non-entitlement discretionary grant
programs to collect the information from
grant applicants needed to evaluate and

authorities for these grants vary. The
term ‘‘grant’’ in this submission refers
only to non-entitlement discretionary
grants or cooperative agreements.
Discretionary grant announcements
include a number of information
collections, including a ‘‘project
description’’ (program narrative), budget
information, disclosure of lobbying
activities certification, and disclosure of
Corporate Felony Convictions and
Corporate Federal Tax Delinquencies.
The requirements for the program
narrative statement are based on the
requirements for program narrative
statements described in section 1.c (5) of
OMB Circular A–102 and OMB A–110
(as implemented at USDA 7 CFR part
3015, 3016 and 3019); and will apply to

hospitals, and for profit organizations.
Need and Use of the Information: The
primary users of the information
collected from the applicant are FNS
and other Federal staff who will serve
on a panel to systematically review,
evaluate, and approve the grant/
cooperative agreement applications and
recommend the applicants most likely
to meet program objectives and most
responsive to the solicitation. The
selection criteria will be contained in
the Request for Application package.
Without this information, FNS will not
have adequate data to select appropriate
grantees or evaluate which grants
should be continued, or monitor
financial reporting requirements.

Guidelines for Americans (DGA), as well
as the tools and resources used to
implement the Dietary Guidelines—
previously known as the MyPyramid
food guidance system. The Dietary
Guidelines, a primary source of dietary
health information, are issued jointly by
the USDA and Health and Human
Services and serve as the cornerstone of
Federal nutrition policy and form the
basis for nutrition education efforts of
these agencies. After the release of the
2010 DGA a new communication
initiative built around USDA’s new
MyPlate icon, including the resources at
ChooseMyPlate.gov, was launched.
MyPlate is a visual cue supported by
Dietary Guidelines messages to help
consumer make better food choices.
Need and Use of the Information:
CNPP will collect information to
develop practical and meaningful
nutrition and physical activity guidance
for Americans to help improve their
health. The collected information will
also be used to expand the knowledge
base concerning how the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans
recommendations and messages
supporting MyPlate are understood and
how they can be used by consumers to
improve balance of their food intake
with physical energy expenditure for
good health. If this information is not
collected, USDA’s ability to incorporate
messages and materials that are
practical, meaningful, and relevant for
the intended audience in any proposed
update of the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans or related resources at
Choosemyplate.gov will be impaired.
