Abstract: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is conducting the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) Integrity Study to gain insight into how State agencies, SFSP sponsor organizations, and SFSP sites administer and oversee the program. The study will also seek to identify potential barriers to ensuring the integrity and effective management of the SFSP. This non-substantive request concerns minor updates to the State Director Web Survey and the Sponsor Interview Guide to account for the impact of COVID-19 on SFSP operations; improve the clarity of two questions for respondents; and obtain more specific information about State system capability and reporting. These updates will not affect the burden for respondents.
