SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: State Agency (NSLP/SNAP) Direct Certification Rate Data Element Report (FNS-834). Form Number: FNS-834. OMB Number: 0584-0577. Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined. Type of Request: Reinstatement, without change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired. Abstract: The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA), as amended, authorizes the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Section 101(b) of the HHFKA, amended section 9(b)(4) of the NSLA (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)(4)) to define required percentage benchmarks for directly certifying children who are members of households receiving assistance under Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and further amended the NSLA to require, beginning with SY 2011-2012, that each State agency that does not meet the benchmark for a particular school year develop, submit, and implement a continuous improvement plan (CIP) to fully meet the benchmarks and to improve direct certification for the following school year. FNS must calculate the direct certification rates for States and compare them to the benchmarks to determine which States will need to submit CIPs. To calculate these direct certification rates, FNS annually collects specific direct certification data elements from SNAP State agencies and NSLP State agencies on form FNS-834, State Agency (NSLP/SNAP) Direct Certification Rate Data Element Report. The form is available for review in the Supporting Documents of this docket. The FNS-834 will be made available in the Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS) (OMB Control Number 0584-0594, expiration date 6/30/ 2017). The burden for 0584-0577 will subsequently be merged into the FPRS system. Affected Public (Respondents): State Agencies. Estimated Number of Respondents: 106. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 106. Average Hours per Response: .5. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 53.
