantees or evaluate which grants should be continued or 
monitor financial reporting requirements.

(6,426); Business or other for-profit; Not for profit institutions
