Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: 7 CFR part 215--Special Milk Program for Children.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0005.
    Summary of Collection: Section 3 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) 
of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-642, as amended; 42 U.S.C. 1772) authorizes the 
Special Milk Program (SMP) for Children. It provides for appropriation 
of such sums as may be necessary to enable the Secretary of 
Agriculture, under such rules and regulations as the Secretary may deem 
in the public interest, to encourage consumption of fluid milk by 
children in the United States in (1) nonprofit schools of high school 
grades and under, and (2) nonprofit nursery schools, child care 
centers, settlement houses, summer camps, and similar nonprofit 
institutions devoted to the care and training of children, which do not 
participate in a food service program authorized under the CNA or the 
National School Lunch Act.
    Need and Use of the Information: The SMP is administered at the 
State, school food authority (SFA), and child care institution levels. 
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) collects information concerning 
the operation of the program including the submission of applications 
and agreements, submission and payment of claims, and the maintenance 
of records. Without this information FNS would not be able to reimburse 
schools and institutions in a timely manner to allow them to properly 
administer the program. In addition, data reporting would be delayed 
and the timely monitoring of program funding and program trends would 
be affected.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 3,933.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On Occasion, 
Monthly, and Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 14,914.

    Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program--Supplemental 
Nutrition Assistance for Victims of Disasters.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0336.
    Summary of Collection: The authority to operate the Disaster 
Supplemental

[[Page 65691]]

Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) is found in section 5(h) of the 
Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, formerly the Food Stamp Act of 1977, as 
amended and the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, as amended by the Robert 
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Assistance Act of 1988 authorizes the 
Secretary of Agriculture to establish temporary emergency standards of 
eligibility for victims of a disaster if the commercial channels of 
food distribution have been disrupted, and subsequently restored. D-
SNAP is a program that is separate from the Supplemental Nutrition 
Assistance Program (SNAP) and is conducted for a specific period of 
time. In order for a State to request to operate a D-SNAP, an affected 
area in the State must have received a Presidential Declaration of 
``Major Disaster'' with Individual Assistance.
    Need and Use of the Information: This information collection 
concerns information obtained from State agencies seeking to operate D-
SNAP. A State agency request to operate a D-SNAP must contain the 
following information: Description of incident; geographic area; 
application period; benefit period; eligibility criteria; ongoing 
household eligibility; affected population; electronic benefit card 
issuance process; logistical plans for Disaster SNAP rollout; staffing; 
public information outreach; duplicate participation check process; 
fraud prevention strategies; and employee application procedures. The 
Food and Nutrition Service reviews the request to ensure that all the 
necessary requirements to conduct a D-SNAP are met. If this collection 
is not conducted, D-SNAP would not be available to help meet the 
nutritional needs of disaster victims.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 9.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 90.
