Appendix E.2
FNS-418 Administrative Data Request for FY 2021 and FY 2022

NOTE TO REVIEWER: As noted in the supporting statement, each State agency will be asked for site-level administrative data first. If they do not have the data available at this level, they will be asked for sponsor-level data. They will not be asked to provide data at both levels, but both are provided here for reference.

Exhibit C: Request for Site-Level FNS-418 Data

We are asking each State to provide site-level administrative records data based on the data your State submitted for the FNS-418, Report of the Summer Food Service Program for Children, for Federal fiscal year (FY) [2021/2022] (October [2020/2021] through September [2021/2022]). Providing these data, along with the other administrative and survey data requested as part of this study, will satisfy reporting requirements in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) related to the COVID-19 Child Nutrition waivers approved by FNS.

Please provide the FNS-418 Report of the Summer Food Service Program for Children at the site level for FY [2021/2022]. Table 1 at the end of this document shows all the data elements we are requesting for each site. Although some of these data are reported to FNS annually, we are requesting monthly data for each section of the FNS-418 form.

Please provide the data in whatever format is easiest for you. For example, you could provide separate files for each month or a single Excel file with separate tabs for each month.

In addition to the FNS-418 data, for each site please provide:

  • Site name

  • Site ID number

  • Site City

  • Site zip code

  • Indicator of whether the site is a self-prep/rural site or “other” site

  • Sponsor name

  • Sponsor ID number

  • Indicator of whether the sponsor is a school, government, residential camp, national youth sports program, or non-profit private sponsor

  • Indicator of whether site operates as an open or closed site

  • Indicator of whether the site was established under the Area Eligibility Waiver



Data delivery timeline

Please provide the data file for FY [2021/2022] by March 31, [2022/2023].

Data delivery and storage

We will provide a secure data transfer site to receive the data file(s). We can accept data in any standard format. We will store the data in a secure project directory where only those working with the data will have access.
