School Breakfast Program: Severe 

Need Assistance 

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Interim rule. 

SUMMARY: This interim rule addresses 

and implements amendments made by 

Section 201 of the Child Nutrition and 

WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004. The 

rule amends the School Breakfast 

Program (SBP) regulations to eliminate 

the requirement that a school’s costs 

exceed the rate of reimbursement as a 

criterion for receiving the higher severe 

need funding available in the SBP. This 

rule also allows State agencies to 

provide severe need reimbursements to 

certain new schools that are beginning 

participation in the school feeding 

programs and therefore have no 

historical second preceding year 

participation information, as was 

previously required. This rule is 

intended to simplify eligibility for 

severe need reimbursements by 

removing previous restrictions on 

receipt of those payments. This rule 

does not impose new administrative 

requirements on State or local 

governmental entities. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 2, 2005. 

Comments Date: Comments on this 

rule must be postmarked on or before 

May 1, 2006 to be assured of 

consideration. Comments will also be 

accepted via E-Mail submission, at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The rules concerning the amounts to 

be paid to schools participating in the 

SBP for providing Program benefits are 

set forth in Section 4(b) of the Child 

Nutrition Act of 1966 (CNA), 42 U.S.C. 

1773(b) and in 7 CFR 220.9. In addition 

to the standard SBP rates of 

reimbursement, schools determined to 

be in ‘‘severe need’’ are authorized to 

receive additional funding in order to 

effectively provide Program benefits. 

The requirements for schools to 

qualify to receive severe need rates of 

reimbursement under the SBP are 

described in 7 CFR 220.9(e). The 

regulation currently establishes the 

criteria a school is required to meet to 

be eligible to receive severe need 

reimbursements under the SBP. The 

first criterion is that the normal 

reimbursement rate established by the 

Secretary would not provide the school 

in question with sufficient funds to 

cover the costs of the breakfast program. 

The second eligibility criterion is that 

the school is participating in or desiring 

to initiate a breakfast program, and the 

third is that 40 percent or more of the 

lunches served to students at the school 

in the second preceding school year 

were served free or at a reduced price. 

Under 7 CFR 220.9(d), schools received 

the lesser of their documented costs for 

free and reduced price breakfasts or the 

product of the number of free and 

reduced price meals times the 

applicable severe need rate of 

reimbursement. 

On June 30, 2004, the President 

signed the Child Nutrition and WIC 

Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 

108–265). Section 201 of Public Law 

108–265 amended section 4 of the CNA 

to remove the requirement that the per 

meal reimbursement rate established by 

the Secretary be inadequate to cover the 

costs of the school’s breakfast program 

as a threshold requirement to qualify for 

severe need funding. The law also 

allows eligibility for severe need 

subsidies to be available for breakfasts 

served in schools in which no 

reimbursable lunches were served in the 

second preceding year if the Secretary 

determines that those schools would 

have met the requirement of serving 40 

percent or more of their lunches free or 

at a reduced price. The Department will 

establish through guidance how the 

Secretary will make this determination. 

This rule makes changes to the 

regulations in 7 CFR 220.9(d) and (e) to 

reflect the changes mandated by Public 

Law 108–265. 

What Specific Changes Does This Rule 

Make? 

• Removes 7 CFR 220.9(d) and 

redesignates current 7 CFR 220.9(e) as 7 

CFR 220.9(d). 

• Removes the requirement in current 

7 CFR 220.9(e) that schools document 

that the normal per meal reimbursement 

is insufficient to cover the costs of the 

SBP. 

• Makes technical changes to 7 CFR 

220.9(c)(2) and current 7 CFR 

220.9(e)(3) to remove outdated 

references to severe need 

reimbursement for schools in States that 

are required by law to serve breakfasts. 

66248 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

• Adds an exception to the criterion, 

established in redesignated 7 CFR 

220.9(d), which allows States, in 

accordance with guidance provided by 

the Secretary, in schools which did not 

serve meals in the second preceding 

school year, to determine if 40 percent 

or more of the meals served to students 

would have otherwise been served free 

or at a reduced rate. 

Why Is This Rule Being Issued as an 

Interim Rule and Not a Proposed Rule? 

