US Code:

USC 1758 Name of Law: Richard B. Russell National School Lunch
Act
This is a revision of a
currently approved collection. This information collection is
currently approved with 175,391 burden hours and 675,867 responses.
For this renewal, FNS reevaluated the burden of existing program
tasks, added two requirements that were overlooked in the previous
submission, deleted reporting burden associated with a form that
has been moved into another collection, and adjusted the number of
respondents based on current numbers of sponsors, camps, and other
sites. These administrative changes increased the burden by 21,671
hours and 118,639 responses. FNS estimates that this collection
will now have a total of 197,062 burden hours and 794,506
responses.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
