certified. The additional pay increase
would not be considered a pay
adjustment for the purpose of applying
5 CFR 534.404(c) (the ‘‘12-month rule’’).
Waiver of 60-Day Comment Period for
Proposed Rulemaking
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), I
find that good cause exists to waive the
60-day comment period for general
notice of proposed rulemaking. Limiting
the comment period for the proposed
regulations to 30 days will enable OPM
to issue final regulations in 2006, which
will give practical effect to these
regulations at the earliest possible
moment. The final regulations will
permit agencies to review the rates of
basic pay set previously in early 2006
for SES members and provide an
additional pay increase, if warranted,
later in 2006 upon certification of the
agency’s senior executive performance
appraisal system.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that these regulations would
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because they would apply to only
Federal agencies and employees.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This proposed rule is part of
the Department’s effort to fulfill its
responsibilities under Executive Orders
13279 and 13280. Under this rule, State
agencies would collect and report
information related to faith-based and
community organizations currently
participating and applying to participate
in Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
nutrition assistance programs. This
information would be added to existing
collections for the affected programs. It
would enable FNS to identify the faithbased and community organizations
participating in FNS programs,
determine the level of participation of
faith-based and community
organizations in its programs, ensure
that FNS’ programs are open to all
eligible organizations and evaluate the
effectiveness of its technical assistance
and outreach efforts. It will not
adversely impact the application or
participation of any organization or
institution currently participating in, or
seeking to participate in FNS nutrition
assistance programs.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before June 1, 2006 to be assured of
consideration.
ADDRESSES: FNS invites interested
persons to submit comments on this
proposed rule. Comments may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with PROPOSALS
Background
Faith-based and community
organizations (FBOs and COs) are
important parts of the social service
system of the United States, offering
assistance to those in need. These
organizations include small nonprofit
organizations that provide access to one
program or multiple services, and
neighborhood groups that respond to a
particular crisis or lead community
renewal. Acting alone or as partners
with other service providers and
government programs, FBOs and COs
serve needy persons, strengthen families
and rebuild communities.
Federal agencies, including this
Department, have been directed to
ensure that Federal policies and
programs allow FBOs and COs to
participate in a manner that is
consistent with the Constitution and
statutory requirements.
On December 16, 2002, Executive
Orders 13279 and 13280 were published
in the Federal Register (67 FR 77139
and 67 FR 77145). Executive Order
13280 created a Center for Faith-Based
and Community Initiatives in the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:45 Mar 02, 2006
Jkt 208001
Department of Agriculture. The Order
charged the Center to coordinate efforts
to identify and eliminate regulatory,
contracting, and other programmatic
obstacles that prevent the full
participation of FBOs and COs in the
delivery of the Department’s social
service programs.
Executive Order 13279 charged all
Federal agencies, including the
Department, to give equal treatment to
FBOs and COs that apply for Federal
assistance used to support social service
programs. Additionally, the Order
instructed Federal agencies to ensure
that they collect data regarding the
participation of FBOs and COs in social
service programs that receive Federal
financial assistance.
On July 9, 2004, the Department
published a final rule, ‘‘Equal
Opportunity for Religious
Organizations,’’ in the Federal Register
(69 FR 41375). This rule established
Departmental policy regarding equal
opportunity for religious organizations
to participate in the Department’s
assistance programs for which other
private organizations are eligible.
Purpose of This Rule
This proposed rule is part of the
Department’s effort to fulfill its
responsibilities under Executive Orders
13279 and 13280. It is essential to
collect information that enables FNS to
identify the faith-based and community
organizations participating in FNS
programs, determine the level of
participation of FBOs and COs in its
programs, ensure that FNS’ programs
are open to all qualified organizations
and evaluate the effectiveness of its
technical assistance and outreach
efforts. The consequence of noncollection would be an inability to
determine the success of efforts to
comply with the Executive Orders.
