OVERVIEW OF MAJOR STEPS
	Below are the five major steps performed for each of the 35 cycles during the 20XX Summer Food Site Finder season. More detailed information can be found at the Summer Food PartnerWeb site: https://partnerweb.usda.gov/sites/CNP/SF-SummerRocks-states
	Step 1: Review template and supporting material for 20XX			Use this excel file together with the 20XX FNS-905 Template excel file. The FNS-905 template is a "data template" for submitting sites to FNS. It is in the format needed to successfully upload data into the Summer Site Finder and Capacity Builder. Please read through this guide to ensure your data will meet validation requirements. Submit questions to [email protected]. This guide describes how each column in the template is used. Please review this guide and the data template. Instructions and data fields have been clarified.	Communicate to FNS via email: [email protected] .................................................................. Visit the Portal to access this material any time, and to see the status of your state throughout the cycles over the course of 20XX. https://partnerweb.usda.gov/sites/CNP/SF-SummerRocks-states ................................................................. You'll find the USPS addressing standards at this site: http://pe.usps.gov/cpim/ftp/pubs/Pub28/pub28.pdf
	Step 2: Baseline/add new data for 20XX			Please complete all REQUIRED fields. NEW: COMMENTS WILL BE PUBLIC. Stakeholder feedback indicated that directions and other information would be useful to share with the public here. Morning and Afternoon Snack times are now in two columns to ease confusion. X and Y coordinates can now be completed by States. Stakeholders indicated this would be easier for them and help improve site location on the Summer Site Finder.
	Step 3: Review results/feedback			FNS will notify you once you have successfully processed through an entire cycle. If some, but not all, sites succeeded all the way through, we can provide you with a list of the sites that did not pass. You can resubmit those in a future cycle with corrections. New: Common issues now highlight the issue in the form allowing you to correct it. The "Custom Sort" option under "Sort & Filter" will allow you to sort by cell color and display those highlighted cells first, making it easier to correct errors.
	Step 4: Submit Cycle updates (after the first successful upload in Step 2)			PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS YEAR WHEN SUBMITTING CYCLE UPDATES, ONLY SUBMIT NEW SITES or SITES THAT HAVE BEEN CORRECTED/UPDATED. DO NOT RESUBMIT SITES THAT HAVE SUCCESSFULLY UPLOADED THIS YEAR. We can give you this list of passed/failed sites at your request. Steps 4 and 5 are "Cycle runs" where you can submit new sites. Once you have successfully submitted an initial site list, you can submit new data during cycles at any time, as needed.
	Step 5: Review			same as Step 3.
