Other General Prevented Planting 

Questions 

1. Do you believe all producers will 

support paying higher premiums to 

cover the costs of expanded prevented 

planting benefits? 

2. Are pre-planting costs the same for 

all causes of loss? For example: Does a 

multi-year drought leading to failure of 

irrigation supply have the same preplanting costs as unexpected flooding 

prior to planting?

sub-grantee applicants associated with 

the Healthy Meals Incentive Initiative 

(HMI 2) related to School Food System 

Transformation. FNS already has 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for the collection of 

information associated with the original 

cooperative agreement under the 

Uniform Grant Application for NonEntitlement Discretionary Grants, as 

approved under OMB Control Number: 

0584–0512 (Expiration Date: July 31, 

2025). This notice solicits public 

comment on the additional information 

proposed for collection. 

DATES: To be assured of consideration, 

written comments must be submitted or 

postmarked on or before October 12, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions that were 

used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,

be collected; and (d) ways to minimize

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Four 

cooperative agreement recipients of the 

United States Department of 

Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) will be 

soliciting requests for funding 

applications in the Fall of 2023 for subgrantee proposals associated with the 

Healthy Meals Incentives Initiative 

(HMI 2) related to School Food System 

Transformation. 

The Healthy Meals Incentives 

Initiative (HMI) is already addressed 

under OMB Approval No. 0584–0512 as 

the Child Nutrition Healthy Meals 

Incentive. FNS submitted a nonsubstantive change request to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) to 

provide coverage under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) for the request for 

proposals from sub-grantees. Out of an 

abundance of caution and to ensure the 

public is fully aware upfront of the 

proposed sub-grantee submittals, FNS is 

also simultaneously issuing this 30-day 

Federal Register Notice, as explicitly 

allowed under OMB Control No. 0584– 

0512. 

Four FNS cooperative agreement 

recipients will ask for sub-grantee 

applications beyond the uniform grant 

application package discussed in OMB 

control 0584–0512. The sub-grantee 

proposals to be submitted will, in 

general, address projects that support 

the development of innovative solutions 

for K–12 food service transformation. 

The projects will support collaborative 

partnerships between non-governmental 

entities, school food authorities, and the 

school food industry to encourage new 

approaches for the improvement of the 

K–12 food system and to develop 

creative solutions to provide nutritious 

foods for school meals. The projects will 

balance a regional and national focus. 

The burden hours associated with the 

request for applications from subgrantees and the submittal of proposals, 

which we’re referring to as HMI 2, are 

delineated in this Federal Register 

Notice and already covered under the 

‘‘miscellaneous’’ grants portion of the 

existing OMB-approved information 

collection. That miscellaneous grants 

section is intended to encompass grants 

that FNS could not foresee when FNS 

submitted information collection 

request 0584–0512 to OMB. 

There are burden hours associated 

with the cooperative agreement 

recipients’ future drafting and posting of 

a request for applications from subgrantees on each cooperator’s website 

and associated communication efforts. 

The estimate is 10 hours for each of the 

four cooperators, for a total of 40 hours. 

These 40 hours would be taken from the 

existing competitive pre-award burden 

hours of approximately 4,823 already 

set aside for miscellaneous grants not 

explicitly identified in OMB approval 

number 0584–0512. 

There are burden hours associated 

with the potential for up to 250 subgrantee applicants to submit one 

proposal each. The associated burden 

would be 250 times 4 hours equals 

1,000 hours. These 1,000 hours would 

be taken from the existing competitive 

pre-award total of 4,823 burden hours 

set aside for miscellaneous competitive 

grants in OMB approval number 0584– 

0512. 

There are burden hours for subgrantees’ submittal of a progress report; 

there is a potential for up to 150 subgrantees to submit a progress report 

which is equivalent to up to 150 subgrantees times 3 hours or 450 reporting 

hours. These 450 hours would be taken 

from the post-award total of 770 hours 

set aside for miscellaneous competitive 

grants in OMB approval number 0584– 

0512. 

FNS’ cooperative agreement 

recipients who will be requesting 

project proposals from sub-grantees will 

utilize comments to be submitted to 

adjust the collection of additional 

information as necessary.

Assistant Administrator, Food and Nutrition 

Service.
