SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for Special Priorities 

Assistance. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0280. 

Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 

2022. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: APAS would efficiently 

place priority ratings on contracts or 

orders of agriculture commodities up 

through the wholesale levels, 

agriculture production equipment, 

allocate resources, and handle food 

claims within its authority as specified 

in the Defense Production Act (DPA) of 

1950, as amended, when necessary to 

promote national defense. It was 

determined that food is a scarce and 

critical commodity essential to the 

national defense (including civil 

emergency preparedness and response). 

Unless its production, processing, 

storage, and wholesale distribution are 

regulated during times of emergencies, 

the national defense requirement for 

food and food production may not be 

met without creating hardship in the 

civilian marketplace. Applicants 

(Government agencies or private 

individuals with a role in emergency 

preparedness, response, and recovery 

functions) request authorization from 

USDA to place a rating on a contract for 

items to support national defense 

activities. USDA Form AD–2102 can be 

found by the public at https://forms.sc.

egov.usda.gov/eForms. Applicants must 

supply, at time of request, their name, 

location, contact information, items for 

which the applicant is requesting 

assistance on, quantity, and delivery 

date. Applicants can submit the request 

by mail or fax. There are no changes to 

the burden hours since the last OMB 

approval. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hour is the estimated average 

time per response multiplied by the 

estimated total annual responses. 

Estimate of Respondent Burden: 

Public reporting burden for the 

information collection is estimated to 

average 30 minutes (0.50) per response. 

Respondents: Individuals, businesses, 

and agencies with responsibilities for 

emergency preparedness and response. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 50. 

Estimated Number of Reponses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

50. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Response: 0.5 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 25 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection to 

help us to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

FSA, including whether the information 

will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s 

estimate of burden including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.

Food and Nutrition Service 

Summer Food Service Program; 2022 

Reimbursement Rates 

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public 

of the annual adjustments to the 

reimbursement rates for meals served in 

the Summer Food Service Program for 

Children. These adjustments address 

changes in the Consumer Price Index, as 

required under the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act. The 2022 

reimbursement rates are presented as a 

combined set of rates to highlight 

simplified cost accounting procedures. 

The 2022 rates are also presented 

individually, as separate operating and 

administrative rates of reimbursement, 

to show the effect of the Consumer Price 

Index adjustment on each rate. 

DATES: The rates take effect January 1, 

2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. 

Kevin Maskornick, Program Monitoring 

and Operational Support Division, 

Child Nutrition Programs, Food and 

Nutrition Service, United States 

Department of Agriculture, 1320 

Braddock Place, Suite 401, Alexandria, 

Virginia 22314, 703–305–2537. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) 

is listed in the Catalog of Federal 

Domestic Assistance under No. 10.559 

and is subject to the provisions of 

Executive Order 12372, which requires 

intergovernmental consultation with 

State and local officials. (See 2 CFR, 415 

and final rule-related document 

published at 48 FR 29114, June 24, 

1983.) 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520, no new recordkeeping or 

reporting requirements have been 

included that are subject to approval 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget. 

This notice is not a rule as defined by 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 

601–612, and thus is exempt from the 

provisions of that Act. Additionally, this 

notice has been determined to be 

exempt from formal review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866. 

Definitions 

The terms used in this notice have the 

meaning ascribed to them under 7 CFR 

part 225 of the SFSP regulations. 

Background 

This notice informs the public of the 

annual adjustments to the 

reimbursement rates for meals served in 

SFSP. In accordance with sections 12(f) 

and 13, 42 U.S.C. 1760(f) and 1761, of 

the Richard B. Russell National School 

Lunch Act (NSLA) and SFSP regulations 

under 7 CFR part 225, the United States 

Department of Agriculture announces 

the adjustments in SFSP payments for 

meals served to participating children 

during calendar year 2022. 

The 2022 reimbursement rates are 

presented as a combined set of rates to 

highlight simplified cost accounting 

procedures. Reimbursement is based 

solely on a ‘‘meals times rates’’ 

calculation, without comparison to 

actual or budgeted costs.

1108 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2022 / Notices 

Sponsors receive reimbursement that 

is determined by the number of 

reimbursable meals served, multiplied 

by the combined rates for food service 

operations and administration. 

However, the combined rate is based on 

separate operating and administrative 

rates of reimbursement, each of which is 

adjusted differently for inflation. 

Calculation of Rates 

The combined rates are constructed 

from individually authorized operating 

and administrative reimbursements. 

Simplified procedures provide 

flexibility, enabling sponsors to manage 

their reimbursements to pay for any 

allowable cost, regardless of the cost 

category. Sponsors remain responsible, 

however, for ensuring proper 

administration of the Program, while 

providing the best possible nutrition 

benefit to children. 

The operating and administrative 

rates are calculated separately. 

However, the calculations of 

adjustments for both cost categories are 

based on the same set of changes in the 

Food Away from Home series of the 

Consumer Price Index for All Urban 

Consumers, published by the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics of the United States 

Department of Labor. They represent a 

5.8 percent increase in this series for the 

12-month period, from November 2020 

through November 2021 (from 298.253 

in November 2020 to 315.481 in 

November 2021). 

Table of 2022 Reimbursement Rates 

Presentation of the 2022 maximum 

per meal rates for meals served to 

children in SFSP combines the results 

from the calculations of operational and 

administrative payments, which are 

further explained in this notice. The 

total amount of payments to State 

agencies for disbursement to SFSP 

sponsors will be based upon these 

adjusted combined rates and the 

number of meals of each type served. 

These adjusted rates will be in effect 

from January 1, 2022 through December 

31, 2022. 

These changes are reflected below.
