The Program is administered at the State and school food authority (SFA) levels and the operations include the submission and approval of applications, execution of agreements, submission of claims, payment of claims, and program monitoring. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service administers these Programs.

Short Statement: This collection is currently approved with 9,873,218 burden hours and 49,756,388 responses. Since the Final Rule titled "Local School Wellness Policy Implementation under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010" has published, FNS is merging the burden from its associated information collection, OMB # 0584-0592 into this collection, which adds 156,923 burden hours and 66,073 responses to the collection resulting from a program change. In addition, FNS-640 and its associated reporting burden is being removed from the collection since this form is now collected electronically through the Food Program Reporting System. This removes 140 burden hours and 56 responses from this collection resulting from a program change. With these changes, FNS estimates an overall increase of 156,782 burden hours and 66,017 responses for this collection. Upon approval, this collection will have 10,030,000 burden hours and 49,822,405 responses.
