In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved. However,
this approval extends only to the instruments contained in the
collection (FNS-74, FNS-525, and FNS-777). Collection by other
means, i.e., through the Food Program Reporting System, was not
requested nor were the instruments included. Any collection via
these means is not approved and is being conducted in violation of
the Paperwork Reduction Act. Approval is only given for 12 months.
During those 12 months, an ICR should be submitted for the Food
Program Reporting System that will incorporate the submission of

To provide each State agency with
funds for its administrative expense in managing Child Nutrition
Programs.
This is a revision of a
currently approved information collection. There is a program
adjustment of a decrease of -1,258 (870 ARRA +388 Program Changes)
total burden hours. There is a program adjustment of a decrease of
-870 burden hours due to the removal of the requirement to track
funds of the 2009 and 2010 reporting periods for ARRA. There was a
program net decrease of -388. Also, there is a program adjustment
of an increase of 492 burden hours due to the increase in the
number of respondents. Therefore, there is a program adjustment net
decrease of -1,258 burden hours to the current OMB approved 14,783
burden hours which results in 13,525 total burden hours (14,783
1,285=13,525).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
