[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 114 (Tuesday, June 14, 2016)] [Notices] [Pages 38658-38659] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-14008] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Food and Nutrition Service Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: Comment Request--Professional Standards Training Tracker Tool AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), USDA. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice invites the general public and other public agencies to comment on this proposed information collection. This collection is a new collection for assisting state agencies to record, track and manage the required training hours in four major areas (Nutrition, Operations, Administration, Communications and Marketing) to meet the requirements of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010 Professional Standards Rule. The HHFKA (section 306) requires Professional Standards for state and local school district nutrition professionals. In addition to hiring standards, mandatory annual training will be required for all individuals involved in preparing school meals. To meet the training requirements and assist in keeping track of training courses, FNS is developing a web-based application tool with a SQL- server database which will be made available to local educational agencies and school food authorities through the FNS public Web site. While training requirements are mandatory, using the USDA Tracking Tool is voluntary. School nutrition professionals can use any method to track and manage their trainings. These resources will facilitate compliance with HHFKA requirements and will be provided at no cost to the state, district, or individuals. DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 15, 2016. ADDRESSES: 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 of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions that were used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 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. Comments may be sent to: Kaushalya Heendeniya, Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 3101 Park Center Drive, Room 630, Alexandria, VA 22302. Comments may also be submitted via fax to the attention of Kaushalya Heendeniya at 703-305-2549 or via email to [email protected]. Comments will also be accepted through the Federal eRulemaking Portal. Go to http://www.regulations.gov, and follow the online instructions for submitting comments electronically. All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments will be a matter of public record. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or copies of this information collection should be directed to Kaushalya Heendeniya at 703-305-0037. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Professional Standards Training Tracker Tool. Form Number: 0584--NEW. Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined. Type of Request: New Collection. Abstract: The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 (section 306) requires Professional Standards for state and local school district nutrition professionals. In addition to hiring standards, mandatory annual training will be required for all individuals involved in preparing school meals. To meet the training requirements and assist in keeping track of training and training courses, FNS is developing a web-based application tool with a SQL-server database which will be made available to local educational agencies and school food authorities through the FNS public Web site, with a login authentication. These resources will facilitate compliance with HHFKA requirements and will be provided at no cost to the state, district, or individuals. In addition, there will be a mobile friendly version of this Professional Standards Training Tracking Tool application to ensure easy usage and accessibility across mobile devices. The application will be compatible with all mobile operating systems (iOS, Android, and Windows). The user will be able to create a user profile with the following information:School District/Address School Name/Address Individual Name--Contact Information/Email address Title of Individual or Role in school nutrition program [[Page 38659]] Hiring Date The user will be logging in the following information: Key Area Training Topic Learning Objective Training Title Training Hours/Minutes Date of Training Provider or Organization offering training, including state, local or national Level of Training by employee position (e.g. employee, manager, etc.) The user will have the ability to enter multiple names for one specific training without having to repeatedly enter training information. Certificates of completion can be printed. The tool will also provide the user the ability to export and save results in multiple file formats, including PDF (.pdf), Excel and Word 2000 or higher (.docx). It will have a user-centered, simple, intuitive interface. Streamlined and intuitive navigation will be offered for easy access to all functionality. Affected Public: Individual/Households and State, Local, and Tribal Government. Respondent groups include local educational agencies, school food authorities, and school nutrition professionals. Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated number of respondents is 10,006.
