including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of

minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by 
September 12, 2016 will be considered. Written comments should be 
addressed to: Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental 
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-

8958.

    Title: Erroneous Payments in Child Care Centers Study (EPICCS).
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Child and Adult Care Food Program 
(CACFP), administered by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), is 
authorized at Section 17 of the National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 
1766). The CACFP supports day care centers through reimbursements of 
costs for serving nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and 
adults. The Improper Payments Information Act (IPIA) of 2002 (Pub. L. 
107-300) set annual requirements for Federal programs, such as CACFP, 
to report estimates of improper payments in an effort to improve 
program integrity. Further guidance was provided in a 2009 Executive 
Order and by the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA) 
of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-204) and the Improper Payments Elimination and 
Recovery Improvement Act (IPERIA) of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-248), which 
amended and expanded IPIA requirements. In order to comply with 
reporting requirements concerning improper payments, FNS is conducting 
the Erroneous Payments in Child Care Centers Study (EPICCS). This study 
will focus on CACFP operations in participating child care centers and 
their sponsoring organizations. This study is necessary for FNS's 
annual compliance with IPERA in the child care center component of 
CACFP.
    Need and Use of the Information: The data collected from EPICCS 
will be used to produce national estimates of improper or erroneous 
payments in the child care center component of the CACFP resulting from 
certification, aggregation, and meal claiming errors; to develop models 
for calculating annual, national estimates for all three types of 
errors; and to describe methodologies for generating State-level 
erroneous payment estimates in a White Paper. FNS will also use the 
data to fulfill reporting requirements under IPERA to annually measure 
and report erroneous payments in the CACFP, to identify the sources of 
erroneous payments, and to inform its policy-making and regulatory 
processes for maintenance and improvements in program integrity.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households, Businesses 
or other for-profits, Not-for profit institutions, and State, Local, or 
Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 8,942.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 13,906.
