SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 7 CFR part 226, Child and Adult Care Food Program.
OMB Number: 0584-0055.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2016.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 17 of the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (NSLA), as amended, (42 U.S.C. 1766), authorizes the CACFP to
provide cash reimbursement and commodity assistance, on a per meal
basis, for food service to children in nonresidential child care
centers and family day care homes, and to eligible adults in
nonresidential adult day care centers. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture, through the Food and Nutrition Service, has established
application, monitoring, and reporting requirements to manage the CACFP
effectively. The purpose of this submission to OMB is to obtain
approval to continue the discussed information collection. States and
service institutions participating in the CACFP will submit to FNS
account and record information reflecting their efforts to comply with
statutory and regulatory Program requirements. Examples of data
collected and reported with this collection include, but are not
limited to: applications and supporting documents; records of
enrollment; records supporting the free and reduced price eligibility
determinations; daily records indicating numbers of program
participants in attendance and the number of meals served by type and
category; and receipts, invoices and other records of CACFP costs and
documentation of non-profit operation of food service.
This is a revision of a currently approved collection. It revises
reporting burden as a result of increases in the number of sponsoring
organizations and facilities, and an increase in the number of enrolled
participants, who are required to submit information. It also adds a
new requirement for written documentation when requesting substitutions
for fluid milk or food components for participants with special non-
disability, dietary needs. This requirement is added by the regulation
Child and Adult Care Food Program: Meal Pattern Revisions Related to
the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, published April 25, 2016 to
7 CFR 226.20 (g) Exceptions and variations in reimbursable meals.
This revision removes two reporting requirements that had been
duplicated in the current burden estimate (i.e. counted twice), and one
typed error in the number of day care home sponsors, which reduce the
burden. Current OMB inventory for this collection consists of 2,234,840
hours. As a result of program changes and adjustments, program burden
was increased slightly by 236,715 hours since last renewal. The average
burden per response and the annual burden hours for reporting and
recordkeeping are explained below and summarized in the charts which
follow.
Affected Public: 56 State agencies, 21,052 Institutions, 180,740
facilities (includes 113,847, family day care homes and 66,893
sponsored center facilities) and 4,055,172 households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,257,020.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.824365.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 7,766,360.
Estimate Time per Response: 0.318238 hrs.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,471,555 hrs.
Current OMB Inventory for Part 226: 2,234,840 hrs.
Difference (change in burden with this renewal): 236,715 hrs.
