DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    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 August 
24, 2022 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: 7 CFR part 215--Special Milk Program for Children.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0005
    Summary of Collection: Section 3 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) 
(Pub. L. 89-642, as amended; 42 U.S.C. 1772) authorizes the Special 
Milk Program (SMP) for Children. It provides for appropriation of such 
sums as may be necessary to enable the Secretary of Agriculture, under 
such rules and regulations as the Secretary may deem in the public 
interest, to encourage 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. Section 10 of the CNA 
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to ``prescribe such regulations 
as the Secretary may deem necessary to carry out this Act'' and 
pursuant to that provision, the Secretary has issued 7 CFR part 215 
which contains the policies and procedures for the administration and 
operation of the SMP. For this revision, the nonprofit childcare and 
nursery schools, which were originally classified as State, Local, or 
Tribal respondents, have been reclassified as Business respondents. 
This reclassification, however, does not impact the reporting or 
recordkeeping burden for this collection, which remains unchanged from 
the last renewal.
    Need and Use of the Information: This is a revision of the 
currently approved information collection. This is an ongoing 
collection that contains both mandatory and required to obtain or 
retain benefit requirements. The SMP is administered at the State, 
school food authority (SFA), and child care institution, such as 
nonprofit childcare and nursery schools, levels. In accordance with the 
regulations, State and local operators are required to collect 
information concerning the operation of the program including the 
submission of applications and agreements, submission and payment of 
claims, and the maintenance of records. Without this information FNS 
would not be able to reimburse schools and institutions in a timely 
manner to allow them to properly administer the program. In addition, 
data reporting would be delayed and the timely monitoring of program 
funding and program trends would be affected. If the recordkeeping 
activities were not conducted, FNS would be unable to provide adequate 
oversight of the SMP operators and State agencies.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Government and 
Non-Profit Institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 3,499.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On Occasion, 
Monthly, and Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 13,325.
