601–612) and thus is exempt from the 

provisions of that Act. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), 

no recordkeeping or reporting 

requirements have been included that 

are subject to approval from the Office 

of Management and Budget. 

This notice has been determined to be 

not significant and was not reviewed by 

the Office of Management and Budget in 

conformance with Executive Order 

12866. 

The affected programs are listed in the 

Assistance Listings (https://

beta.sam.gov/) under No. 10.553, No. 

10.555, No. 10.556, No. 10.558, and No. 

10.559 and are subject to the provisions 

of Executive Order 12372, which 

requires intergovernmental consultation 

with State and local officials. (See 2 CFR 

part 415). 

Background 

Pursuant to sections 9(b)(1) and 

17(c)(4) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 

1758(b)(1) and 42 U.S.C. 1766(c)(4)), 

and sections 3(a)(6) and 4(e)(1)(A) of the 

Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 

1772(a)(6) and 1773(e)(1)(A)), the 

Department annually issues the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines for free and 

reduced price meals for the National 

School Lunch Program (7 CFR part 210), 

the Commodity School Program (7 CFR 

part 210), School Breakfast Program (7 

CFR part 220), Summer Food Service 

Program (7 CFR part 225) and Child and 

Adult Care Food Program (7 CFR part 

226) and the guidelines for free milk in 

the Special Milk Program for Children 

(7 CFR part 215). These eligibility 

guidelines are based on the Federal 

income poverty guidelines and are 

stated by household size. The guidelines 

are used to determine eligibility for free 

and reduced price meals and free milk 

in accordance with applicable program 

rules. 

Definition of Income 

In accordance with the Department’s 

policy as provided in the Food and 

Nutrition Service publication Eligibility 

Manual for School Meals, ‘‘income,’’ as 

the term is used in this notice, means 

income before any deductions such as 

income taxes, Social Security taxes, 

insurance premiums, charitable 

contributions, and bonds. It includes the 

following: (1) Monetary compensation 

for services, including wages, salary, 

commissions or fees; (2) net income 

from nonfarm self-employment; (3) net 

income from farm self-employment; (4) 

Social Security; (5) dividends or interest 

on savings or bonds or income from 

estates or trusts; (6) net rental income; 

(7) public assistance or welfare 

payments; (8) unemployment 

compensation; (9) government civilian 

employee or military retirement, or 

pensions or veterans payments; (10) 

private pensions or annuities; (11) 

alimony or child support payments; (12) 

regular contributions from persons not 

living in the household; (13) net 

royalties; and (14) other cash income. 

Other cash income would include cash 

amounts received or withdrawn from 

any source including savings, 

investments, trust accounts and other 

resources that would be available to pay 

the price of a child’s meal. 

‘‘Income’’, as the term is used in this 

notice, does not include any income or 

benefits received under any Federal 

programs that are excluded from 

consideration as income by any 

statutory prohibition. Furthermore, the 

value of meals or milk to children shall 

not be considered as income to their 

households for other benefit programs 

in accordance with the prohibitions in 

section 12(e) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act and section 

11(b) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 

(42 U.S.C. 1760(e) and 1780(b)). 

The Income Eligibility Guidelines 

The following are the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines to be effective 

from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. 

The Department’s guidelines for free 

meals and milk and reduced price meals 

were obtained by multiplying the year 

2021 Federal income poverty guidelines 

by 1.30 and 1.85, respectively, and by 

rounding the result upward to the next 

whole dollar. 

This notice displays only the annual 

Federal poverty guidelines issued by the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services because the monthly and 

weekly Federal poverty guidelines are 

not used to determine the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines. The chart details 

the free and reduced price eligibility 

criteria for monthly income, income 

received twice monthly (24 payments 

per year); income received every two 

weeks (26 payments per year) and 

weekly income. 

Income calculations are made based 

on the following formulas: Monthly 

income is calculated by dividing the 

annual income by 12; twice monthly 

income is computed by dividing annual 

income by 24; income received every 

two weeks is calculated by dividing 

annual income by 26; and weekly 

income is computed by dividing annual 

income by 52. All numbers are rounded 

upward to the next whole dollar. The 

numbers reflected in this notice for a 

family of four in the 48 contiguous 

States, the District of Columbia, Guam 

and the territories represent an increase 

of 1.1 percent over last year’s level for 

a family of the same size. 

Authority: Section 9(b)(1) of the Richard 

B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 

U.S.C. 1758(b)(1)(A)).

(PRA), the Architectural and 

Transportation Barriers Compliance 

Board (Access Board) has submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for renewal of its

202–272–0041 (voice). Email: spiegel@

access-board.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Under the PRA and its implementing 

regulations (5 CFR part 1320), Federal 

agencies must generally provide 

opportunities for public comment and 

obtain OMB approval for each collection 

of information they conduct or sponsor 

(e.g., contractually-required information 

collection by a third-party). ‘‘Collection 

of information’’ refers to agency 

informational requests that pose 

identical questions to, or impose 

reporting or record-keeping obligations 

on, ten or more non-federal entities or 

persons, regardless of whether response 

is mandatory or voluntary. See 5 CFR 

1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C. 3502(3). 

In December 2020, the Access Board 

published a 60-day notice concerning 

the proposed renewal of its existing 

generic clearance for the collection of 

qualitative feedback, which expires in 

May 2021 (OMB Control No. 3014– 

0011). 82 FR 37421 (Aug. 10, 2017). We 

received no comments in response to 

this 60-day notice. 

B. Overview of Requested Generic 

Clearance Renewal 

By this notice, the Access Board 

announces that it has requested OMB 

renewal of our existing generic 

clearance so that we may continue 

ongoing efforts to solicit qualitative 

customer feedback on agency programs 

and services. OMB approval is 

requested for three years. Provided 

below is an overview of the existing 

generic clearance for which the Access 

Board seeks renewal: 

OMB Control Number: 3014–0011. 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change. 

Abstract: The proposed information 

collection activity facilitates collection 

of qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner, 

in accordance with the Federal 

Government’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information collections that provide 

useful insights on perceptions and 

opinions but are not statistical surveys 

that yield quantitative results that can 

be generalized to the population of 

study. This feedback will provide 

insight into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences and 

expectations, provide an early warning 

of issues with service, or focus attention 

on areas where communication, 

training, or changes in operations might 

improve delivery of services. These 

collections will allow for ongoing, 

collaborative, and actionable 

communications between the Access 

Board and its customers and 

stakeholders.
