Notes: The estimated number of unique respondents (12,932) and non-respondents (74) who were contacted for the pretest or will be contacted for notification, recruiting, and data collection purposes is 13,004; 54 State Child Nutrition Agency (CN) directors, 52 State Education Agency (SEA) finance officers, 478 district superintendents, 620 school food authority (SFA) directors, 304 local educational agency (LEA) business managers, 390 menu planners, 1,544 school nutrition managers (SNMs), 1,270 principals, 264 school liaisons, 30 food service management company (FSMC) managers, 4,000 parents/guardians, and 4,000 students. Activities marked with (a) identify those that contribute to the cumulative number of unique members of the public that were contacted for the pretest (3 SFA directors, 3 SNMs, and 3 principals) or who will be initially contacted to participate in the study.

Not all respondents will ultimately participate in the data collection. Activities marked with (b) identify those that contribute to the total number of unique respondents for data collection. The target number of unique respondents to provide data for the study is 7,899; 54 CN directors, 43 SEA finance officers, 539 SFA directors, 289 LEA business managers, 375 menu planners, 1,216 SNMs, 1,116 principals, 264 school liaisons, 5 FSMC managers 2,000 parents/guardians, and 2,000 students.

Respondents who responded to an initial activity may not respond to a subsequent activity. Activities marked with (c) identify those that contribute to the number of non-respondents who did not respond to the primary data collection activity for the respondent group. They may have responded to a preceding activity, and they may become non-respondents for subsequent activities. The estimated number of non-respondents is 0 CN directors, 9 SEA finance officers, 35 district superintendents, 56 SFA directors, 15 LEA business managers, 15 menu planners, 102 SNMs, 111 principals, 0 school liaisons, 1 FSMC manager, 222 parents/guardians, and 857 students.

The estimated number of responses collected electronically via web, CAPI, CATI or submission of an electronic spreadsheet is 14,810.

The estimated number of small entities includes SFAs with a population of less than 50,000. The respondents from these SFAs include superintendents, SFA directors, LEA business managers, and menu planners, and are denoted with underlining in Columns F and K. Of the 1,792 unique SFA-level respondents, 1,738 (97%) are expected to be from small entities.

The estimated time to complete the parent interview is an average of the amount of time expected to complete by web or phone. We assume that 30% of the responses are completed by web (estimated burden of 0.3 hours) and 70% of the responses are completed by CATI (estimated burden of .47 hours).
















"State" includes both States and Territories.

The Self-Serve/Made-to-Order Bar Form, Vending Machine and Other Sources of Foods and Beverages Checklists, Cafeteria Observation Guide, Point-of-Sale Form, and Plate Waste Observation Booklet are each completed on-site by contractor staff, but require SNM assistance.

The Milk Form (Appendix I7) will be completed by field interviewers and is not reported in the respondent burden table.
















The estimated number of parents/guardians who are non-respondents to the study consent form assumes that 10 percent of Group 2 SFAs will require active consent and 28 percent of parents/guardians in those SFAs will not return a consent form.



















The assumed response rate for SFAs in the full data collection in outlying areas is 100% for Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. (The assumed response rate for FSMC sample members in Guam is also 100%.) Given the greater number of SFAs in the Alaska sample, the response rate for those SFAs is assumed to align with the response rate for the contiguous United States. The assumed response rate for schools in the outlying areas is the same as for the contiguous United States.

For the full data collection in outlying areas, the State Agency Indirect Cost Survey will be fielded to the State Education Agency Finance Officer in Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The hourly wage rate reflects the role of "Financial Analyst" in those locations only.

A food service management company operates the school meals program in the majority of Guam’s schools. Data will be collected from one central and four regional FSMC managers to help estimate the cost of producing school meals excluding the FSMC operating profits
















"Total Annualized Cost of Respondent Burden" is equal to the "Grand Total Annual Burden Estimate (hours)" times a loaded average hourly wage rate.
















Average hourly wage used for Groups 1, 2, and 3 include SFA Director or LEA Business Manager - (Education Administrators, All Other) - $43.06, Menu Planner (Dietitians and Nutritionists) - $29.43, School Nutrition Managers (Food Service Managers)-$28.35, School Staff Liaisons (Education, Training, and Library Occupations, All Others) -$27.22, Superintendent (Education Administrators, Postsecondary) - $53.47, Principal (Education Administrators) - $46.65, Parent (All Occupations) - $24.98, State Child Nutrition Director or Education Agency Financial Officer (Financial Analyst) - $48.55, and FSMC Manager (General and Operations Managers) - $59.56. Students (elementary and secondary school students) were assumed to not have an hourly wage rate. Average hourly wage rates are taken from: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Wages by Occupation, May 2018. To account for a fully-loaded wage rate, an additional 33 percent was added to the hourly wage.

Average hourly wage used for full data collection in outlying areas (Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) include SFA Director, LEA Business Manager, Superintendent or State Child Nutrition Director- (Education Administrators, All Other)- $43.14, School Nutrition Managers (Food Service Managers)- $28.97, State Education Agency Finance Officer (Financial Analyst)- $34.56, Principal (Education administrators, elementary and secondary)- $38.21, and FSMC Manager (General and Operations Managers)- $40.53. The hourly wages calculated are the mean of the average hourly wage rate for each area, except for "Education Administrators, All Other" in Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the rate was not available. Outlying area principal wages were calculated by dividing total annual salaries by 2,080 work hours per year (40-hour weeks for 52 weeks). The hourly wage rate for respondents for the limited data collection in outlying areas is reported for Puerto Rico only, and includes SFA Director, LEA Business Manager, Superintendent or State Child Nutrition Director- (Education Administrators, All Other)- $47.18. Average hourly wage rates used for the outlying areas are reported in: Bureau of Labor Statistics, State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, May 2018 (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcst.htm). To account for a fully-loaded wage rate, an additional 33 percent was added to the hourly wage.

For data collection documents that are grouped together for individual data collection activities, the sum of the burden on the associated documents equals the cumulative burden shown in this table.

CN = child nutrition; FSMC = food service management company; LEA = local educational agency; N/A = not applicable; SEA = State Education Agency; SFA = school food authority; SNM = school nutrition manager.