Section 501(b) of Public Law 108–265 

states that FNS may promulgate interim 

regulations to implement the 

requirements of Section 201 discussed 

above. The Secretary has deemed the 

requirements of this provision sufficient 

to warrant an interim regulation, 

without regard to the Administrative 

Procedure Act’s prior notice and 

comment provisions at 5 U.S.C. 553; the 

Statement of Policy of the Secretary of 

Agriculture effective July 24, 1971 (36 

FR 13804) relating to notices of 

proposed rulemaking and public 

participation in rulemaking; and the 

Paperwork Reduction Act at 44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35. However, issuance of these 

program changes also allows FNS to 

request and consider public comment 

that may assist in future amendments to 

this rule. FNS intends to issue a final 

rule after consideration of comments 

received on this rule. 

When Does This Rule Take Effect? 

Section 201 of Public Law 108–265 

became effective on July 1, 2004. 

Beginning with School Year 2004–2005, 

otherwise qualified schools no longer 

have to justify SBP costs or maintain 

cost records to receive the severe need 

reimbursement rate for the SBP. 

However, any claims outstanding from 

School Year 2003–2004 are still subject 

to the cost-accounting procedures for 

severe need assistance. FNS informed 

State agencies of these provisions 

immediately after the law was signed. 

Executive Order 12866 

This interim rule has been determined 

to be non-significant and is not subject 

to review by the Office of Management 

and Budget under Executive Order 

12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This interim rule has been reviewed 

with regard to the requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601–612). Roberto Salazar, 

Administrator of the Food and Nutrition 

Service, has certified that it will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This interim rule reduces 

administrative burdens for school food 

authorities operating the SBP that wish 

to apply for severe need funding. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 

Law 104–4, establishes requirements for 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their regulatory actions on State, local, 

and tribal governments and the private 

sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, 

FNS generally prepares a written 

statement, including a cost-benefit 

analysis. This is done for rules that have 

‘‘Federal mandates’’ which may result 

in expenditures of $100 million or more 

in any one year by State, local, or tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector. When this statement is 

needed for a rule, section 205 of the 

UMRA generally requires FNS to 

identify and consider a reasonable 

number of regulatory alternatives. It 

must then adopt the least costly, most 

cost-effective or least burdensome 

alternative that achieves the objectives 

of the rule. 

This interim rule contains no Federal 

mandates of $100 million or more in 

any one year (under regulatory 

provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for 

State, local, and tribal governments or 

the private sector. Thus, this interim 

rule is not subject to the requirements 

of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. 

Executive Order 12372 

The School Breakfast Program is 

listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance under No. 10.553. This 

program is subject to the provisions of 

Executive Order 12372, which requires 

intergovernmental consultation with 

State and local officials (7 CFR part 

3015, subpart V, and interim rule 

related notice at 48 FR 29115, June 24, 

1983). 

Federalism Summary Impact Statement 

Executive Order 13132 requires 

Federal agencies to consider the impact 

of their regulatory actions on State and 

local governments. Where such actions 

have federalism implications, agencies 

are directed to provide a statement for 

inclusion in the preamble to the 

regulations describing the agency’s 

considerations in terms of the three 

categories called for under section 

(6)(b)(2)(B) of Executive Order 13132. 

FNS has considered the impact of this 

rule on State and local governments and 

has determined that this rule does not 

have Federalism implications. This rule 

does not impose substantial or direct 

compliance costs on State and local 

governments. Therefore, under Section 

6(b) of the Executive Order, a federalism 

summary impact statement is not 

required. 

Executive Order 12988 

This interim rule has been reviewed 

under Executive Order 12988, Civil 

Justice Reform. It is intended to have 

preemptive effect with respect to any 

State or local laws, regulations or 

policies which conflict with its 

provisions or which would impede its 

full implementation. This rule is not 

intended to have retroactive effect 

unless so specified in the Effective Dates 

section of this preamble. Before any 

judicial challenge to the provisions of 

this rule or the application of its 

provisions, all applicable administrative 

procedures must be exhausted. 

