Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

November 14, 2017.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding (1) whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to 
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 December 
18, 2017 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-

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Summer Meal Study.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The USDA Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) 
and the National School Lunch Program Seamless Summer Option (SSO) 
provide healthy meals and snacks to children through 18 years of age, 
in low-income areas during summer months when school is not in session. 
Legislation requires programs participating in the SFSP or SSO to 
participate in program research and evaluation (Section 305 of the 
Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act).
    Need and Use of the Information: In July 2016, the programs served 
3.85 million summer meals to participating children. However, summer 
meals reach only a small percent of the children receiving free or 
reduced price meals during the school year. This study will help 
identify strategies to increase participation in summer meals as well 
as assess the nutritional quality of the meals served to children.

Business-not-for-profit (734) and State, Local & Tribal agencies 
(1,142).
