Title: 7 CFR part 225, Summer Food 

Service Program. 

OMB Number: 0584–0280. 

Expiration Date: December 31, 2022. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Summer Food Service 

Program (SFSP) is authorized under 

section 13 of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 

U.S.C. 1761). The Program is directed 

toward children in low-income areas 

when school is not in session and is 

administered by FNS in partnership 

with State agencies and local program 

sponsors. Approved sponsors may 

include public or private non-profit 

school food authorities (SFAs), public or 

private non-profit residential summer 

camps, units of local, municipal, county 

or State governments, or other private 

non-profit organizations that develop a 

special summer program and provide 

meal service similar to that available to 

children during the school year under 

the National School Lunch Program and 

the School Breakfast Program. 

Collection of information is required to 

administer and operate SFSP in 

accordance with the NSLA. 

FNS will seek approval by the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) to 

revise the reporting burden in the 

information collection for the SFSP 

under OMB Control Number 0584–0280 

to include two existing monitoring 

requirements that were omitted in 

previous ICRs. Under current 

regulations, sponsors are required to 

visit each of their sites at least once 

during the first week of operation under 

the program (7 CFR 225.15(d)(2)), and to 

conduct a full review of food service 

operations at each site within the first 

four weeks of operation ((7 CFR 

225.15(d)(3)). The burden associated 

with these existing monitoring 

requirements was overlooked in 

previous ICRs and has not yet been 

approved under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. This revision corrects 

these omissions. In addition, FNS is 

taking this opportunity to correct 

rounding errors in the total estimated 

burden hours currently approved for the 

collection. 

FNS estimates that each of the 5,524 

sponsors that participate in SFSP (3,314 

local and tribal government sponsors, 

and 2,210 business sponsors) complete, 

on average, nine first week site visit 

reports and nine food service reviews 

annually, for a total of 99,432 responses. 

In addition, FNS estimates that the 

average number of burden hours per 

response is 30 minutes (0.50 hours) for 

first week site visits, and two hours for 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 139 / Friday, July 23, 2021 / Notices 38975 

food service reviews, resulting in an 

estimated total of 124,290 additional 

burden hours annually (5,524 × 9 × 2.5). 

As a result of program adjustments for 

these two monitoring requirements, the 

reporting burden associated with this 

collection increases from 328,870 hours 

and 185,884 responses to 453,160 hours 

and 285,316 responses. These 

adjustments do not affect the currently 

approved recordkeeping and public 

disclosure burdens. 

Furthermore, in preparation for this 

ICR, FNS discovered erroneous 

rounding errors in the burden chart 

submitted as part of the previous 

renewal request, which resulted in an 

additional two hours to the total burden 

estimate for the collection. During that 

renewal, which was approved by OMB 

on December 2, 2019, the total public 

disclosure burden was entered as 1,395 

hours when it should have more 

accurately been rounded to 1,394 hours. 

In addition, the total burden hours 

estimate for the collection was rounded 

up an additional hour when it should 

have been rounded down. Because of 

these two rounding errors, current OMB 

inventory for this collection totals 

338,411 hours rather than the more 

accurate total of 338,409 hours. 

As a result of the program 

adjustments subject to this notice, due 

to the addition of previously omitted 

reporting requirements, as well as the 

administrative adjustment for rounding 

errors, FNS estimates the revised total 

burden for the collection to increase by 

124,288 hours (124,290 for the two 

monitoring requirements¥2 to correct 

rounding errors) and 99,432 responses, 

to a total of 462,699 hours and 391,795 

responses. The adjusted average burden 

per response and the annual burden 

hours for reporting, recordkeeping, and 

public disclosure are explained below 

and summarized in the charts that 

follow. The charts reflect the changes in 

reporting burden at the State/Local/ 

Tribal Government and Business 

Sponsors levels and the correction of 

rounding errors in the public disclosure 

burden. No changes were made in the 

recordkeeping burden.
