Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2022 / Notices 8781 

of Executive Order 12372, which 

requires intergovernmental consultation 

with State and local officials. (See 2 CFR 

part 415). 

Background 

Pursuant to sections 9(b)(1) and 

17(c)(4) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 

1758(b)(1) and 42 U.S.C. 1766(c)(4)), 

and sections 3(a)(6) and 4(e)(1)(A) of the 

Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 

1772(a)(6) and 1773(e)(1)(A)), the 

Department annually issues the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines for free and 

reduced price meals for the National 

School Lunch Program (7 CFR part 210), 

the Commodity School Program (7 CFR 

part 210), School Breakfast Program (7 

CFR part 220), Summer Food Service 

Program (7 CFR part 225) and Child and 

Adult Care Food Program (7 CFR part 

226) and the guidelines for free milk in 

the Special Milk Program for Children 

(7 CFR part 215). These eligibility 

guidelines are based on the Federal 

income poverty guidelines and are 

stated by household size. The guidelines 

are used to determine eligibility for free 

and reduced price meals and free milk 

in accordance with applicable program 

rules. 

Definition of Income 

In accordance with the Department’s 

policy as provided in the Food and 

Nutrition Service publication Eligibility 

Manual for School Meals, ‘‘income,’’ as 

the term is used in this notice, means 

income before any deductions such as 

income taxes, Social Security taxes, 

insurance premiums, charitable 

contributions, and bonds. It includes the 

following: (1) Monetary compensation 

for services, including wages, salary, 

commissions or fees; (2) net income 

from nonfarm self-employment; (3) net 

income from farm self-employment; (4) 

Social Security; (5) dividends or interest 

on savings or bonds or income from 

estates or trusts; (6) net rental income; 

(7) public assistance or welfare 

payments; (8) unemployment 

compensation; (9) government civilian 

employee or military retirement, or 

pensions or veterans payments; (10) 

private pensions or annuities; (11) 

alimony or child support payments; (12) 

regular contributions from persons not 

living in the household; (13) net 

royalties; and (14) other cash income. 

Other cash income would include cash 

amounts received or withdrawn from 

any source including savings, 

investments, trust accounts and other 

resources that would be available to pay 

the price of a child’s meal. 

‘‘Income’’, as the term is used in this 

notice, does not include any income or 

benefits received under any Federal 

programs that are excluded from 

consideration as income by any 

statutory prohibition. Furthermore, the 

value of meals or milk to children shall 

not be considered as income to their 

households for other benefit programs 

in accordance with the prohibitions in 

section 12(e) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act and section 

11(b) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 

(42 U.S.C. 1760(e) and 1780(b)). 

The Income Eligibility Guidelines 

The following are the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines to be effective 

from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. 

The Department’s guidelines for free 

meals and milk and reduced price meals 

were obtained by multiplying the year 

2022 Federal income poverty guidelines 

by 1.30 and 1.85, respectively, and by 

rounding the result upward to the next 

whole dollar. 

This notice displays only the annual 

Federal poverty guidelines issued by the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services because the monthly and 

weekly Federal poverty guidelines are 

not used to determine the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines. The chart details 

the free and reduced price eligibility 

criteria for monthly income, income 

received twice monthly (24 payments 

per year); income received every two 

weeks (26 payments per year) and 

weekly income. 

Income calculations are made based 

on the following formulas: Monthly 

income is calculated by dividing the 

annual income by 12; twice monthly 

income is computed by dividing annual 

income by 24; income received every 

two weeks is calculated by dividing 

annual income by 26; and weekly 

income is computed by dividing annual 

income by 52. All numbers are rounded 

upward to the next whole dollar. The 

numbers reflected in this notice for a 

family of four in the 48 contiguous 

States, the District of Columbia, Guam 

and the territories represent an increase 

of 4.7 percent over last year’s level for 

a family of the same size. 

Authority: Section 9(b)(1) of the 

Richard B. Russell National School 

Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)(1)(A)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Land Exchanges. 

OMB Number: 0596–0105. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2022. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Land exchanges are 

discretionary, voluntary real estate 

transactions between the Secretary of 

Agriculture (acting by and through the 

Forest Service) and a non-Federal 

exchange party (or parties). Land 

exchanges can be initiated by a nonFederal party (or parties), an agent of a 

landowner, a broker, a third party, or a 

non-Federal public agency. 

Each land exchange requires 

preparation of an Agreement to Initiate 

as required by title 36 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), part 254, subpart A— 

section 254.4—Agreement to Initiate. 

The Agreement to Initiate document 

specifies the preliminary and nonbinding intentions of the non-Federal 

land exchange party and the Forest 

Service in pursuing a land exchange. 

The Agreement to Initiate can contain 

such information as the description of 

properties being considered in the land 

exchange, an implementation schedule 

of action items, identification of the 

party responsible for each action item, 

as well as target dates for completion of 

each action item. 

As the exchange proposal develops, 

the Forest Service and the non-Federal 

land exchange party may enter into a 

binding Exchange Agreement, pursuant 

to Title 36 CFR part 254, subpart A, 

section 254.14—Exchange Agreement. 

The Exchange Agreement documents 

the conditions that must be met to 

complete the exchange. The Exchange 

Agreement can contain information 

such as identification of parties, 

description of lands and interests to be 

exchanged, identification of all reserved 

and outstanding interest, and all other 

terms and conditions necessary to 

complete the exchange. 

The Forest Service collects the 

information from the non-Federal party 

(or parties) necessary to complete the 

Agreement to Initiate and the Exchange 

Agreement. The information is collected 

by Forest Service personnel from parties 

involved in the exchange via telephone, 

email or in person. Data from this 

information collection is unique to each 

land exchange and is not available from 

other sources. No standardized forms 

are associated with this information 

collection. 

Estimate of Annual Burden 

Agreement to Initiate: 3 hours. 

Exchange Agreement: 1 hour. 

Type of Respondents: Non-Federal 

party (or parties) that can include 

landowners, agents of landowners, 

brokers, a third party or a non-Federal 

public agency. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 25. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1.826. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 88. 

Comment Is Invited: Comment is 

invited on: (1) Whether this collection 

of information is necessary for the stated 

purposes and the proper performance of 

the functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical or scientific utility; (2) the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

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 request toward Office of 

Management and Budget approval.
