Title: Data Security Requirements for 

Accessing Confidential Data. 

OMB Control No.: 0579–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: Title III of the 

Foundations for Evidence-Based 

Policymaking Act of 2018 (44 U.S.C. 

3583; hereafter referred to as the 

Evidence Act) mandates that OMB 

establish a Standard Application 

Process (SAP) for requesting access to 

certain confidential data assets. While 

the adoption of the SAP is required for 

statistical agencies and units designated 

under the Confidential Information 

Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act 

of 2018 (CIPSEA), it is recognized that 

other agencies and organizational units 

within the Executive Branch may 

benefit from the adoption of the SAP to 

accept applications for access to 

confidential data assets. The SAP is to 

be a process through which agencies, 

the Congressional Budget Office, State, 

local, and Tribal governments, 

researchers, and other individuals, as 

appropriate, may apply to access 

confidential data assets held by a federal 

statistical agency or unit for the 

purposes of developing evidence. With 

the Interagency Council on Statistical 

Policy (ICSP) as advisors, the entities 

upon whom this requirement is levied 

are working with the SAP Project 

Management Office (PMO) and with 

OMB to implement the SAP. 

The SAP Portal is to be a single webbased common application designed to 

collect information from individuals 

requesting access to confidential data 

assets from federal statistical agencies 

and units. When an application for 

confidential data is approved through 

the SAP Portal, APHIS–NAHMS will 

collect information to fulfill its data 

security requirements. This is a required 

step before providing the individual 

with access to restricted use microdata 

for the purpose of evidence building. 

APHIS–NAHMS’s data security 

agreements and other paperwork, along 

with the corresponding security 

protocols, allow APHIS–NAHMS to 

maintain careful controls on 

confidentiality and privacy, as required 

by law. APHIS–NAHMS’s collection of 

data security information will occur 

outside of the SAP Portal. 

The following bullets outline the 

major components and processes in and 

around the SAP Portal, leading up to 

APHIS–NAHMS’ collection of security 

requirements. 

• SAP Policy: At the recommendation of 

the ICSP, the SAP Policy establishes the SAP 

to be implemented by statistical agencies and 

units and incorporates directives from the 

Evidence Act. The SAP Policy may be found 

in OMB Memorandum 23–04. 

• The SAP Portal: The SAP Portal is an 

application interface connecting applicants 

seeking data with a catalog of metadata for 

data assets owned by the federal statistical 

agencies and units. The SAP Portal is not a 

new data repository or warehouse; 

confidential data assets will continue to be 

stored in secure data access facilities owned 

and hosted by the federal statistical agencies 

and units. The Portal provides a streamlined 

application process across agencies, reducing 

redundancies in the application process. 

• Data Discovery: Individuals begin the 

process of accessing restricted use data by 

discovering confidential data assets through 

the SAP metadata catalog, maintained by 

federal statistical agencies at 

www.researchdatagov.org. 

• SAP Portal Application Process: 

Individuals who have identified and wish to 

access confidential data assets apply through 

the SAP Portal. Applicants must create an 

account and follow all steps to complete the 

application. Applicants enter personal, 

contact, and institutional information for the 

research team and provide summary 

information about their proposed project. 

• Submission for Review: Agencies 

approve or reject an application within a 

prompt timeframe. Agencies may also request 

applicants to revise and resubmit their 

application. 

• Access to Confidential Data: Approved 

applicants are notified through the SAP 

Portal that their proposal has been accepted. 

This concludes the SAP Portal process. 

Agencies will contact approved applicants to 

initiate completion of their security 

documents. The completion and submission 

of the agency’s security requirements will 

take place outside of the SAP Portal. 

• Collection of Information for Data 

Security Requirements: In the instance of a 

positive determination for an application 

requesting access to an APHIS–NAHMSowned confidential data asset, APHIS– 

NAHMS will contact the applicant(s) to 

initiate the process of collecting information 

to fulfill its data security requirements. This 

process allows APHIS–NAHMS to place the 

applicant(s) in a trusted access category. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS–NAHMS is required by law to 

uphold rigorous controls that allow it to 

minimize disclosure risk and protect 

confidentiality. The Data Security 

Requirements will allow APHIS– 

NAHMS to provide required training to 

applicants on the laws and regulations 

protecting the confidentiality of the data 

it collects, policies and procedures for 

data access, handling, and export, and 

to designate the applicant agency status 

according to Section 3572 of U.S.C. 44. 

Description of Respondents: State 

governments, researchers, and other 

individuals, as appropriate. 

Number of Respondents: 10.

Summer Food Service Program; 2025 

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. 

These adjustments address changes in 

the Consumer Price Index, as required 

under the Richard B. Russell National 

School Lunch Act. The 2025 

reimbursement rates are presented as a 

combined set of rates to highlight 

simplified cost accounting procedures. 

The 2025 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. On 

average, the 2025 rates adjustment 

represents a 3.6 percent increase in the 

rates from last year. 

DATES: This adjustment is applicable 

January 1, 2025.

(303) 844–0357. 

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 part

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 USDA 

announces the adjustments in SFSP 

payments for meals served to 

participating children during calendar 

year 2025. 

The 2025 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. 

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 

3.6 percent increase in this series for the 

12-month period, from November 2023 

through November 2024 (from 360.383 

in November 2023 to 373.530 in 

November 2024). 

Table of 2025 Reimbursement Rates 

Presentation of the 2025 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, 2025, through December 

31, 2025.
