Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved for 3 years, with the understanding that all English and Spanish data collection instruments used in the field will include a PRA statement with a time burden estimate. USDA acknowledges that, in the absence of baseline data, the design does not allow conclusions regarding the impact of the summer demonstration programs on household food security per se, only on whether participation in the summer demonstration programs led to at least the same level of household food security as in the subsequent fall. As such, USDA commits to conveying this limitation whenever it presents the results of this study, including in its reports to Congress.

Abstract: In its efforts to identify ways to reach a greater number of SFSP eligible children and facilitate food security in the summer, the USDA has developed and begun to implement four types of SFSP demonstrations to support enhancement activities to increase attendance at summer programs. Demonstration 1, Extended Operation, will operate the SFSP in 196 sites for 40 or more days than they usually operate their programs. In Demonstration 2, Enrichment Activity, 30 sites will support enhancement activities to increase attendance at summer programs beginning summer 2010 and will continue operations during the summer 2011. The Home Delivery Demonstration (Demonstration 3) will offer delivery of up to two meals per day to the homes of eligible children in rural areas. The Food Backpack Demonstration (Demonstration 4) will provide weekend and holiday meals to eligible children who are already participating in the SFSP. This collection gathers data from parents of participants and program officials to assess the implementation of the demonstration projects.
