SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Child Nutrition Program Operations Study-II (CN-OPS-II).
    Form Number: N/A.
    OMB Number: 0584--NEW.
    Expiration Date of Approval: Not yet determined.
    Type of Information Collection Request: New information collection.
    Abstract: The objective of the Child Nutrition Program Operations 
Study-II (CN-OPS-II) is to collect timely data on policies, 
administrative, and operational issues on the Child Nutrition Programs. 
The ultimate goal is to analyze these data and to provide input for new 
legislation on Child Nutrition Programs as well as to provide pertinent 
technical assistance and training to program implementation staff.
    The CN-OPS-II will help the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) better 
understand and address current policy issues related to Child Nutrition 
Programs (CNP) operations. The policy and operational issues include, 
but are not limited to, the preparation of the program budget, 
development and implementation of program policy and regulations, and 
identification of areas for technical assistance and training. 
Specifically, this study will help FNS obtain:
    [ssquf] General descriptive data on the Child Nutrition (CN) 
program characteristics to help FNS respond to questions about the 
nutrition programs in schools;
    [ssquf] Data related to program administration for designing and 
revising program regulations, managing resources, and reporting 
requirements; and
    [ssquf] Data related to program operations to help FNS develop and 
provide training and technical assistance for School Food Authorities 
(SFAs) and State Agencies responsible for administering the CN 
programs.
    The activities to be undertaken subject to this notice include:
    [ssquf] Conducting a multi-modal (e.g. paper, Web, and telephone) 
survey of approximately 1,500 SFA Directors.
    [ssquf] Conducting a paper survey of all 56 State Agency CN 
Directors.
    Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Type of Respondents: 1,500 SFA Directors and 56 State CN Directors.
    Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 1,556.
    Frequency of Response: 3.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 4,668.
    Estimate of Time per Respondent and Annual Burden: Public reporting 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one 
hundred fifty (150) minutes per Self-Administered Survey for the SFA 
Directors and the State Agency CN Directors (this includes 60 minutes 
for data gathering, 60 minutes to respond to the questionnaire, and 30 
minutes for pre-notification and follow-up activities). The average 
time across all respondents is 50 minutes (0.83 hours). The annual 
reporting burden is estimated at 3,890 hours (see table below).
