Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Report of Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program Issuance 

and Report of Commodity Distribution 

for Disaster Relief. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0037. 

Summary of Collection: Disaster 

assistance through the Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is 

authorized by sections 402 and 502 of 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act (42 

U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the temporary 

emergency provisions contained in 

Section 5 of the Food and Nutrition Act 

of 2008, and in 7 CFR part 280 of the 

SNAP regulations. This program is 

initiated in a SNAP project area by FNS 

when all or part of the area has been 

affected by a disaster. Food distribution 

in a disaster situation is authorized 

under Section 32 of the Act of August 

24, 1935. Surplus foods are made 

available by State distributing agencies 

for relief purposes to victims of natural 

disaster such as hurricanes, floods, 

tornadoes, etc. Distribution to these 

recipients is made primarily through 

such organizations as the American Red 

Cross or the Salvation Army. These 

organizations use surplus foods for both 

central feeding operations and for 

distribution to families in homes cut off 

from normal sources of food supply. 

Need and Use of the Information: FNS 

will collect information through the use 

of form FNS–292–A and B, which is 

used to monitor program activity, assess 

coverage provided to recipients, and 

assure the validity of requested 

commodity reimbursement and to 

prepare budget requests. If the 

information were not collected, FNS 

would be unable to monitor the 

issuance of SNAP benefits and the 

distribution of surplus foods during 

disaster situations.

Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Child Nutrition Database. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0494. 

Summary of Collection: The Child 

Nutrition Database (CNDB) is required 

under 7 CFR 210.10(i)(4) to be part of all 

the nutrient analysis software approved 

by the United States Department of 

Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition 

Service (FNS) in implementation of the 

National School Lunch Program (NSLP) 

and School Breakfast Program (SBP). 

This database is designed to be 

incorporated into USDA-approved 

nutrient analysis software and is used to 

provide an accurate source of nutrient 

data. The software allows schools 

participating in the NSLP and the SBP 

to analyze meals and measure the 

compliance of the menus to established 

nutrition goals and standards specified 

in 7 CFR 210.10 for the NSLP and 7 CFR 

220.8 for the SBP. The CNDB is updated 

annually with brand name or 

manufactured foods commonly used in 

school food service. Form FNS–710 CN 

Database Qualification Report is used to 

collect the nutrient data from the food 

industry. The form is available as a 

paper form, through an online Web 

Tool, or as a spreadsheet. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

State agencies use the CNDB to obtain 

the nutrient data for foods typically 

used in school recipes and menus, as 

well as for food products that are 

marketed to schools by food 

manufacturers. This data is necessary 

for the State agencies to monitor their 

compliance with the dietary 

specifications for calories, saturated fat, 

and sodium and to conduct the nutrient 

analysis of school lunches and 

breakfasts required by administrative 

reviews. The CNDB contains nutrient 

composition data for: (1) Food items 

from the USDA National Nutrient 

Database for Standard Reference (SR); 

(2) standardized recipes for Child 

Nutrition Programs developed by FNS; 

(3) brand name commercially processed 

foods; and (4) USDA Foods 

(commodities). 

Description of Respondents: 

Businesses or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 32. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 2,240.
