Title: Study of Nutrition and Activity 

in Child Care Settings II (SNACS–II). 

Form Number: N/A. 

OMB Number: Not Yet Assigned. 

Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined. 

Type of Request: New Collection. 

Abstract: The Child and Adult Care 

Food Program (CACFP), administered 

by the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) Food and Nutrition Service 

(FNS), provides reimbursement for 

nutritious meals and snacks served to 

eligible children enrolled in 

participating child care programs. 

Reimbursable meals and snacks must 

meet CACFP’s meal pattern 

requirements. 

SNACS–II is the second 

comprehensive, nationally 

representative assessment of CACFP 

providers and the infants, children, and 

teens they serve. It will update the 

picture of the CACFP after updated meal 

pattern requirements went into effect in 

October 2017. Under the updated 

requirements, CACFP meals and snacks 

must include a wider variety of fruits 

and vegetables, more whole grains, and 

less added sugar and saturated fat. The 

updated requirements are also designed 

to encourage breastfeeding. 

SNACS–II will collect data in program 

year 2022–2023 to address eight broad 

objectives: (1) CACFP provider 

characteristics, (2) nutritional quality of 

foods offered, (3) children’s dietary 

intakes, (4) children’s physical activity 

and household characteristics, (5) 

CACFP plate waste, (6) teens’ physical 

activity and household characteristics, 

(7) infants’ dietary intakes and physical 

activity while in care, and (8) the cost 

to produce CACFP meals and snacks. 

SNACS–II will largely replicate the 

methods used in the first Study of 

Nutrition and Activity in Child Care 

Settings because comparing key 

outcomes at the two points in time is an 

important focus of the study. SNACS–II 

will collect data from nationally 

representative samples of CACFP 

providers, including family day care 

homes, child care centers, Head Start 

centers, at-risk afterschool centers, and 

outside-school-hours care centers; 

infants, children, and teens; and 

parents/guardians. To address the array 

of research questions under the eight 

study objectives, the data collection 

activities to be undertaken subject to 

this notice include the following: 

• The Provider Survey and 

Environmental Observation Form will 

be used to describe the characteristics of 

CACFP providers. 

• The Menu Survey will be used to 

assess the nutritional quality of foods 

offered. 

• The Meal Observation Booklet and 

the Automated Self-Administered 24- 

Hour dietary recall interview (ASA24) 

will be used to describe children’s 

dietary intakes. 

• The Parent Interview and Height 

and Weight Form collect data on 

children’s physical activity and 

household characteristics. 

• The Food and Physical Activity 

Experiences Survey and Teen Parent 

Interview collect data on teens’ physical 

activity and household characteristics. 

• The Infant Menu Survey will be 

used to assess the nutrition quality of 

foods offered to infants. The Infant 

Intake Form collect information on 

infants’ dietary intakes while in care. 

• The Pre-Visit Cost Interview, PreVisit Cost Form, Sponsor/Center Cost 

Interview, Center Director Cost 

Interview, Center Food Service Cost 

Interview, and Self-Administered Cost 

Questionnaire collect information on
