Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Produce Safety University Nomination and Course Evaluation.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The collection of information is necessary 
for people to attend Produce Safety University (PSU), a training course 
designed to help child nutrition professionals identify and manage food 
safety risks associated with fresh produce. The PSU course is designed 
to be a train-the trainer immersion course, where participants are 
expected to conduct further training with their peers using the 
information they obtain during PSU.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect course nomination 
from child nutrition professionals and State agency staff who wish to 
attend PSU. State agencies may nominate individuals to attend PSU and 
receive annual logistic information through a letter from FNS. The 
letter to States includes a link to theonlinecourse nomination. 
Toensure that PSU provides the most appropriate training content that 
is tailored to the audience, it is necessary to know the occupational 
make-up of each training co-hort. Therefore, job titles and the name of 
the organization nominees represent will be collected.Collecting this 
information on the course nomination will ensure that the Office of 
Food Safety offers this training opportunity equally among each of the 
States and seven FNS Regions. Contact information is needed from 
participants to support their learning experience; when PSU training 
sessions are held virtually, physical course materials are shipped to 
each participant. These materials include

slides, activities, and supplemental print resources, making address 
collection necessary.
    Program evaluation: The program evaluation instruments are each 
designed to collect specific information from respondents at specific 
times.
    1. The Welcome Questions are given to confirm PSU participants to 
assess where the training cohort lies in terms of knowledge and 
experience, which allows for the training team to make minor changes 
based on the foundational knowledge a group may have.
    2. The Course Evaluation involves questions following each session 
of PSU to assess if the session achieved its objective, and whether or 
not the time allotted was sufficient. The Course Evaluation also 
addresses how effective the training team and resources were in helping 
PSU participants grasp all information taught in the course. This 
information is crucial to ensure PSU is satisfying participants' 
expectations and supporting.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal governments. 
Respondent groups identified include: (1) Child Nutrition program 
operators and (2) State agency staff.
    Number of Respondents: 285.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
