ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice invites the general public and public agencies to comment on a
proposed information collection. This collection is a new collection
for maintaining the National Disqualified List of institutions, day
care home providers, and individuals that have been terminated or
otherwise disqualified from Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
participation. These federal requirements affect eligibility under the
CACFP. The State Agencies will be required to enter data as
institutions and individuals become disqualified from participating in
the CACFP. The new collection is the result of a FNS web-based system
constructed to update and maintain the list of disqualified
institutions and individuals so that no State agency or sponsoring
organization may approve any entity on the National Disqualified List
to ensure the integrity of the Program.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted by May 6, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions that were used; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of collection of information on those
who are to respond, including use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
Comments may be sent to: Jon Garcia, Acting Branch Chief, Program
Analysis and Monitoring Branch, Child Nutrition Division, Food and
Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 3101 Park Center
Drive, Room 640, Alexandria, Virginia 22302. Comments will also be
accepted through the Federal eRulemaking Portal. Go to http://www.regulations.gov, and follow the online instructions for submitting

(8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) at 3101 Park Center Drive,
Room 640, Alexandria, Virginia 22302.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval, and will
become a matter of public record.

Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service administers the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1771, et seq.). Section
243(c) of Public Law 106-224, the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of
2000, amended section 17(d)(5) of the Richard B. Russell National

the Department of Agriculture to maintain a list of institutions, day
care
[[Page 14765]]
home providers, and individuals that have been terminated or otherwise
disqualified from Child and Adult Care Food Program participation. The
law also requires the Department to make the list available to State
agencies for their use in reviewing applications to participate and to
sponsoring organizations to ensure that they do not employ as
principals any persons who are disqualified from the program. New forms
FNS-843 and FNS-844 will be used to collect and maintain this data.
This statutory mandate has been incorporated into Sec. 226.6(c)(7) of
the Program regulations. In addition, the recordkeeping burden
associated with maintaining documentation related to institutions and
providers terminated for cause at the State agency level is captured
under the Information Collection for the CACFP OMB Control Number 0584-
0055, expiration date 8/31/2013. Therefore, there is no recordkeeping
burden associated with this collection.
Affected Public: State Agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 56.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 28.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 1,568.
Estimate Time per Response: .50.
