This is a new information collection
in support of the Final rule, "Child Nutrition Program Integrity"
(RIN 0584-AE08). The final rule codifies changes based on
amendments to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act
(NSLA) and aims to strengthen program integrity across the Child
Nutrition Programs.
This new information collection
(assigned OMB Control Number 0584-0610 at the time of the proposed
rule) is requested in support of the final rule, "Child Nutrition
Program Integrity" (RIN 0584-AE08). FNS estimates that this new
collection will have 46,997 respondents, 225,205 responses, and
190,924 burden hours. Once OMB has approved the information
collection package for this final rule and the information
collection submissions for the impacted existing collections have
been completed, FNS plans to merge the information collection
requirements and associated burden into the impacted existing
collections for OMB Control Numbers 0584-0006, 0584-0280, and
0584-0055. OMB Control Number 0584-0006 is currently approved with
9,808,454 burden hours and 47,631,996 responses. FNS estimates that
this final rule will decrease the burden by 14,734 hours, to
9,793,720 hours, but it will increase the responses by 21,666
responses, to 47,653,662 responses. OMB Control Number 0584-0280 is
currently approved with 462,699 burden hours and 391,795 responses.
FNS estimates that the final rule will increase the burden hours by
81 hours, to 462,780 hours and will increase the responses by 63
responses, to 391,858 responses. OMB Control Number 0584-0055 is
currently approved with 4,213,211 burden hour, 16,213,093
responses, and 0 annualized costs. FNS estimates that this final
rule will increase the burden hours by 22,191 hours, to 4,235,402
hours and will increase the responses by 115,171 responses, to
16,328,264 responses. In addition, FNS estimates that this final
rule will add system upgrade and annual maintenance costs related
to some of the rule provisions, given the wide variation in MIS
development and maintenance costs across State agencies in CACFP.
FNS estimates that $2,856,000 in combined system upgrade and annual
maintenance costs will be added to the burden for OMB Control
Number 0584-0055 as a result of this rule.
