currently approved data collection. The recordkeeping hours in this
submission will decrease by 342,123 burden hours due to the

removal of duplicate burden of schools to school food authorities.
The number of state agencies participating in the Program decreased
from 57 to 54 state agencies. The reporting hours in this
submission will decrease by 150,692 burden hours due to decrease in
