To provide each State agency with funds for its administrative expense in managing Child Nutrition Programs.
This is a revision of a currently approved information collection. There is a program adjustment of a decrease of -1,258 (870 ARRA +388 Program Changes) total burden hours. There is a program adjustment of a decrease of -870 burden hours due to the removal of the requirement to track funds of the 2009 and 2010 reporting periods for ARRA. There was a program net decrease of -388. Also, there is a program adjustment of an increase of 492 burden hours due to the increase in the number of respondents. Therefore, there is a program adjustment net decrease of -1,258 burden hours to the current OMB approved 14,783 burden hours which results in 13,525 total burden hours (14,783 Â 1,285=13,525).