Civil Rights Impact Analysis 

Under USDA Regulation 4300–4, Civil 

Rights Impact Analysis, FNS has 

reviewed this interim rule to identify 

and address any major civil rights 

impacts the interim rule might have on 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities. After a careful review of the 

rule’s intent and provisions, FNS has 

determined that this interim rule will 

not in any way limit or reduce 

participants’ ability to participate in the 

Child Nutrition Programs on the basis of 

an individual’s or group’s race, color, 

national origin, sex, age, or disability 

(the Child Nutrition Programs’

nondiscrimination policy can be found 

at 7 CFR 210.23(b)). FNS found no 

factors that would negatively and 

disproportionately affect any group of 

individuals. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. Chap. 35; see 5 CFR 1320) 

requires that the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) approve all 

collections of information by a Federal 

agency from the public before they can 

be implemented. Respondents are not 

required to respond to any collection of 

information unless it displays a current 

valid OMB control number. Information 

collections in this interim rule have 

been previously approved under OMB 

#0584–0012. This interim rule contains 

information collections that are subject 

to review and approval by OMB; 

therefore, FNS is submitting for public 

comment the changes in the information 

collection burden that would result 

from adoption of the provisions in the 

rule. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 66249 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) 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. All responses to this Notice 

will be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval, and will 

become a matter of public record. 

Comments may be sent to Katherine 

Astrich, Desk Officer, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), Washington, DC 20503. A copy 

may also be sent to Mr. Robert Eadie at

Comments will also be accepted via 

E–Mail submission if sent to 

CNDPROPOSAL@FNS.USDA.GOV. 

When submitting comments via E-Mail, 

you must include ‘‘School Breakfast 

Program Regulations: Severe Need 

Assistance’’ in the subject line. 

Comments and recommendations on 

the proposed information collection 

must be received by January 3, 2006. All 

responses to this information collection 

will be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval and will 

become a matter of public record. 

Title: School Breakfast Program 

Regulations. 

OMB Number: 0584–0012. 

Expiration Date: August 31, 2007. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The School Breakfast 

Program (SBP) regulations are being 

amended to implement section 201 of 

the Child Nutrition and WIC 

Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 

108–265) regarding severe need in the 

program. Specifically, section 201 of 

Public Law 108–265 eliminates the 

requirement to document costs in order 

to receive the severe need 

reimbursement rate. Consequently, this 

rule will remove the requirement that 

schools maintain records to support the 

cost of producing breakfasts in order to 

receive federal reimbursement at the 

severe need rates. 

The severe need cost accounting 

requirements are being removed by 

revising 7 CFR 220.9(d) and (e). 

Therefore, the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements are also 

being removed. 

Estimate of Burden: The current 

inventory for School Breakfast Program, 

OMB 0584–0012 collection is 4,564,772 

burden hours. Consequently, when this 

rule is published and the burden 

package is approved, the reporting 

burden will decrease by 70,034 hours 

and the recordkeeping will decrease by 

2,098,273 hours. The total reduction in 

burden hours for School Breakfast 

Program, OMB 0584–0012 will be 

2,170,307 hours; the new burden hours 

will be 150,988 for reporting and 

2,287,710 for recordkeeping for a total of 

2,438,698 burden hours. 

Number of Respondents: 84,138 

respondents. 

Average Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 10 responses. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

872,915 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .17 

hours/response. 

Estimated Annual Reporting Burden 

Hours:—150,988 hours. 

Number of Recordkeepers: 84,138 

respondents. 

Estimated Annual Hours per 

Recordkeeper: 27.19 hours. 

Estimated Annual Recordkeeping 

Hours: 2,287,710 hours. 

Total Request—Annual Reporting and 

Recording Burden Hours: 2,438,698 

hours. 

Government Paperwork Elimination 

Act 

The Food and Nutrition Service 

makes every effort to comply with the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

by providing electronic submission in 

lieu of paper submission whenever it is 

feasible. School food authorities 

demonstrate their eligibility for severe 

need reimbursements by applying to 

their State agency. State agencies have 

the option of accepting and reviewing 

these applications electronically. The 

Food and Consumer Service encourages 

State agencies to provide electronic 

submission in lieu of paper submission 

where feasible. 

Public Participation 

FNS has determined, in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 553(b), that a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking and the 

opportunity for public comments is 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest and, in accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 553(d), finds that good cause 

exists for making this action effective 

without prior public comment. In 

Section 501(b) of Public Law 108–265, 

Congress specifically afforded the 

Secretary the option of implementing 

this rulemaking without prior notice 

and comment. In addition, the 

provisions of this interim rule reflect 

mandatory statutory requirements 

which are non-discretionary. The 

Department, however, wishes to receive 

comments that might improve the 

administration of these mandatory 

requirements. 

