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
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
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.
