This information is required to administer, operate and document results and compliance of the general and special cash assistance and donations of foods States and participating schools receive for the National School Lunch Program.
This is a revision of a currently approved collection. As a result of program adjustments, this revision will reduce 50,635 burden hours in the OMB information collection inventory. This change is mainly due to reduction in number of State agencies operating the program, and other adjustments transferred to FNS -10 (burden captured in OMB#0584-0002, expiration 8/31/2012) and commodity schools (burden is not applicable as there are no commodity schools).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