Requirements
Section 3(b) of Executive Order 13279
provides the Secretary with authority to
‘‘collect data regarding the participation
of faith-based and community
organizations in social service programs
that receive Federal financial
assistance.’’ This proposed rule would
authorize the Secretary to require State
agencies to report on a number of data
elements for Federal fiscal years 2006
through 2009 regarding the
organizations and institutions that
currently participate in and that submit
an application for the purpose of
contracting, or entering into an
agreement, with the State agency to
participate in the National School
Lunch Program; School Breakfast
Program; Summer Food Service

Program; Child and Adult Care Food
Program; Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants
and Children; Commodity
Supplemental Food Program; or the
State agency or a recipient agency to
participate in The Emergency Food
Assistance Program (TEFAP). This rule
would also require State agencies to
collect a second tier of data for TEFAP,
since institutions and organizations may
participate in TEFAP through entities
that are dissimilar in institutional
character.
A variety of approaches to this data
collection are still being considered;
therefore, the data elements to be
included in the report have not yet been
finalized. Data elements under
consideration include:
(a) The total number of organizations
that submitted an application to
participate in the program with
subtotals for the number of faith-based
and community-based organizations;
(b) The total number of applications
that were approved with subtotals for
the number of faith-based and
community-based organizations;
(c) The total number of organizations
and institutions that sign a contract, or
enter into an agreement with subtotals
for the number of faith-based and
community-based organizations;
(d) The total number of organizations
and institutions that actually participate
in the program with subtotals for the
number of faith-based and communitybased organizations;
(e) The name of each organization that
actually participates in the program;
(f) The city in which the participating
organization is headquartered within
the state;
(g) The amount of funds provided to
the participating organization, whether
awarded, granted, contracted, or
reimbursed;
(h) The type of participating
organization, e.g. government agency,
educational institution, for-profit
organization, non-profit organization/
secular, non-profit organization/faithbased, and ‘‘other.’’
It is anticipated that only four or five
of the above proposed data elements
will be included in the final reporting
requirement. The State agency would be
required to report this data to FNS on
or before March 1 for the prior Federal
fiscal year. We solicit comment on
which of these, or other data elements
should be included in the final rule.
Implementation
It is anticipated that the requirements
in this rule would be phased in on a
program-specific basis, thereby enabling
State agencies to include the collection
E:\FR\FM\03MRP1.SGM
03MRP1
10916
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 42 / Friday, March 3, 2006 / Proposed Rules
of new data concurrent with each
program’s time of application, so that a
separate collection specifically to meet
this requirement would not be needed.
However, further guidance will be
provided to State agencies prior to the
time of implementation of the final rule.
This guidance will address appropriate
vehicles and language for the collection
of data to ensure that the results are
comparable across States and programs.
Although it is unlikely this guidance
will be included in the final regulation,
FNS seeks comments on several areas of
guidance under consideration at this
time. These include but are not limited
to:
(a) When and how during the
application process it is best to request
data on the type of organizations
applying and/or participating;
(b) Whether to collect data on
subgrantees (pass-through funding
recipients) in addition to the primary
grantees; and
(c) Which of the specific data
elements proposed above will be
included in the reporting requirement.
Executive Order 12866
This proposed rule has been
determined to be significant but not
economically significant and was
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under Executive
Order 12866.
Regulatory Impact Analysis
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with PROPOSALS
Costs
The cost implications of this proposed
rule are minor. Assuming that State
agencies collect this data as part of the
application process for participation in
the program, this rule will result in a
small additional time burden for each
applicant. Each program varies in the
number of applications it receives and
in how often during a Federal fiscal year
participants must report to their State
agencies so the overall additional time
burden will differ among programs.
Need for Action
Section 3(b) of Executive Order 13279
provides the Secretary with authority to
‘‘collect data regarding the participation
of FBOs and COs in social service
programs that receive Federal financial
assistance.’’ The consequence of noncollection would be an inability to
determine the number of FBO and CO
participants and a failure to comply
with Executive Orders 13279 and 13280.
