Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: School Foodservice Indirect Cost Study.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 
(Pub. L. 111-296), requires USDA to conduct a study to assess the 
extent to which school food authorities (SFAs) participating in the 
National School Lunch and Breakfast Program pay indirect costs. The 
objective of the School Foodservice Indirect Cost Study is to collect 
and analyze up-to-date data on school districts' policies and 
procedures for reporting and recovering indirect costs attributable to 
their foodservice operations. The ultimate goal of the study is to 
provide USDA and Congress the necessary information to assess the 
extent to which school districts identify, treat, and charge indirect 
costs attributable to their foodservice operations.
    Need and Use of the Information: The study will help the Food and 
Nutrition Service understand the extent to which current regulations 
are being followed and if there is a need for additional regulations 
and/or legislation to ensure that school districts treat indirect costs 
in the same manner across all of their grant programs. Without the 
information FNS will not have the data necessary to address the 
questions posed by Congress.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, 
Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 5,118.
    Frequency of Responses: Report: Other (one-time).
    Total Burden Hours: 3,159.
