Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Report of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Issuance
and Report of Commodity Distribution for Disaster Relief.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0037.
Summary of Collection: Disaster assistance through the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is authorized by sections 402 and
502 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the temporary emergency provisions
contained in Section 5 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, and in 7
CFR part 280 of the SNAP regulations. This program is initiated in a
SNAP project area by FNS when all or part of the area has been affected
by a disaster. Food distribution in a disaster situation is authorized
under Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935. Surplus foods are made
available by State distributing agencies for relief purposes to victims
of natural disaster such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, etc.
Distribution to these recipients is made primarily through such
organizations as the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army. These
organizations use surplus foods for both central feeding operations and
for distribution to families in homes cut off from normal sources of
food supply.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information
through the use of form FNS-292-A and B, which is used to monitor
program activity, assess coverage provided to recipients, and assure
the validity of requested commodity reimbursement and to prepare budget
requests. If the information were not collected, FNS would be unable to
monitor the issuance of SNAP benefits and the distribution of surplus
foods during disaster situations.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 9.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Child Nutrition Database.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0494.
Summary of Collection: The Child Nutrition Database (CNDB) is
required under 7 CFR 210.10(i)(4) to be part of all the nutrient
analysis software approved by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in implementation
of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast
Program (SBP). This database is designed to be incorporated into USDA-
approved nutrient analysis software and is used to provide an accurate
source of nutrient data. The software allows schools participating in
the NSLP and the SBP to analyze meals and measure the compliance of the
menus to established nutrition goals and standards specified in 7 CFR
210.10 for the NSLP and 7 CFR 220.8 for the SBP. The CNDB is updated
annually with brand name or manufactured foods commonly used in school
food service. Form FNS-710 CN Database Qualification Report is used to
collect the nutrient data from the food industry. The form is available
as a paper form, through an online Web Tool, or as a spreadsheet.
Need and Use of the Information: State agencies use the CNDB to
obtain the nutrient data for foods typically used in school recipes and
menus, as well as for food products that are marketed to schools by
food manufacturers. This data is necessary for the State agencies to
monitor their compliance with the dietary specifications for calories,
saturated fat, and sodium and to conduct the nutrient analysis of
school lunches and breakfasts required by administrative reviews. The
CNDB contains nutrient composition data for: (1) Food items from the
USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR); (2)
standardized recipes for Child Nutrition Programs developed by FNS; (3)
brand name commercially processed foods; and (4) USDA Foods
(commodities).
Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.

Total Burden Hours: 2,240.