Benefits
This proposed rule would help the
Department to implement Executive
Orders 13279 and 13280. Collecting
information on FBOs and COs would
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:45 Mar 02, 2006
Jkt 208001
enable FNS to determine the level of
participation in FNS programs by those
organizations and help ensure that its
programs are open to all eligible
organizations.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This proposed rule has been reviewed
with regard to the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601–612). Eric M. Bost, Under Secretary
for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer
Services has certified that this proposed
rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The data
collection which would be implemented
would enable FNS to identify the faithbased and community organizations
participating in FNS programs,
determine the level of participation of
FBOs and COs in its programs, ensure
that FNS’ nutrition assistance programs
are open to all eligible organizations as
mandated by Executive Orders 13279
and 13280, and evaluate the
effectiveness of the Department’s
outreach efforts. While the effect of this
rule would require organizations
seeking to participate or participating in
affected FNS programs to provide the
requested information at the time of
application and at other times, these
reporting changes will not have a
significant economic impact on those
small entities.
Public Law 104–4
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104–4, establishes a requirement
for Federal agencies to assess the effects
of their regulatory actions on State,
local, and tribal governments and the
private sector. Under section 202 of the
UMRA, FNS generally prepares a
written statement, including a costbenefit analysis. This is done for
proposed and final rules that have
‘‘Federal mandates’’ which may result
in expenditures of $100 million or more
in any one year by State, local, or tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector. When this statement is
needed for a rule, section 205 of the
UMRA generally requires FNS to
identify and consider a reasonable
number of regulatory alternatives. It
must then adopt the least costly, most
cost-effective or least burdensome
alternative that achieves the objectives
of the rule.
This proposed rule contains no
Federal mandates of $100 million or
more in any one year (under regulatory
provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for
State, local, and tribal governments or
the private sector. Thus, this rule is not
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
subject to the requirements of sections
202 and 205 of the UMRA.
Executive Order 12372
National School Lunch Program;
School Breakfast Program; Summer
Food Service Program; Child and Adult
Care Food Program; Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants and Children; and the
Commodity Supplemental Food
Program are listed in the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance under Nos.
10.555, 10.553, 10.559, 10.558, 10.557,
and 10.565, respectively. The
Emergency Food Assistance Program is
listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance under Nos. 10.568 and
10.569. These programs are subject to
the provisions of Executive Order
12372, which requires
intergovernmental consultation with
State and local officials (7 CFR part
3015, subpart V, and final rule related
notice at 48 FR 29115, June 24, 1983).
Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132 requires
Federal agencies to consider the impact
of their regulatory actions on State and
local governments. Where such actions
have federalism implications, agencies
are directed to provide a statement for
inclusion in the preamble to the
regulations describing the agency’s
considerations in terms of the three
categories called for under section
(6)(b)(2)(B) of Executive Order 13132.
FNS has considered the impact of this
rule on State and local governments and
has determined that this rule does not
have federalism implications. This rule
does not impose substantial compliance
costs on State and local governments.
Therefore, under Section 6(b) of the
Executive Order, a federalism summary
impact statement is not required.
Executive Order 12988
This proposed rule has been reviewed
under Executive Order 12988, Civil
Justice Reform. This rule is not intended
to have preemptive effect with respect
to any State or local laws, regulations or
policies which conflict with its
provisions or which would otherwise
impede its full implementation. This
rule is not intended to have retroactive
effect unless so specified in the Effective
Date paragraph of the final rule. Prior to
any judicial challenge to the provisions
of this rule or the application of its
provisions, all applicable administrative
procedures must be exhausted.
Civil Rights Impact Analysis
FNS has reviewed this rule in
accordance with the Department
Regulation 4300–4, ‘‘Civil Rights Impact
E:\FR\FM\03MRP1.SGM
03MRP1
10917
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 42 / Friday, March 3, 2006 / Proposed Rules
Analysis,’’ to identify and address any
major civil rights impacts the rule might
have on minorities, women, and persons
with disabilities. After a careful review
of the rule’s intent and provisions, FNS
has determined that this proposed rule
would not in any way limit or reduce
participants’ ability to participate in
FNS’ nutrition assistance programs on
the basis of race, color, national origin,
sex, age, or disability. FNS found no
factors that would negatively and
disproportionately affect any group of
individuals.
