SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 7 CFR part 210, National School Lunch Program.
OMB Number: 0584-0075, Form Number FNS-13.
Expiration Date: 1/31/2011.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service administers the National
School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, and the Special
Milk Program as mandated by the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (NSLA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.), and the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.). Information
on school program operations is collected from State agencies on a
yearly basis to monitor and make adjustments to State agency funding
requirements. As provided in 7 CFR 210.17, each school year, State
revenues must be appropriated or used specifically by the State for
Federal school lunch program purposes. The amount that must be
appropriated or used generally is at least 30% of the funds received by
the State under Section 4 of the NSLA (42 U.S.C. 1753) during the
school year beginning July 1, 1980, unless exemptions or waivers are
met, as described in 7 CFR 210.17. FNS uses form FNS-13 to collect data
on State revenue matching to meet the reporting required by 7 CFR
210.17(g). The form is an intrinsic part of the accounting system
currently being used by the subject programs to ensure proper
reimbursement as well as to facilitate adequate recordkeeping. The FNS-
13 form is provided to States through a web-based Federal reporting
system and 100 percent of the information is collected through
electronic means. The instructions on FNS-13 are being updated and this
is a minor change that did not increase the burden hours. The burden
hours have not changed.
Affected Public: State agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 57 State agencies.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 57.
Estimated Time per Response: 80 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4,560 hours.
See the table below for estimated total annual burden for each type
of respondent.
