Food Nutrition Service
Title: Forms FNS-806-A, Claim for Reimbursement (National School
Lunch and School Breakfast Programs), and FNS-806-B, Claim for
Reimbursement (School Milk Program for Children), 7 CFR part 210, part
220, and part 215.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0284.
Summary of Collection: Section 3(a)(10) of the Child Nutrition Act
of 1966, as amended, requires that State educational agencies to funds
paid to the State during any fiscal year for the purposes of carrying
out provisions of the Special Milk Program (SMP) in accordance with
agreements approved by the Secretary. Section 4 of the Child Nutrition
Act, as amended authorizes payments to the States to assist them to
initiate, maintain, or expand nonprofit breakfast programs in schools,
namely the School Breakfast Program (SBP). Section 3 of the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA), as amended, authorizes funds
for States to operate the National School Lunch Program. To fulfill the
reimbursement requirements set forth in NSLP, SBP, and SMP regulations
issued by the Secretary of Agriculture (& CFR 210.8, 215.10 and
220.11), the meal and milk data must be collected on forms FNS-806A and
806B respectively.
Need and Use of the Information: The information is collected
electronically from school food authorities that participate in NSLP,
School Breakfast Program (SBP), and SMP programs. The forms contain
meal and cost data collected from authorized program participants.
Also, these forms are essential part of the accounting system used by
the subject programs to ensure proper reimbursement. This information
is collected monthly because of the constant fluctuation in school
enrollment and program participation. Program participants would not
receive the monthly reimbursement earned and the Agency would lose
program accountability, if this information were collect less
frequently.