Government Paperwork Elimination
Act
FNS is committed to compliance with
the Government Paperwork Elimination
Act (GPEA), which requires Government
agencies to provide the public the
option of submitting information or
transacting business electronically to
the maximum extent possible.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3507) requires the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve all information collections by a
Federal agency from the public before
the collections can be implemented.
Respondents are not required to respond
to any collection of information unless
it displays a current, valid OMB control
number. This proposed rule contains
information collections that are subject
to review and approval by OMB;
therefore, 60-day notices soliciting
public comment on changes in the
information collection burden that
would result from adoption of the
proposal is contained in this rule.
Comments must be received by May
2, 2006.
Send comments to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for FNS,
Washington, DC 20503. Please also send

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Faith-based and community organizations (FBOs and COs) are
important parts of the social service system of the United States,
offering assistance to those in need. These organizations include small
nonprofit organizations that provide access to one program or multiple
services, and neighborhood groups that respond to a particular crisis
or lead community renewal. Acting alone or as partners with other
service providers and government programs, FBOs and COs serve needy
persons, strengthen families and rebuild communities.
Federal agencies, including this Department, have been directed to
ensure that Federal policies and programs allow FBOs and COs to
participate in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution and
statutory requirements.
On December 16, 2002, Executive Orders 13279 and 13280 were
published in the Federal Register (67 FR 77139 and 67 FR 77145).
Executive Order 13280 created a Center for Faith-Based and Community
Initiatives in the Department of Agriculture. The Order charged the
Center to coordinate efforts to identify and eliminate regulatory,
contracting, and other programmatic obstacles that prevent the full
participation of FBOs and COs in the delivery of the Department's
social service programs.
Executive Order 13279 charged all Federal agencies, including the
Department, to give equal treatment to FBOs and COs that apply for
Federal assistance used to support social service programs.
Additionally, the Order instructed Federal agencies to ensure that they
collect data regarding the participation of FBOs and COs in social
service programs that receive Federal financial assistance.
On July 9, 2004, the Department published a final rule, ``Equal
Opportunity for Religious Organizations,'' in the Federal Register (69
FR 41375). This rule established Departmental policy regarding equal
opportunity for religious organizations to participate in the
Department's assistance programs for which other private organizations
are eligible.
Purpose of This Rule
This proposed rule is part of the Department's effort to fulfill
its responsibilities under Executive Orders 13279 and 13280. It is
essential to collect information that enables FNS to identify the
faith-based and community organizations participating in FNS programs,
determine the level of participation of FBOs and COs in its programs,
ensure that FNS' programs are open to all qualified organizations and
evaluate the effectiveness of its technical assistance and outreach
efforts. The consequence of non-collection would be an inability to
determine the success of efforts to comply with the Executive Orders.
Requirements
Section 3(b) of Executive Order 13279 provides the Secretary with
authority to ``collect data regarding the participation of faith-based
and community organizations in social service programs that receive
Federal financial assistance.'' This proposed rule would authorize the
Secretary to require State agencies to report on a number of data
elements for Federal fiscal years 2006 through 2009 regarding the
organizations and institutions that currently participate in and that
submit an application for the purpose of contracting, or entering into
an agreement, with the State agency to participate in the National
School Lunch Program; School Breakfast Program; Summer Food Service
Program; Child and Adult Care Food Program; Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children; Commodity
Supplemental Food Program; or the State agency or a recipient agency to
participate in The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). This rule
would also require State agencies to collect a second tier of data for
TEFAP, since institutions and organizations may participate in TEFAP
through entities that are dissimilar in institutional character.
A variety of approaches to this data collection are still being
considered; therefore, the data elements to be included in the report
have not yet been finalized. Data elements under consideration include:
(a) The total number of organizations that submitted an application
to participate in the program with subtotals for the number of faith-
based and community-based organizations;
(b) The total number of applications that were approved with
subtotals for the number of faith-based and community-based
organizations;
(c) The total number of organizations and institutions that sign a
contract, or enter into an agreement with subtotals for the number of
faith-based and community-based organizations;
(d) The total number of organizations and institutions that
actually participate in the program with subtotals for the number of
faith-based and community-based organizations;
(e) The name of each organization that actually participates in the
program;
(f) The city in which the participating organization is
headquartered within the state;
(g) The amount of funds provided to the participating organization,
whether awarded, granted, contracted, or reimbursed;
(h) The type of participating organization, e.g. government agency,
educational institution, for-profit organization, non-profit
organization/secular, non-profit organization/faith-based, and
``other.''
