Abstract: Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-
642), 42 U.S.C. 1776, authorizes the Department to provide Federal
funds to State agencies (SAs) for administering the Child Nutrition
Programs (7 CFR parts 210, 215, 220, 226 and 250). State Administrative
Expense Funds (SAE), 7 CFR part 235, sets forth procedures and
recordkeeping requirements for use by SAs in reporting and maintaining
records of their needs and uses of SAE funds. The reporting and
recordkeeping burden associated with this revision is summarized in the
charts below. The number of SAs participating in the CN programs
decreased from 88 to 87 resulting in a decrease of 2 reporting burden
hours and a decrease of 104 recordkeeping burden hours. A program
adjustment to increase a recordkeeping requirement resulted in an
increase of 129 burden hours for a net increase of (+23) total burden
hours associated with this revision.
