    Comments regarding this information collection received by March

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: USDA Professional Standards Training Tracker Tool (PSTTT).
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: Section 306 of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids 
Act of 2010 (HHFKA) 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 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 PSTTT 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.
    Need and Use of the Information: State and school nutrition 
professionals can use the PSTTT to keep track of their training 
courses, learning objectives, and training hours, in accordance with 
HHFKA requirements. State reviewers can run reports from the PSTTT that 
they can use in preparation for Administrative Reviews that are 
conducted onsite at the school food authorities.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 10,006.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Quarterly; 
Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 17,090.
