The Uniform Grant Application for Non-Entitlement Discretionary Grants, OMB Docket #0584-0512, allows the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to add programs to the list of approved programs that use this generic clearance process periodically, provided that approval is obtained in advance.

FNS is requesting OMB approval to add the project Child and Adult Care Food Program Child Care Wellness Grants to the list of approved projects. FNS intends to award competitive grants to State Agencies to improve the health and nutrition of children in child care settings. We are requesting to use 2,110 hours of the currently approved 31,340 hours for States to respond to the Request for Application to implement these grant proposals.
