Title: Information Collection for the 

National School Lunch Program. 

Forms: FNS–66, FNS–66A, FNS–640. 

OMB Number: 0584–0006. 

Expiration Date: May 31, 2012. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act (NSLA), as 

amended, authorizes the National 

School Lunch Program (NSLP) to 

safeguard the health and well-being of 

the nation’s children and provide low 

cost or free school lunch meals to 

qualified students through subsidies to 

schools. The United States Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) provides States 

with general and special cash assistance 

and donations of foods to assist schools 

in serving nutritious lunches to children 

each school day. Participating schools 

must serve lunches that are nutritionally 

adequate, and maintain menu and 

production records to demonstrate 

compliance with the meal requirements. 

To the extent practicable, schools 

ensure that participating children gain a 

full understanding of the relationship 

between proper eating and good health. 

Section 10 of the Child Nutrition Act 

of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1779) requires the 

Secretary of Agriculture to prescribe 

such regulations as deemed necessary to 

carry out this Act and the NSLA (42 

U.S.C. 1751 et seq.). Pursuant to that 

provision, the Secretary has issued 7 

CFR Part 210, which sets forth policies 

and procedures for the administration 

and operation of the NSLP. State and 

local operators of the NSLP are required 

to meet Federal reporting and 

accountability requirements. The vast 

majority of reporting relates to 

information regarding eligibility 

determinations of the children 

(including verification of a required 

sample size), the number of meals 

served, and data from required reviews 

conducted by the State agency. State 

and local operators are also required to 

maintain records regarding eligibility to 

operate the program, review results, and 

school food service accounts of 

revenues and expenditures. The 

reporting and recordkeeping burden 

associated with this revision is 

decreased from 11,806,566 to 

11,755,891 hours. This change is mainly 

due to reduction in number of State 

agencies operating the program, and 

other program changes. 

This information collection is 

required to administer and operate this 

program in accordance with the NSLA. 

The Program is administered at the State 

and school food authority (SFA) levels, 

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 NSLP are currently 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget and are in force. This is a 

revision of the currently approved 

information collection.

Programs Affected 

This program is listed in the Catalog 

of Federal Domestic Assistance under 

Number 10.446. This program is not 

subject to the provisions of Executive 

Order 12372, which requires 

intergovernmental consultation with 

State and local officials because it is not 

listed by the Secretary of Agriculture, 

pursuant to 7 CFR 3015.302, as a 

covered program. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The paperwork burden has been 

cleared by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control 

Number 0575–0180. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

This Notice has been reviewed in 

accordance with 7 CFR part 1940, 

subpart G, ‘‘Environmental Program.’’ 

Rural Development has determined that 

an Environmental Impact Statement is 

not required because the issuance of 

regulations and instructions, as well as 

amendments to them, describing 

administrative and financial procedures 

for processing, approving and 

implementing the Agency’s financial 

programs is categorically excluded in 

the Agency’s NEPA regulation found at 

7 CFR 1940.310(e)(3) of Subpart G, 

Environmental Program. Thus, in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347), Rural 

Development has determined that this 

NOFA does not constitute a major 

Federal action significantly affecting the 

quality of the human environment. 

Furthermore, individual awards under 

this NOFA are hereby classified as 

Categorical Exclusions according to 

1940.310(e), the award of financial 

assistance for planning purposes, 

management and feasibility studies, or 

environmental impact analysis, which 

do not require any additional 

documentation.