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 220

The revisions read as follows: 

§ 220.9 Reimbursement payments. 

* * * * * 

(c) The total reimbursement for 

breakfasts served to eligible children in 

schools not in severe need, and schools 

in severe need during the school year 

shall not exceed the sum of the products 

obtained by multiplying the total 

numbers of such free, reduced price and 

paid breakfasts, respectively, by the 

applicable rate of reimbursement for 

each type of breakfast as prescribed for 

the school year. 

(d) The State agency, or FNSRO where 

applicable, shall determine whether a 

school is in severe need based on the 

following eligibility criteria: 

(1) The school is participating in or 

desiring to initiate a breakfast program; 

and 

(2) At least 40 percent of the lunches 

served to students at the school in the 

second preceding school year were 

served free or at a reduced price. 

Schools that did not serve lunches in 

the second preceding year and that 

would like to receive reimbursement at 

the severe need rate may apply to their 

administering State agency. The 

administering State agency shall 

approve or deny such requests in 

accordance with guidance, issued by the 

66250 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

Secretary, that determines that the 

second preceding school year 

requirement would otherwise have been 

met.

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for General 

Electric Company (GE) CF6–80E1 series 

turbofan engines installed on Airbus 

Industrie A330 series airplanes. This AD 

requires a check of the holding torque 

of the thrust reverser actuation system 

(TRAS) locks, and if necessary a visual 

inspection of the TRAS lock flexible 

drive shafts, within 10 flight cycles after 

all aborted takeoffs in which the thrust 

reverser was deployed. This AD results 

from reports of operators finding several 

damaged TRAS lock flexible drive shafts 

during inspections and checks of the 

drive shafts. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent inadvertent in-flight 

deployment of the thrust reverser, 

which can result in loss of control of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 2, 2005. 

We must receive any comments on 

this AD by January 3, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

issued AD 2002–10–08 (67 FR 36090, 

May 23, 2002) on May 9, 2002. That AD 

requires initial and repetitive thrust 

reverser inspections and checks. That 

AD resulted from reports of serviceinduced hardware deterioration that 

reduces the overall thrust reverser 

system protection against inadvertent 

deployment, which can result in loss of 

control of the airplane. Since we issued 

that AD, we received reports of 

operators finding several damaged 

TRAS lock flexible drive shafts. The 

operators found these damaged shafts 

while complying with the torque check 

specified in AD 2002–10–08. 

Investigation and analysis by GE and the 

FAA revealed that high end-of-stroke 

impact caused the damage. End-ofstroke impact is highest when the thrust 

reverser is commanded to deploy during 

an aborted take-off. The TRAS lock 

flexible drive shaft attaches the upper 

end actuator to the TRAS lock. When 

the system is commanded to deploy, the 

TRAS lock rotates to allow movement of 

the thrust reverser. At the end of the 

deployment stroke, the actuation system 

end-actuator hits its hard stop, while the 

TRAS lock continues to rotate. The 

TRAS lock then transmits its rotating 

inertia to the TRAS lock flexible drive 

shafts. This transmission of inertia can 

cause twisting, shearing, or bird caging 

of the drive shafts, leading to loss of the 

holding torque in the TRAS lock. Loss 

of holding torque reduces the 

effectiveness of the lock and if not 

corrected, can increase the probability 

of an in-flight inadvertent deployment 

of the thrust reverser, which can result 

in loss of control of the airplane. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

Although this affected engine model 

is not used on any airplanes that are 

registered in the United States, the 

possibility exists that this engine model 

could be used on airplanes registered in 

the United States in the future. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent inadvertent 

in-flight deployment of the thrust 

reverser, which can result in loss of 

control of the airplane. This AD requires 

performing a check of the holding 

torque of the TRAS locks, and if 

necessary a visual inspection of the 

TRAS lock flexible drive shafts, within 

10 flight cycles after all aborted takeoffs 

in which the thrust reverser was 

deployed. This AD also requires 

replacing any damaged flexible drive 

shafts or locks. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

Since there are currently no domestic 

operators of this engine model, notice 

and opportunity for public comment 

before issuing this AD are unnecessary. 

A situation exists that allows the
