Title: Special Milk Program for

OMB Number: 0584–0005. 

Expiration Date: May 31, 2012. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved 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 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2012 / Notices 16517 

number of milk servings, and revenues 

received from milk sales. State and local 

operators are also required to maintain 

records regarding eligibility to operate 

the program, review results, and 

accounts of revenues and expenditures. 

The reporting and record keeping 

burden associated with this revision is 

decreased from 508,485 to 21,246 hours. 

This change is mainly due to program 

adjustments and the reduction in 

number of State agencies operating the 

Program.
