State Agency Child Nutrition Director COVID-19 Waiver Collection

Waivers Used in School Year 2021–2022



Sponsored by:

U.S. Department of Agriculture

Food and Nutrition Service

The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is collecting this information to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected school food authority (SFA) operations and finances and to satisfy State agencies’ congressionally mandated reporting requirements for the COVID-19 nationwide waivers pursuant to section 2202 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (P.L. 116-127). This is a mandatory collection for State agencies and SFAs. FNS will use the information to assess how the waivers improved services to children and to inform FNS’s planning, policy, and guidance related to state and local meal service operations. Because the personally identifiable information (PII) requested under this collection will not be used to retrieve survey records or data, requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 do not apply. Responses will be kept private to the extent provided by law and FNS regulations. 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 0584-0607. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 6 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. 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 Service, Office of Policy Support, 1320 Braddock Place, 5th Floor, Alexandria, VA 22314, ATTN: PRA (0584-0607).

Introduction

Intro.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), has contracted with Mathematica to conduct the School Meals Operations (SMO) Study. This survey is collecting information on the statutory reporting requirements for the 14 nationwide COVID-19 Child Nutrition waivers that FNS authorized for use during School Year (SY) 2021-2022 due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and pursuant to the authority in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.



These waivers apply to the following Child Nutrition Programs:

  • National School Lunch Program (NSLP)

  • School Breakfast Program (SBP)

  • Seamless Summer Option (SSO)

  • Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)*



Federal statute requires each State Agency that oversees these programs to report on:

  1. The use of each waiver by the State Agency and local program operators, and

  2. A description of whether and how each waiver resulted in improved services to children.


* This study is focused on Child Nutrition Programs and is not collecting information on use of the waivers for CACFP operations in adult day care centers.

Because this is a mandatory information collection, your State Agency must answer all questions regarding each nationwide waiver that was used in SY 2021-2022. Full participation in the SMO Study will satisfy your State Agency’s reporting requirements for the nationwide COVID-19 Child Nutrition waivers used in SY 2021-2022.

The final section of this survey includes questions about State Agency challenges administering the Child Nutrition Programs during SY 2021-2022. FNS is seeking this information to inform future Child Nutrition Program policy, procedures, and guidance.

The information you provide about yourself and other individuals in your organizations will be kept private to the full extent allowed by law. This means that your personal information will be kept private and not associated with any of your responses about your agencies’ operations. The responses you provide about operations may be tabulated by State so that the public will be able to determine how your agency operates within the Child Nutrition Programs.

We thank you in advance for your time and cooperation in this important study. If you have any questions about the study, please email [email protected] or call Mathematica toll-free at 833-440-9475.
