Title: Importation of Wooden
Handicrafts from China.
Omb Control Number: 0579–0357.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests new to the United States or
not known to be widely distributed
throughout the United States. The
regulations in ‘‘Subpart-Logs, Lumber,
and Other Unmanufactured Wood
Articles’’ (7 CFR 319.40–1 through
319.40–11, referred to as the
regulations) govern the importation of
various logs, lumber, and other
unmanufactured wood products in the
United States. APHIS’ regulations
provide for the importation of wooden
handicrafts from China under certain
conditions. Trade in these handicrafts
has resumed while continuing to protect

the United States against the
introduction of plant pests.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS uses the following information
activities to allow for trade in Chinese
wooden handicrafts while continuing to
protect the United States: Merchandise
tags, a fumigation certification, and an
application for permit to import timber
or timber products. Failure to collect
this information would cause foreign
countries to refuse any shipments from
the United States that contained
wooden handcrafts, a development that
could cause a significant disruption in
trade with foreign countries and result
in serious economic consequences not
only to U.S. exporters, but to many U.S.
industries that export products to
foreign countries.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: 7 CFR part 245, Determining
Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price
Meals and Free Milk in Schools.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0026.
Summary of Collection: The Richard
B. Russell National School Lunch Act
(NSLA), as amended, authorizes the
National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
Section 9, Paragraph 9(b) of the NSLA
provides that the income guidelines for
determining eligibility for free school
meals must be 130 percent, and reduced
price school meals must be 185 percent,
of the applicable family size income
levels contained in the non-farm income
poverty guidelines prescribed by the
Office of Management and Budget, as
adjusted annually. The Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Title 7 CFR part 245,
Determining Eligibility for Free and
Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk in
Schools, sets forth policies and
procedures for implementing these
provisions. These federal regulations
require schools operating the NSLP to
determine children’s eligibility for free
and reduced-price meals on the basis of
each child’s household income and size,
and to establish operating procedures
that will prevent physical segregation,
or other discrimination against, or overt
identification of children unable to pay
the full price for meals or milk. Section
104 of the Child Nutrition and WIC
Reauthorization Act of 2004 added
section 9(b)(4) to the NSLA (42 U.S.C.
1758(b)(4)) to require school food
authorities to directly certify, without
further application, any child who is a
member of a household receiving
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) benefits.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
will collect information to determine
eligibility of children for free and
reduced price meals and for free milk
and to assure that there is no physical

Food Nutrition Service
Title: Regional Office Administered
Program (ROAP) Child Nutrition
Payment Center (for the National School
Lunch, School Breakfast, and Special
Milk Programs).
OMB Control Number: 0584–0284.
Summary of Collection: Section 5 of
the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 [U.S.C.
1774] specifies that if the Secretary of
Agriculture is administering (in whole
or in part) any program authorized
under this Act, the State in which the
Secretary is administering the program
may, upon request to the Secretary,
assume administration of that program.
If a State educational agency is not
permitted by law to disburse the funds
paid to it under this Act to any of the
nonpublic schools in the State, the
Secretary shall disburse the funds
directly to such schools within the State
for the same purposes and subject to the
same conditions as are authorized or
required with respect to the
disbursements to public schools within
the State by the State educational
agency. In States where the FNS
Regional Office administers the National
School Lunch, School Breakfast, and
Special Milk Programs as a Regional
Office Administered Program (ROAP),
school food authorities (SFAs) or local
institutions must submit the monthly
claim for reimbursement data to the
Regional Office for processing to receive
reimbursement.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information is collected electronically
from school food authorities that
participate in the National School
Lunch, School Breakfast, and Special
Milk Programs that are administered
directly by the associated USDA FNS
Regional Office as a ROAP. The ROAP
system is used to collect application and
meal count information which is used to
process claims for reimbursement. The
application information is collected
annually, while the meal count
information is collected monthly.

Local or Tribal Government.
