The information collection burden associated with FNS final rule, 7 CFR Parts 210 and 220, “School Food Safety Program Based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Principles (HACCP),” was pre-approved under new OMB #0584-0550 for three years on December 31, 2009.

The OMB term of clearance for this ICR was that FNS would merge the burden approved under #0584-0550 with ICR #0584-0006, “7 CFR Part 210, National School Lunch Program,” prior to the expiration date of May 31, 2012. This rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2009, at 74 FR 66213, with an effective date of January 14, 2010.

At this time, FNS is requesting a no material/non-substantive change to merge the burden assigned to OMB#0584-0550, “School Food Safety Program Based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Principles (HACCP),” with ICR #0584-0006, “7 CFR Part 210, National School Lunch Program.”
