SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Titles: Forms FNS–806–A, Claim for

Reimbursement, (National School

Lunch, and School Breakfast Programs),

and FNS–806–B, Claim for

Type of Request: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: The NSLP, SBP and SMP

claims for reimbursement forms, FNS–

806–A and FNS–806–B, are used to

collect meal and cost data from school

food authorities whose participation in

these programs are administered

directly by FNS Regional Offices

(Regional Office Administered

Programs, or ROAP). In order to

determine the amount of reimbursement

school food authorities are entitled to

receive for meals and milk served, they

must complete these forms. The

completed forms are submitted to FNS’

Regional Offices where they are entered

into a computerized payment system.

The payment system computes earned

reimbursement.

Earned reimbursement in the NSLP,

SBP and SMP is based on performance

which is measured as an assigned rate

per meal or half pint of milk served,

with cost comparisons for free milk and

severe need breakfasts. To fulfill the

earned reimbursement requirements set

forth in NSLP, SBP and SMP regulations

issued by the Secretary of Agriculture (7

CFR 210.8, 220.11, 215.10), the meal

and cost data must be collected on

forms FNS–806–A and FNS–806–B.

These forms are an intrinsic part of the

accounting system being used currently

by the subject programs to ensure

proper reimbursement as well as to

facilitate adequate recordkeeping.

The claims for reimbursement for the

NSLP and SBP are on the FNS–806–A

and the claims for reimbursement for

SMP are on the FNS–806–B.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average .5 hours per

response.

Respondents: The respondents are

school food authorities and facilities

participating in the NSLP, SBP, and

SMP under the auspices of the FNS

ROAP.
