Appendix D. Household Income Statement Template

This information is being collected from households to confirm the household income eligibility
of children and adults that receive free or reduced-price meals through the Child and Adult Care
Food Program (CACFP). Section 17 of the National School Lunch Act, as amended (42 U.S.C.
1766), authorizes the CACFP. This collection is required to obtain or retain benefits and the
Food and Nutrition Service uses the information collected to enable institutions participating in
the CACFP to claim the reimbursement to which they are entitled by law. The information
collected is essential to conduct reviews that determine whether or not institutions are observing
the requirements of the Program established by regulations and statute. In addition, the
information collection is necessary for administering agencies to monitor these operations to
ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements. 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
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The valid OMB control number for
this information collection is 0584-0055. The time required to complete this information
collection is estimated to average approximately 5 minutes (0.0835 hours) per response. The
burden consists of the time it takes for households to complete their application. 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, 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314, ATTN: PRA
(0584-0055). Do not return a completed form to this address.
