care home sponsoring organizations,

participating day care homes, ‘‘dropout’’

day care homes, and parents of children

cared for in participating day care

homes. The sampling process is four

staged. Twenty States have been

selected for the survey as a nationally

representative sample of CACFP. The

CACFP-administering agencies in those

States will be asked for lists of sponsors.

A random sample of the sponsors will

be drawn and surveyed. From lists of

participating and ‘‘dropout’’ homes

provided by the sampled sponsors,

random samples of participating and

‘‘dropout’’ homes will be selected and

surveyed. From lists of parents provided

by the participating day care homes, a

random sample of parents will be drawn

and surveyed.

Survey data will be collected through

mail surveys, Computer-Assisted

Telephone Interviewing (CATI), and,

when necessary, personal interviews.

With each stage of the sampling process

dependent upon the success of the

previous stage, every effort will be made

to make the process as simple and user

friendly as possible. For example,

parents will be able to choose between

a phone interview or mail survey to

answer the household questions.

Responses are voluntary and

confidential. Survey data will be used

with other data for statistical purposes

and reported only in aggregate or

statistical form.

No existing data sources, including

FNS administrative data, can provide

the information needed to complete the

Study of Impact of Amendments on

Program Participation and Family Day

Care Licensing mandated by Congress.

These data and the research they will

support are vital to the Department’s

ability to assess the impact of

amendments to CACFP.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this data collection is

estimated to vary by the type of

respondent. Responses by sponsors and

tier I providers are estimated to average

30 minutes. Responses by tier II and

‘‘dropout’’ homes are estimated to

average 3 hours, with those who prepare

foods needing an additional hour to

answer an additional set of questions.

Responses by parents of children cared

for in participating day care homes are

estimated to average 17 minutes. The

estimates include time for listening to

instructions, gathering data needed, and

responding to questionnaire items.

Respondents: Representatives of day

care home sponsoring organizations,

participating day care providers,

‘‘dropout’’ day care providers, and

parents of children cared for in

participating day care homes.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

400 sponsors, 580 tier I providers, 580

tier II providers of which 145 prepare

their own foods, 580 ‘‘dropout’’ day care

providers of which 145 prepare their

own foods, and 1,536 parents of

children cared for in participating day

care homes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 4,521 hours.
