including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
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.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by April 
25, 2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this information collection by

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0055.
    Summary of Collection: Section 17 of the National School Lunch Act 
(``the Act''), as amended (42 U.S.C. 1766), authorizes the Child and 
Adult Care Program (CACFP). Section 17a of the Act authorizes the 
Afterschool/At-Risk component of the CACFP. Section 9 of the Act 
authorizes nutritional and other program requirements related to the 
CACFP. Under this program, the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized 
to provide cash reimbursement and commodity assistance, on a per meal 
basis, for food service to children in nonresidential child care 
centers and family or group day care homes, and to eligible adults in 
nonresidential adult day care centers. The Food and Nutrition Service 
(FNS) has established application, monitoring, recordkeeping, public 
disclosure, and reporting requirements to manage the Program 
effectively, and ensure that the legislative intent of this mandate is 
responsibly implemented.
    This is a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved 
information collection that expired on February 29, 2020. Due to 
statute, FNS is still legally required to collect the data in this 
information collection. Consequently, FNS has been collecting this 
information in violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act. With this 
reinstatement, FNS is requesting approval for the information collected 
in this collection.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is 
necessary to enable institutions wishing to participate in the CACFP to 
submit applications to the administering agencies, execute agreements 
with those agencies, and claim the reimbursement to which they are 
entitled by law. FNS and State agencies administering the program will 
use the collected information to ensure that institutions accept, as 
mandated by Congress, their responsibilities and liabilities in 
connection with the CACFP, provide the legal basis for their 
participation, and allow administering agencies to monitor these 
operations to ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory 
requirements. FNS uses the information to conduct reviews that 
determine whether or not institutions are observing the requirements 
established by statute and regulation.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-
profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Government; and 
Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 3,794,949.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting, and Third Party 
Disclosure: On occasion; Monthly, and Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,213,211.

    Dated: March 22, 2022.
