The Summer Food Service Program
provides assistance to states to initiate and maintain nonprofit
food service programs for needy children during the summer months
and at other approved times. The collection of information is
required to administer and operate SFSP in accordance with the
National School Lunch Act. FNS is revising the reporting burden to
include two monitoring requirements that were previously omitted
and that have been in use with an OMB control number. This
submission also corrects rounding issues in the total
burden.
US Code:
42
USC 1758 Name of Law: Richard B. Russell National School Lunch
Act (Section 13)
This information collection is
currently approved with 338,411 burden hours and 292,363 responses.
FNS estimates that the addition of two monitoring requirements will
increase the burden hours by 124,290 hours due to a program change
resulting from the addition of these previously omitted
requirements that have been collected without an OMB control number
and in potential violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act. FNS has
also adjusted the burden hours for this collection to resolve
rounding issues which results in a reduction of 2 hours due to an
administrative adjustment. FNS estimates an overall total burden
hour increase of 124,288 hours as a result of this program change
and administrative adjustment. FNS further estimates that the
addition of the previously omitted monitoring requirements will
increase the responses for this collection by 99,432 responses due
to the program change related to a potential violation of the
Paperwork Reduction Act. With this revision, FNS estimates that
this collection will have 462,699 burden hours and 391,795
responses.
