SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Information Collection for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). OMB Number: 0584-0280. Expiration Date: March 31, 2016. Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: SFSP is authorized under section 13 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1761). The SFSP is directed toward children in low-income areas when school is not in session and is operated locally by approved sponsors. Local sponsors may include public or private non-profit school food authorities (SFAs), public or private non-profit residential summer camps, units of local, municipal, county or State governments, or other private non- profit organizations that develop a special summer program and provide meal service similar to that available to children during the school year under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP). This is a revision of a currently approved collection. It revises reporting burden as a result of an increase in participating sponsors. Current OMB inventory for this collection includes Reporting and Recordkeeping burden and that consists of 175,391 hours. The reporting burden was slightly increased from 139,989 to 150,646 and Record keeping burden was increased from 35,402 to 43,758. This collection is requesting a total increase of 19, 012 burden hours. FNS 418 is no longer a part of this collection as it has been listed under a separate collection (0584-0594). The average burden per response and the annual burden hours for reporting and recordkeeping are explained below and summarized in the charts which follow. Affected Public: State Agencies, Camps and Other Sites and Households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 106,621. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 7.35195. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 783,872. Estimate Time per Response: 0.248005. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 194,403. Current OMB Inventory: 175,391. Difference (Burden Revisions Requested): 19,012.
