Abstract: Section 4 of the Child 

Nutrition Act of 1966 (CNA) (42 U.S.C. 

1773), authorizes the School Breakfast 

Program (SBP). The SBP is a nutrition 

assistance program whose benefit is 

providing breakfast that meets 

nutritional requirements prescribed by 

the Department in accordance with 

Section 4(e) of the CNA. That provision 

requires that ‘‘Breakfasts served by 

schools participating in the School 

Breakfast Program under this section 

shall consist of a combination of foods 

and shall meet minimum nutritional 

requirements prescribed by the 

Secretary on the basis of tested 

nutritional research.’’ The reporting and 

recordkeeping burden associated with 

this revision is summarized in the 

charts below. Note that the difference in 

burden is mainly due to increase in 

SFAs and Schools, program changes and 

adjustments. 

This information collection is 

required to administer and operate this 

program in accordance with the NSLA 

(National School Lunch Act). The 

Program is administered at the State and

the operations include the submission 

and approval of applications, execution 

of agreements, submission of claims, 

payment of claims, providing 

monitoring and technical assistance. All 

of the reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements associated with the SBP 

are currently approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget and are in 

force. This is a revision of the currently 

approved information collection.

The Special Milk Program for Children 

Abstract: Section 3 of the Child 

Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966, (42 U.S.C. 

1772) authorizes the Special Milk 

Program (SMP). It provides for the 

appropriation of such sums as may be 

necessary to enable the Secretary of 

Agriculture to encourage the 

consumption of fluid milk by children 

in the United States in: (1) Nonprofit 

schools of high school grade and under; 

and (2) nonprofit nursery schools, child 

care centers, settlement houses, summer 

camps, and similar nonprofit 

institutions devoted to the care and 

training of children, which do not 

participate in a food service program 

authorized under the CNA or the 

National School Lunch Act. 

Section 10 of the CNA (42 U.S.C. 

1779) requires the Secretary of 

Agriculture to prescribe such 

regulations as deemed necessary to 

carry out this Act and the National 

School Lunch Act. Pursuant to that 

provision, the Secretary has issued 7 

CFR part 215, which sets forth policies 

and procedures for the administration 

and operation of the SMP. State and 

local operators of the SMP are required 

to meet Federal reporting and 

accountability requirements. The vast 

majority of reporting relates to 

information regarding eligibility 

determinations of the children, the
