Type of Request: Extension of

clearance for existing collection

Abstract: 7 CFR Part 245,

‘‘Determining Eligibility for Free and

Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk’’,

sets forth policies and procedures for

use by State agencies (SA) and local

level organizations, administering or

operating the child nutrition programs,

in providing meals free or at a reduced

price to eligible children. Under section

9(b)(1) of the National School Lunch Act

(NSLA), (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)), the

Secretary prescribes income eligibility

guidelines for free and reduced price

lunches. Any child who is a member of

a household whose income, at the time

the application is submitted, is at an

annual rate which does not exceed the

applicable family-size income level of

the income eligibility guidelines for free

lunches, shall be served a free lunch.

Any child who is a member of a

household whose income, at the time

the application is submitted, is at an

annual rate greater than the income

level of the income eligibility guidelines

for free lunches, but less than or equal

to the applicable family-size income

eligibility guidelines for reduced price

lunches, shall be served a reduced price

lunch. Section 4(e) of the Child

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

1773(e)) requires that breakfasts served

to school children will be served free or

at a reduced price under the same terms

and conditions as are set forth with

respect to the service of lunches free or

at a reduced price in section 9 of the

NSLA.

Eligibility determinations are to be

made by cross-referencing family

income with family size. Section 9(b)(2)

of the NSLA requires each SA to

announce the income guidelines issued

by the Secretary, for use by schools

under the SA’s jurisdiction. The

information collection requirements of 7

CFR Part 245 involve the certification

and verification of children as meeting

these guidelines.

Estimate of Burden: The reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated at 657,743 burden hours.

The major areas of the reporting burden

are attributed to the completion of

applications for benefits by households;

and notification to households by

school food authorities utilizing direct

certification that children are eligible to

receive free meals; i.e., 289,717 and

160,521 hours, respectively. The

recordkeeping burden is estimated at

369,782 burden hours. The review of

applications and eligibility

determinations by schools comprises

the majority of the recordkeeping

burden, i.e., 215,332 hours.

Respondents: State agencies, school

food authorities, schools, households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

8,298,688 respondents.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: .863 responses.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 1,027,525 burden hours.

Dated: June 21, 1996.

establishment of riparian forest buffers;

and stabilization of severely eroding

streambanks. Conservation easements

included perpetual floodplain and

wetland easements.

Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices 35709

OMB Number: 0575–0105.

Expiration Date of Approval:

December 31, 1996.

Type of Request: Extension of a

currently approved information

collection.

Abstract: The rural housing loan

program under Section 502 of the

Housing Act of 1949, 42 U.S.C. Section

1472, enables persons of low- to

moderate income to purchase adequate

but modest dwellings in rural areas. In

addition, the program includes

borrowers that obtain financing from the

RHS under Section 504 of the Housing

Act of 1949. The Section 504 program

enables very low-income owneroccupants in rural areas to obtain loans

to remove unsafe, unhealthy, and

hazardous conditions from their homes.

RHS has the responsibility, to assure

that when it is determined that the

borrower or grantee was not eligible for

all or part of the financial assistance

which they received that appropriate

action is taken. The borrower or grantee

may be required to repay the

unauthorized financial assistance

received or establish a repayment

schedule for the unauthorized

assistance.

RHS will be collecting information on

borrowers or grantees who may be

recipients of unauthorized assistance.

The information is collected and

evaluated by the local RHS County

Office. The information is needed by the

Agency to determine if the borrowers/

grantees have received financial

assistance for which they are not

eligible. The information is collected

when RHS becomes aware that the

borrowers/grantees may have received

unauthorized assistance. If not

collected, the borrower/grantee would

be unable to provide evidence that they

did not receive unauthorized assistance

and the Agency would be unable to

obtain further information to assist in

their determination of unauthorized

assistance.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average .92 hours per

response.

Respondents: Individuals or

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

2,100

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 1.14

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 2,229

Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of RHS,

including whether the information will

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of

RHS’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
