Percentage Validation Worksheet (SFA-2A)

This information is being collected from State agencies, school food authorities, schools. This is a revision of a
currently approved information collection. The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) 42 U.S.C. §
1758, as amended, authorizes the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). This information is required to
administer and operate this program in accordance with the NSLA. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, any personally
identifying information obtained will be kept private to the extent of the law. According to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this
information collection is 0584-0006. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to
average 47.5 hours of reporting burden per response. The burden consists of the time it takes for the State agency
to conduct the off-site portion of the review which includes scheduling of the review and the completion of the
Off-site Assessment, Resource Management Risk Indicator, and Site Selection Tools. Send comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services, Office of Policy Support, 3101 Park
Center Drive, Room 1014, Alexandria, VA 22302, ATTN: PRA (0584-0006). Do not return the completed form to

that do not participate in CEP.
Groups of Schools: If a school selected for review is approved for CEP based on
a group of schools then the SA should review the ISP and claiming percentages
