Abstract: Respondents will take action to prevent or minimize the risk of food borne illness in the school meal program by implementing a food safety program based on HACCP principle.

Emergency Justfication: Abstract of Program and Implementation This interim rule stems from a provision in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 which requires school food authorities participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or the School Breakfast Program (SBP) to implement a food safety program for the preparation and service of meals served to children. The school food safety program must comply with the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system established by the Secretary of Agriculture. The statutory provision will be codified in 7 CFR Parts 210-NSLP and 220-SBP by establishing regulations to prevent or minimize the risk of food borne illness in the school meal programs. Reason for Emergency Clearance Public Law 108-265; June 30, 2004, amended section 9(h) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1758(h)) by adding the HACCP-based food safety program. Through a HACCP-based food safety program, schools can identify potential food hazards, identify critical points where hazards can be controlled or minimized using control measures, and develop monitoring procedures to determine if the hazards identified are being effectively controlled. Delays in the implementation of the rule and the collection of this information would result in a violation of the statutory provision.

Short Statement: This is a new collection of information. The 6,095,347 hours associated with the collection are attributed to program change due to new statute. The rule amends the regulations related to the food safety program by requiring each School Food Authority to development and implement a food safety program based on HACCP principles for each of the food preparation and service facilities under its jurisdiction. Further, School Food authorities must maintain records from the food safety program and each State agency shall confirm that each SFA has a food safety program. Also, schools are required to record temperatures of food items to prevent food borne illnesses in the school meal programs.
