Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Evaluation of the Impact of the 

Summer Electronic Benefits for 

Children Household-Based 

Demonstration on Food Insecurity. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: In the 2010 

Agriculture Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 

111–80), Section 749(g), Congress 

authorized demonstration projects to 

develop and test methods of providing 

access to food for low-income children 

in urban and rural areas during the 

summer months when schools are not in 

regular session, as well as a rigorous 

independent evaluation of the projects 

regarding their effectiveness. The data 

being collected under this submission 

are necessary to meet the 

Congressionally-mandated requirement 

for an independent evaluation of the 

Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer 

(SEBT) for Children Demonstration 

being conducted by the Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) under this 

authorizing legislation. The evaluation 

of these projects is intended to provide 

policymakers with clear, rigorous and 

timely findings to make decisions about 

potential changes to federal summer 

feeding programs during the next Child 

Nutrition reauthorization cycle. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

information gathered in the data 

collection activities will be used by FNS 

to determine if SEBT for children 

reduces the acute prevalence of very 

low food security among children 

during the summer months when most 

children are not in school; and to 

determine the feasibility and cost of 

implementing SEBT for children on a 

national scale. Without the information 

FNS will not have the data necessary to 

estimate program impacts on 

participating children, or to examine 

how the demonstration sites 

implemented SEBT for children, which 

will be used to produce the required 

report to Congress and inform future 

program decisions. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or household; State, Local 

or Tribal Government; Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 15,382. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Quarterly; Annually; Biennially. 

Total Burden Hours: 15,974.
