Food and Nutrition Service Title: 7 CFR Part 235 State Administrative Expense Funds. OMB Control Number: 0584–0067. Summary of Collection: Because the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is accountable for State Administrative Expense (SAE) funds by fiscal year, State Agencies (SAs) are requested to report their SAE budget information on that basis.

FNS will collect information using forms FNS–74 and 525. Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information on the total SAE cost the SA expects to incur in the course of administering the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP); the indirect cost rate used by the SA in charging indirect cost to SAE, together with the name of the Federal agency that assigned the rate and the date the rate was assigned; breakdown of the current year’s SAE budget between the amount allocated for the current year and the amount carried over from the prior year; and the number and types of personnel currently employed in administering the CNPs. The information is used to determine whether SA intends to use SAE funds for purposes allowable under OMB Circular A–87, Cost Principles for State and Local Governments; does SA’s administrative budget provide for sufficient funding from State sources to meet the Maintenance of Effort requirement; and is SA’s staff adequate to effectively administer the programs covered by the SA’s agreement with FNS.

applicable Federal fiscal year for this purpose. In 7 CFR Part 235, 
State Administrative Expense Funds, there are five reporting 
requirements, which necessitate the collection of information. They are 
as follows: SAE Plan, Reallocation Report, Coordinated Review Effort
