This is a revision of the currently
approved collection in support of a final rule, Child Nutrition
Programs: Meal Patterns Consistent with the 2020-2025 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans. The revisions are to the following
provisions within the School Breakfast Program: Buy American,
substituting vegetables for grains in Tribal communities, and menu
planning options, all recordkeeping requirements. The School
Breakfast Program is administered at the State, School Food
Authority, and school site levels and the operations include the
submission and approval of applications, execution of agreements,
maintenance of records, and compliance with 7 CFR Part
220.

This collection is currently
approved with 105,700 respondents, 33,102,536 responses, 3,736,676
burden hours, and no annualized costs. FNS is publishing a final
rule, Child Nutrition Programs: Meal Patterns Consistent with the
2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (RIN 0584-AE88) which is
adding new recordkeeping requirements for the Buy American
provision, menu planning option in Tribal Communities, and menu
development due to updated nutrition requirements. The final rule
has also created start-up and maintenance costs for extra supplies,
funding to implement the updated meal patterns, and costs for
updating websites, materials, menus, and recipes, but these costs
are covered under OMB Control 0584-0006 (since there is an overlap
between the two programs). FNS estimates that the final rule will
increase the burden for this collection by 359,742 responses and
299,832 hours due to a program change. Once the final rule
provisions are incorporated into the collection, FNS estimates that
the collection will have 105,700 respondents, 33,462,278 responses,
and 4,036,508 burden hours.
