interviews, and to provide available
data records from the past 12 months.
For SNAP partners, 163 staff members
will be invited to participate in a
telephone interview, and those
participants will also be asked to

a For
this collection, the estimated number of respondents and total annual responses are the same, as all data collection will occur within the
span of one year. While respondents will be invited to submit no more than one response in each response category (responses annually per respondent is equal to one for each category), individual respondents may be involved in more than one aspect of this collection (so, some respondents may participate in both the survey and the in-person interview).
b This average includes time burden incurred by nonresponders for reviewing the invitation to participate in the collection and informational materials as well as time that responders spend submitting information under each category.

FNS–806–B, respectively, are used to
collect meal and milk data from school
food authorities whose participation in
these programs are administered
directly by the Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) Regional Offices
(Regional Office Administered
Programs, or ROAP). The FNS Regional
Office directly administers the NSLP,
SMP, and/or SBP programs in Virginia,
Georgia, and Colorado. In order to
determine the amount of reimbursement
for meals and milk served, the school
food authorities are required to
complete these forms. The completed
forms are either sent to the Child
Nutrition Payments Center at the FNS
Mid-Atlantic Regional Office where they
are entered into a computerized
payment system or submitted
electronically via the Internet directly
into the Child Nutrition Payments
Center. The payment system computes
earned reimbursement. Earned
reimbursement in the NSLP, SBP and
SMP is based on performance that is
measured as an assigned rate per meal
or half pint of milk served. To fulfill the
earned reimbursement requirements set
forth in NSLP, SBP and SMP regulations
issued by the Secretary of Agriculture (7
CFR 210.8 and 220.11; and 215.10), the
meal and milk data must be collected on
Forms FNS–806–A and FNS–806–B,
respectively. These forms are an
intrinsic part of the accounting system
currently being used by the subject
programs to ensure proper
reimbursement.
Respondents: The respondents are
State and local governments
participating in the NSLP, SBP and SMP
under the auspices of the FNS ROAP.

Notice of Determination of the Highly
Pathogenic Avian Influenza Subtype
H5N1 Status of Hungary
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: We are advising the public of
our determination regarding the highly
pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)
subtype H5N1 status of Hungary
following outbreaks in 2006 and 2007.
Based on our evaluation of the animal
´
health status of two counties (Bacs´
Kiskun and Csongrad) in Hungary,
which we made available to the public
for review and comment through a
previous notice, the Administrator has
determined that the importation of live
birds, poultry carcasses, parts or
products of poultry carcasses, and eggs
(other than hatching eggs) of poultry,
game birds, and other birds from
Hungary presents a low risk of
introducing HPAI H5N1 into the United
States.
DATES: Effective Date: This
determination will be effective on
October 9, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Javier Vargas, Case Manager,
Regionalization Evaluation Services
Staff, National Center for Import and
Export, VS, APHIS, 4700 River Road,
Unit 38, Riverdale, MD 20737–1231;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 15, 2009, we published in the
Federal Register (74 FR 28217–28218) a
notice 1A1 in which we announced the
availability for review and comment of
an evaluation of the animal health status
´
of two counties (Bacs-Kiskun and
´
Csongrad) in Hungary relative to highly
pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)
subtype H5N1. In the evaluation, titled
‘‘APHIS’ Evaluation of the Status of
High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza
H5N1 Virus in Hungary’’ (November
2008), we presented the results of our
evaluation of the prevalence of HPAI
H5N1 in domestic poultry in the two
counties in light of the actions taken by
Hungary’s Department for Food Chain
Safety and Animal Health (DFCSAH)
during and since the outbreaks of HPAI
