Title: FNS–143, Claim for

Expiration Date: August 31, 2009. 

Type of Request: Revision of a

Abstract: The Summer Food Service 

Program Claim for Reimbursement, 

Form FNS–143, is used to collect data 

on the number of meals served and cost 

data from sponsoring organizations 

whose participation in this program is 

administered directly by the Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) Regional Office, 

commonly known as Regional Office 

Administered Program (ROAP). The 

FNS Regional Office directly 

administers participation of the Summer 

Food Service Program (SFSP) for 

sponsoring organizations in Virginia. In 

order to determine the amount of 

reimbursement sponsoring 

organizations are entitled to receive for 

meals served, they must complete the 

form. The completed forms are either 

sent to the Child Nutrition Payments 

Center at the FNS Mid-Atlantic Regional 

Office where they are entered into an 

electronic payment system or 

sponsoring organizations may submit 

forms electronically via the Internet 

directly into the Child Nutrition 

Payments Center. The payment system 

computes earned reimbursement. 

Earned reimbursement in the SFSP is 

based on performance and is 

determined by comparing an assigned 

rate for operations and for 

administration per meal served to actual 

operational and administrative costs. To 

fulfill the earned reimbursement 

requirements set forth in SFSP 

regulations issued by the Secretary of 

Agriculture at 7 CFR 225.9, the meal 

and cost data must be collected on the 

FNS–143. 

The form is an intrinsic part of the 

accounting system currently being used 

by the subject program to ensure proper 

reimbursement as well as to facilitate 

adequate recordkeeping. 

Respondents: The respondents are 

sponsoring organizations participating 

in the SFSP under the auspices of the 

FNS ROAP. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

121. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent:: 3. 

Estimated Hours per Response: .5. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

181.5. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 181.5 hours. 

Dated: August 3, 2009.
