Title: National School Lunch Program
Direct Certification Improvement Study,
which is an update to a previously
approved data collection for ‘‘Feasibility
of Computer Matching in the National
School Lunch Program.’’
OMB Number: 0584–0529.
Form Number: N/A.
Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
Type of Request: Reinstatement with
change of previously approved data
collection.
Abstract: Direct certification was
required of States and LEAs in the Child
Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act
of 2004. Direct certification enables

children in households that receive
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) or other public
assistance program benefits to be
certified to receive school lunches
without application. Use of direct
certification has increased since the
2004 reauthorization but is still not
universal, despite the mandate. In
school year (SY) 2009–2010, 83 percent
of National School Lunch Program
(NSLP) districts directly certified
children in SNAP households; these
districts included 97 percent of all
students in NSLP schools. Most States
also now employ computer datamatching techniques—in which
electronic files containing names and
other identifying information of
children from SNAP (or other programs)
are matched against a student
enrollment file containing the names
and other identifying information, in
order to directly certify categorically
eligible students.
The core aims of the study are to
describe current direct certification
processes and procedures employed by
States and LEAs; explore the
relationship between these methods and
overall direct certification performance
measures; and identify steps for
continuous improvement in datamatching techniques and tools to
increase matching rates.
This project has 11 study objectives:
(1) Update national information on
current practice used by States and
LEAs to conduct direct certification;
(2) describe State information systems
(IS) and databases that are used to
conduct direct certification and what
analyses are conducted to determine the
efficiency of the data matching, and
correlate State system and database
characteristics with State performance
measures, including those based on the
agency’s direct certification reporting;
(3) develop a comprehensive, up-to-date
reference library of data-matching
algorithms and computer code used for
NSLP direct certification at the State
and local levels, including a library of
the data elements, formats, and
definitions for all variables used in the
matching; (4) examine relationships
between direct certification
implementation procedures,
information systems and databases, and
State performance measures of direct
certification; (5) determine what barriers
exist in the use of data matching in
direct certification in NSLP in different
States and LEAs; (6) determine what
States have been doing with direct

certification grants awarded by Food
and Nutrition Services (FNS), in terms
of improvements made and their effects;
(7) identify ‘‘best practices’’ that could be
used to provide technical assistance to
those States developing continuous
improvement plans to reach higher rates
of data matching; (8) examine the
current plans for improvement of the
direct certification process in the future
and the capability to adopt any potential
changes that may be required in the
subsequent legislation; (9) explore the
records of unmatched SNAP households
with school-age children and of
categorically eligible SNAP children (as
determined by NSLP application) to
determine how direct certification could
be further improved; (10) to estimate the
‘‘national’’ direct certification matching
rates under various scenarios (Optional
Task); (11) to develop model continuous
improvement plans for States using
State-level matching and for States
using local-level matching (Optional
Task).
To address the study objectives, three
key data collection tasks will be
performed: (1) A national survey of
direct certification practices of all 50
States, the District of Columbia, five
territories, and of LEAs in those States
where direct certification data matching
is conducted at the district-level; (2) indepth case studies in seven States and
selected LEAs, which will include site
visits to interview program and
technical staff involved in direct
certification at the State and LEA levels;
and (3) an exploration of unmatched
SNAP participant records and NSLP
applications from a sample of districts
within the seven case study States,
which will form the basis for an analysis
of the accuracy of the matches and
provide insight into how data matching
could be improved.
Taken together, the information
collected will help FNS, State CN
directors, and LEAs recognize promising
trends, understand new approaches, and
provide technical assistance for
continuous improvement of their direct
certification efforts.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government. Respondent groups
identified include: (1) CN staff at the
State level; (2) education staff at the
State level; (3) State SNAP, Medicaid,
and/or Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) program staff; and
(4) staff from LEAs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The study will collect data from a total
of 7,949 respondents across all States.

There are three categories of data
collection: Web-based, national survey
(States and LEAs); in-depth interviews
during site-visits; and collection of
unmatched SNAP participant records
and NSLP applications. The Web-based,
national survey will be conducted with
57 State (and territory) CN program
directors and approximately 7,700 LEAs
(2,500 LEAs will receive a long version
of the survey; 5,200 LEAs will receive
a short version). In-depth interviews
during site visits will be conducted with
7 State CN agency officials; 7 State
education staff; 7 State SNAP officials;
7 State Medicaid agency officials; 7
State TANF officials; 14 (2 per State)
State IS staff; 18 LEA staff and 18 LEA
IS staff. Records of unmatched SNAP
participant records will be collected by
7 State staff and NSLP applications will
be collected by 100 LEA staff.
Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Time per Response: For the
Web-based, national survey, the burden
estimate is 1.25 hours (75 minutes) for
State CN staff and is inclusive of the
respondents’ time to prepare for and
complete the survey; the burden
estimate is 1.0 hour (60 minutes) for
LEA staff completing a long version of
the survey; and, 0.33 hours (20 minutes)
for LEA staff completing the short
version of the survey. For all persons
who decline to participate in the survey,
the burden estimate is 0.10 hours (6
minutes) and includes the respondents’
time to read a letter and/or respond to
a telephone call. For all respondents
interviewed during the site visits, the
burden estimate is 1.33 hours (80
minutes) and includes respondents’
time to read an introductory letter,
receive a reminder letter, and prepare
for and participate in the visit. The
burden for gathering unmatched SNAP
records is 4.0 hours; the burden for LEA
staff to gather NSLP applications is 4.0
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents and Nonresponders: Total
of 4,132.42 hours, including: State CN
staff, 73.68 hours (includes Web-based
survey and in-depth interviews); LEA
staff, 3,950.80 hours (includes Webbased survey, in-depth interviews, and
collection of NSLP applications); State
education staff, 9.33 hours; State SNAP

children in households that receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance

Taken together, the information collected will help FNS, State CN
directors, and LEAs recognize promising trends, understand new
approaches, and provide technical assistance for continuous improvement
of their direct certification efforts.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government. Respondent
groups identified include: (1) CN staff at the State level; (2)
education staff at the State level; (3) State SNAP, Medicaid, and/or
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program staff; and (4)
staff from LEAs.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The study will collect data from a
total of 7,949 respondents across all States. There are three
categories of data collection: Web-based, national survey (States and
LEAs); in-depth interviews during site-visits; and collection of
unmatched SNAP participant records and NSLP applications. The Web-

14 (2 per State) State IS staff; 18 LEA staff and 18 LEA IS staff.
Records of unmatched SNAP participant records will be collected by 7
State staff and NSLP applications will be collected by 100 LEA staff.
Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Time per Response: For the Web-based, national survey,
the burden estimate is 1.25 hours (75 minutes) for State CN staff and
is inclusive of the respondents' time to prepare for and complete the
