assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of this 
notification. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Child Nutrition Database.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0494.
    Summary of Collection: The Child Nutrition (CN) Database is a 
necessary component in implementation of USDA's Food and Nutrition 
Service (FNS) National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast 
(SBP): The regulations (7 CFR 210.10) require state agencies to conduct 
a nutrient analysis of school lunches and breakfast as part of 
administrative review to monitor compliance with the specifications for 
certain nutrients. The CN Database provides the SFAs with the necessary 
nutrient information for this purpose.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information on 
(1) USDA commodities; (2) USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference 
food items which are used in the SBP and NSLP; (3) quantity recipes for 
school food service developed by USDA; and (4) brand name commercially 
processed foods. State agencies ability to conduct a weighted nutrient 
analysis of the reimbursable meals for administrative review is 
dependent upon availability of CN database. The information gathered 
for the CN Database is required to be used in software programs 
approved by USDA for use in meeting the nutrient standards and 
nutrition goals of the Child Nutrition Programs. Both the State 
agencies and program operators use the information for auditing and 
menu planning purposes. If the information is not collected or updated 
regularly for the CN Database, the nutrient data will become less 
useful to program operators, causing them to rely on their vendor for 
required nutritional information.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 32.
    Frequency of Responses: Report: Other (as needed).
    Total Burden Hours: 2,240.
