This is a revision of a currently
approved information collection in support of a final rule, Child
Nutrition Programs: Meal Patterns Consistent with the 2020-2025
Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The rule allows SFSP sponsors,
including non-profit institutions and camps, that serve primarily
American Indian or Alaska Native children to serve vegetables to
meet the grains requirement. The Summer Food Service Program
provides assistance to states to initiate and maintain nonprofit
food service programs for needy children during the summer months
and at other approved times. The collection of information is
required to administer and operate SFSP in accordance with the
National School Lunch Act.

This information collection is
currently approved with 63,942 respondents, 391,795 responses,
462,699 burden hours, and no annualized costs. The final rule,
Child Nutrition Programs: Meal Patterns Consistent with the
2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (RIN 0584-AE88) is
adding a new recordkeeping requirement for the menu planning option
for the Tribal communities. The final rule is also introducing
start-up costs related to menu changes. FNS estimates that this
final rule will add 20 responses, 25 burden hours, and $10,000 in
costs due to a program change. Once the final rule provisions are
incorporated into the collection, FNS estimates that the collection
will 63,942 respondents (no change), 391,815 responses, 462,724
burden hours, and $10,000 in annualized costs.
