These forms are used by school food
authorities who participate in the National School Lunch Program,
School Breakfast Program, and Special Milk Program that are
administered by the FNS regional offices. The data is used to
determine the amount of reimbursement for meals and milk
served.
The total burden requested for
this collection is 1,896. This is an increase of 161 hours from the
previously approved inventory of 1,735. The time needed to complete
the electronic form has decreased from .75 of an hour per response
to .50 of an hour (60% of the responses); the number of respondents
has increased from 209 to 273 due to the increase in the number of
school food authorities participating in the programs administer by
the regional offices. With the increase in the number of
respondents, thus recordkeeping burden previously identified as 167
hours increases to 218 hours. Therefore, the increase of 161 hours
to the previously approved 1,735 hours, to the requested burden for
this collection of 1,896, is due to an adjustment.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
