1The USDA FNS National Data Bank provides a 

single official repository to support the analysis and 

public release of FNS program information through 

the Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS) OMB 

Control No. 0584–0594 Expiration 6/2019, data 

from various FNS programs are extracted and 

imported into the NDB database. This number 

includes meals served through both SFSP and SSO. 

intended to be used as one indicator in 

targeting and designing outreach 

activities and in assessing compliance 

with civil rights laws in program 

delivery. The data may also be used as 

an indicator in directing compliance 

reviews to geographic areas where there 

are indications of low participation in 

USDA programs by minorities and 

women, thus serving as an ‘‘early 

warning system’’ that warrants further 

investigations. Failure to collect this 

information will have a negative impact 

on USDA’s outreach activities and could 

result in an inability of the agencies to 

equitably deliver programs and services 

to applicant and producers. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents: 3,200,000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Summer Meals Study. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

OMB Number: 0584–NEW. 

Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Abstract: The Federally-funded 

Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) 

and the National School Lunch 

Program’s Seamless Summer Option 

(SSO) provide healthy meals and snacks 

to children through 18 years of age, in 

low-income areas during summer 

months when school is not in session. 

Open summer sites provide free meals 

to children in geographical areas where 

at least 50 percent of children are 

eligible for free or reduced price school 

meals (i.e., at or below 185 percent of 

the Federal poverty level). Closed 

enrolled summer sites provide free 

meals to children enrolled in an activity 

program where at least half of the 

children are individually determined 

eligible for free or reduced price meals. 

Open and enrolled sites, as well as sites 

that predominantly serve children of 

migrant workers, receive reimbursement 

from the United States Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) for the meals they 

serve to all children in attendance. The 

reimbursement rates vary depending on 

the type of meal served (i.e., breakfast, 

lunch, supper, or snack) and whether 

the site is operating SFSP or SSO. The 

SFSP and SSO sites operate at State, 

Local or Tribal locations such as public 

and private nonprofit schools, local 

government agencies, business 

organizations such as youth sports 

programs, churches, and food pantries. 

In July 2016, 5,525 sponsors managed 

48,618 sites and served 3.85 million 

summer meals to participating 

children.1 However, summer meals 

reach only a small percent of the 

children receiving free or reduced price 

meals during the school year. This study 

will help identify strategies to increase 

participation in summer meals as well 

as assess the nutritional quality of the 

meals served to children. Legislation 

requires those programs participating in 

the SFSP or SSO to cooperate with 

program research and evaluation 

(Section 305 of the Healthy Hunger Free 

Kids Act). 

The six study objectives are: (1) 

Identify reasons children and their 

caregivers participate in summer meals 

and their satisfaction levels with the 

program; (2) Assess how characteristics 

differ between participants and eligible 

nonparticipants of SFSP and SSO; (3) 

Determine the reasons eligible families 

do not participate in SFSP and SSO; (4) 

Determine the food service 

characteristics of SFSP and SSO sites; 

(5) Describe the characteristics and 

content of SFSP and SSO meals and 

snacks; and (6) Assess facilitators and 

barriers to preparing and serving SFSP 

and SSO meals and snacks. 

A nationally representative study 

with a mixed-methods research design 

will be used to address the six study 

objectives. States will be selected for the 

study using FNS administrative data on 

SFSP and SSO program size. In the 

selected States, State agencies 

administering SFSP and SSO will 

provide lists of participating sites and 

sponsors from which the sample of sites 

will be drawn. State agencies 

administering the Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in 

these States will provide SNAP caseload 

data. These data will be used in 

conjunction with postal data to identify 

children in the catchment areas of 

sampled sites. Quantitative and 

qualitative data will be collected from 

SFSP and SSO sponsors and sites, 

former sponsors, and participants and 

eligible nonparticipants. 

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 shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden on the 

proposed collection of information,

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 22, 2017 / Notices 39751 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions that were 

used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Affected Public: Respondent groups 

identified include: (1) Individuals/ 

Households (preschool- and school-aged 

children and teens eligible for 

participation in summer meals and their 

caregivers); (2) State/Local Government 

(SFSP and SSO State agencies, SNAP 

State agencies, and SFSP and SSO 

sponsors, former sponsors, and sites); 

and (3) Businesses-for-not-for-Profit 

(SFSP sponsors, former sponsors, and 

sites). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

88, 222.48. Out of the 88,222 sample 

size initially contacted, FNS anticipates 

approximately 44,340.59 will respond 

and 43,881 will not respond during the 

initial contact. FNS will continue to recontact non-respondents to reach the 

desired participation rates. This 

includes: 85,575 individuals and 

households, 59 State, Local or Tribal 

agencies; 1,108 sponsors (665 in the 

State/Local Government category and 

443 in the Business category); and1,480 

site supervisors (888 in the State/Local 

Government category and 592 in the 

Business category). 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 3.67. SFSP and SSO State 

agencies will be asked to provide lists 

of participating sites/sponsors twice: 