It is anticipated that only four or five of the above proposed data
elements will be included in the final reporting requirement. The State
agency would be required to report this data to FNS on or before March
1 for the prior Federal fiscal year. We solicit comment on which of
these, or other data elements should be included in the final rule.
Implementation
It is anticipated that the requirements in this rule would be
phased in on a program-specific basis, thereby enabling State agencies
to include the collection
[[Page 10916]]
of new data concurrent with each program's time of application, so that
a separate collection specifically to meet this requirement would not
be needed. However, further guidance will be provided to State agencies
prior to the time of implementation of the final rule. This guidance
will address appropriate vehicles and language for the collection of
data to ensure that the results are comparable across States and
programs. Although it is unlikely this guidance will be included in the
final regulation, FNS seeks comments on several areas of guidance under
consideration at this time. These include but are not limited to:
(a) When and how during the application process it is best to
request data on the type of organizations applying and/or
participating;
(b) Whether to collect data on subgrantees (pass-through funding
recipients) in addition to the primary grantees; and
(c) Which of the specific data elements proposed above will be
included in the reporting requirement.
Executive Order 12866
This proposed rule has been determined to be significant but not
economically significant and was reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Impact Analysis
Costs
The cost implications of this proposed rule are minor. Assuming
that State agencies collect this data as part of the application
process for participation in the program, this rule will result in a
small additional time burden for each applicant. Each program varies in
the number of applications it receives and in how often during a
Federal fiscal year participants must report to their State agencies so
the overall additional time burden will differ among programs.
Need for Action
Section 3(b) of Executive Order 13279 provides the Secretary with
authority to ``collect data regarding the participation of FBOs and COs
in social service programs that receive Federal financial assistance.''
The consequence of non-collection would be an inability to determine
the number of FBO and CO participants and a failure to comply with
Executive Orders 13279 and 13280.
Benefits
This proposed rule would help the Department to implement Executive
Orders 13279 and 13280. Collecting information on FBOs and COs would
enable FNS to determine the level of participation in FNS programs by
those organizations and help ensure that its programs are open to all
eligible organizations.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This proposed rule has been reviewed with regard to the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612). Eric
M. Bost, Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services has
certified that this proposed rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The data collection
which would be implemented would enable FNS to identify the faith-based
and community organizations participating in FNS programs, determine
the level of participation of FBOs and COs in its programs, ensure that
FNS' nutrition assistance programs are open to all eligible
organizations as mandated by Executive Orders 13279 and 13280, and
evaluate the effectiveness of the Department's outreach efforts. While
the effect of this rule would require organizations seeking to

requested information at the time of application and at other times,
these reporting changes will not have a significant economic impact on
those small entities.
Public Law 104-4
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes a requirement for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, FNS
generally prepares a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis. This is done for proposed and final rules that have ``Federal
mandates'' which may result in expenditures of $100 million or more in
any one year by State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate,
or by the private sector. When this statement is needed for a rule,
section 205 of the UMRA generally requires FNS to identify and consider
a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives. It must then adopt the
least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative that
achieves the objectives of the rule.
This proposed rule contains no Federal mandates of $100 million or
more in any one year (under regulatory provisions of Title II of the
UMRA) for State, local, and tribal governments or the private sector.
Thus, this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and
205 of the UMRA.
Executive Order 12372
National School Lunch Program; School Breakfast Program; Summer
Food Service Program; Child and Adult Care Food Program; Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children; and the
Commodity Supplemental Food Program are listed in the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance under Nos. 10.555, 10.553, 10.559, 10.558,
10.557, and 10.565, respectively. The Emergency Food Assistance Program
is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under Nos.
10.568 and 10.569. These programs are subject to the provisions of
Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation
with State and local officials (7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, and final
rule related notice at 48 FR 29115, June 24, 1983).
Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132 requires Federal agencies to consider the
impact of their regulatory actions on State and local governments.
Where such actions have federalism implications, agencies are directed
to provide a statement for inclusion in the preamble to the regulations
describing the agency's considerations in terms of the three categories
called for under section (6)(b)(2)(B) of Executive Order 13132. FNS has
considered the impact of this rule on State and local governments and
has determined that this rule does not have federalism implications.
This rule does not impose substantial compliance costs on State and
local governments. Therefore, under Section 6(b) of the Executive
Order, a federalism summary impact statement is not required.
Executive Order 12988
This proposed rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988,
Civil Justice Reform. This rule is not intended to have preemptive
effect with respect to any State or local laws, regulations or policies
which conflict with its provisions or which would otherwise impede its
full implementation. This rule is not intended to have retroactive
effect unless so specified in the Effective Date paragraph of the final
rule. Prior to any judicial challenge to the provisions of this rule or
the application of its provisions, all applicable administrative
procedures must be exhausted.
Civil Rights Impact Analysis
FNS has reviewed this rule in accordance with the Department
Regulation 4300-4, ``Civil Rights Impact
[[Page 10917]]
Analysis,'' to identify and address any major civil rights impacts the
rule might have on minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.
After a careful review of the rule's intent and provisions, FNS has
determined that this proposed rule would not in any way limit or reduce
participants' ability to participate in FNS' nutrition assistance
programs on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or
disability. FNS found no factors that would negatively and
disproportionately affect any group of individuals.
Government Paperwork Elimination Act
FNS is committed to compliance with the Government Paperwork
Elimination Act (GPEA), which requires Government agencies to provide
the public the option of submitting information or transacting business
electronically to the maximum extent possible.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507) requires the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve all information
collections by a Federal agency from the public before the collections
can be implemented. Respondents are not required to respond to any
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB
control number. This proposed rule contains information collections
that are subject to review and approval by OMB; therefore, 60-day
notices soliciting public comment on changes in the information
collection burden that would result from adoption of the proposal is
contained in this rule.
Comments must be received by May 2, 2006.
Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for FNS, Washington, DC 20503. Please also
send a copy of your comments to, Keith Churchill, Section Chief, Child
and Adult Care and Summer Food Service Programs, Policy and Program
Development Branch, Child Nutrition Division, Food and Nutrition
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 3101 Park Center Drive, Room
634, Alexandria, VA 22302-1594. For further information, or for copies
of the information collection, please contact Keith Churchill at the
above address.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval.
All comments will also become a matter of public record.

Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collections.
Abstract: This proposed rule is part of the Department's effort to
fulfill its responsibilities under Executive Orders 13279 and 13280. In
order to implement these Executive Orders, it is essential to collect
information that allows FNS to identify the faith-based and community
organizations participating in FNS programs, determine the level of
participation of FBOs and COs in its programs, ensure that FNS'
programs are open to all eligible organizations and evaluate the
effectiveness of its technical assistance and outreach efforts. The
consequence of non-collection would be an inability to determine the
success of efforts to comply with the Executive Orders.
Respondents: State agencies collect data from organizations and
institutions that submit an application for the purpose of contracting,
or entering into an agreement, to participate in the National School
Lunch Program; School Breakfast Program; Summer Food Service Program;
Child and Adult Care Food Program; Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants and Children; Commodity Supplemental Food
Program; or with the State agency or another recipient agency to
participate in The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). State
agencies document, compile, and report the data to FNS.

Commenters should note that the average burden per response for the
requirement that ``each SA collects data related to currently
participating local agencies and applicant local agencies for Federal
fiscal years 2006 through 2009, and reports on those data elements that
will be selected from the list of proposed data elements included above
in the `Requirements' section'' is .25 hour. This average burden per
response was based on the collection of the four data elements (a)-(d)
found in the ``Requirements'' section of this preamble. Should a
different combination of data elements be selected, the average burden
hours per response may change. For example,
[[Page 10922]]
should the four data elements (e)-(h) be selected, the average burden
hour per response for this response could be expected to increase to 2
hours.
