This is a revision of a
currently approved collection. As a result of an increase in SFAs
and schools, there is an adjustment increase in the number of
responses by 10,257,805 ( 10,358,144 is the accurate number ) and
burden hours by 1,211,154 hours. This adjustment is mainly due to
increase in SFAs (18,765 to 20,697), Schools( 81,517 to 88,769); in
contrast, there was a decrease in the number of State agencies (SA)
who participated from 57 to 56 SA. Program adjustments in reporting
- (220.13(b)(2) - burden related to this citation was transferred
to FNS 10, Report of School Program Operations 0584-0002 collection
which accounts for -202,663 of the reported decrease . Burden
related to 220.13 (I) is no longer valid due to expiration of
citation and hence line item was removed from burden calculations.
Program adjustment in record keeping - (220.13(f), 220.14(d) burden
related to this citation is captured elsewhere in nutrition
standards rule and hence burden is removed from this rule. Burden
related to 220.8(a) was recorded in error earlier and the number of
schools maintaining production records was corrected with this
revision and that resulted in an increase in record keeping
burden.