Once to draw the initial sample (based 

on sites and sponsors participating in 

the Summer of 2017), and then again to 

finalize the sample to include sites and 

sponsors participating in the Summer of 

2018. SNAP State agencies will be asked 

to provide caseload data once. 

Caregivers and their children will be 

asked to respond to one survey, and a 

subset of caregivers will be invited to 

participate in a follow-up key informant 

interview. Sponsors and site supervisors 

will respond to one survey, and a subset 

will be invited to participate in a followup telephone interview. Those sponsors 

and site supervisors responsible for 

menu planning for the sampled site will 

also be asked to respond to a menu 

planning survey, and to provide details 

on the meals from one week of menus. 

Some of these sponsors and sites will 

receive a follow-up menu report to fill 

in details missing from their original 

submission of menu information. 

Former sponsors will be asked to 

respond to one telephone interview. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

323,788. There are approximately 

169.470.33 total annual responses from 

participants and approximately 

154,307.74 non-responses for those we 

contacted. Some non-participants were 

re-contacted more than once. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Response: 0.6875. The estimated time of 

response varies from 1 minute to 60 

minutes depending on the respondent 

group, as shown in the table below; the 

average estimated response is 0.13 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 22,262. The total public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated at 22,261.68 

rounded up to 22,262 burden hours and 

323,778 total annual responses. Out of 

the 22,262 burden hours 18,924 are for 

respondents and 3337.67 burden hours 

are for non-respondents. See the table 

below for estimated total annual burden 

for each type of respondent.

Title: SNAP-Ed Connection Recipe 

Submission and Review Forms. 

OMB Number: 0584–0624. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Expiration Date: 10.31.17. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved information collect 

request. 

Abstract: We are requesting an update 

in the name of this form. The name 

change from Food Stamp to SNAP was 

based on the Farm Bill, The Food, 

Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 

(Pub. L. 110–234, H.R. 2419, 122 Stat. 

923, Section 4001 enacted May 22, 

2008, also known as the 2008 U.S. Farm 

Bill). 

The What’s Cooking? USDA Mixing 

Bowl (formerly the Food Stamp 

Nutrition Connection Recipe Finder, 

and then SNAP-Ed Connection Recipe 

Finder) https://

whatscooking.fns.usda.gov is an on-line 

recipe database. This database is a 

central location for recipe users to 

submit and search for healthy recipes 

that support the Dietary Guidelines for 

Americans 2015 (DGA). The recipe 

database is now a combination of 

recipes from other USDA Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) programs such 

as the Food Distribution Programs (FDP) 

(Food Distribution on Indian 

Reservations, Commodity Supplemental 

Food Program, and The Emergency 

Food Assistance Program), Child 

Nutrition Programs (CNP), and the 

Center for Nutrition Policy and 

Promotion (CNPP). The recipes benefit 

(individuals/households) consumers, 

State Agency staff, SNAP-Ed instructors, 

school nutrition experts, and (businessfor-not-for-profit) the private sector. 

The Recipe Finder Submission Form 

allows SNAP-Ed instructors, 

individuals/household consumers from 

the general public, USDA Foods 

program operators, other Federal 

entities and State Agency nutrition 

programs, school nutrition experts, and 

(business-for-not-for-profit) the private 

sector to submit recipes on-line, making 

the submission process efficient. The 

criteria for recipe inclusion vary by 

program area. Staff from SNAP-Ed 

Connection, CNPP, FDP, and CNP 

reviews the data collected from the 

voluntary Recipe Finder Submission 

Form. Only Staff will review the form to 

determine whether a recipe is eligible 

for inclusion in the database. 

Data collected (such as names, 

addresses, emails and affiliations) from 

The Recipe Review Form allows recipe 

users to provide feedback about the 

recipe that may help future users & 

allows the Federal entity to reach out to 

request any changes in the recipe to 

meet the DGA. Any Web site user is able 

to leave comments. Estimated burden 

for each form and affected public is 

defined in the table below.
