Comments regarding this information collection received by

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: CACFP National Disqualified List--Forms FNS-843 and FNS-844.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0584.
Summary of Collection: Section 17 of the National School Lunch Act,
as amended (42 U.S.C. 1766), authorizes the Child and Adult Care Food
Program (CACFP). 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 School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1766(d)(5)(E)(i)
and (ii)) by requiring the Department of Agriculture to maintain a list
of institutions, day care home providers, and individuals that have
been terminated or otherwise disqualified from CACFP participation. The
law also requires the Department to make the list available to State
agencies
[[Page 58470]]
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. This
statutory mandate has been incorporated into Sec. 226.6(c)(7) of the
Program regulations.
Need and Use of the Information: The Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) uses forms FNS-843 Report of Disqualification from
Participation--Institution and Responsible Principals/Individuals and
FNS-844 Report of Disqualification from Participation--Individually
Disqualified Responsible Principal/Individual or Day Care Home Provider
to collect and maintain the disqualification data. The State agencies
use these forms, which are accessed through a web-based National
Disqualification List system, to collect the contact information and
the disqualification information and reasons on all individuals and
institutions that have been disqualified and are therefore ineligible
to participate in CACFP. The information is collected from State
agencies as the disqualifications occur so that the list is kept
current. By maintaining this list, the Department ensures program
integrity by making the list available to sponsoring organizations and
State agencies so that no one who has been disqualified can participate
in CACFP. Without this data collection, State agencies and sponsoring
organizations would have no way of knowing if an applicant has been
disqualified from participating in CACFP in another State.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 56.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Other (as needed).
Total Burden Hours: 784.
