Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Child and Adult Care Food
Program (CACFP) Improper Payment
Meal Claims Assessment.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Improper
Payments Information Act (IPIA) of
2002 (Pub. L. 107–300) requires the
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), to
provide estimates of erroneous
payments in the Child and Adult Care
Food Program (CACFP), and to identify
and report corrective actions the agency
is taking to reduce them. These
measures are necessary to enhance the
accuracy and integrity of Federal
payments in the CACFP. The CACFP
reimburses family day care home for
serving nutritious meals and snacks to
children, especially low-income
children who receive day care services
in these facilities. The Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS), on behalf of the
Secretary of Agriculture, is conducting a
feasibility evaluation of the parent-recall
data collection methodology for
validating the number and type of meals
claimed for reimbursement by family
day care homes (FDCHs) in the CACFP.
Need and use of the Information: Data
collection is to be conducted in sixteen
states to evaluate whether a parentrecall data collection methodology
under evaluation can: (1) Validate the
meal reimbursement claims submitted
by FDCHs for the number of children
who are CACFP eligible and present in
the FDCHs during the time period(s) for
which the meals/snacks were claimed.
(2) Generate data required for
developing an estimate of improper
payments, based on the meals claimed
for reimbursement by FDCHs that meet
the requirements of the Improper
Payments Information Act of 2002. (3)
Be implemented nationwide in an
efficient and cost effective method.
Observations conducted on-site in the
homes of FDSCH providers will be used
in the feasibility evaluation. Without the
information no assessment of the cost,
amount and type of meal claiming errors
can be estimated nor can corrective
action be developed and implemented.

Title: National Assistance in Farmers
Markets: Understanding Current
Operations.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The growing
obesity crisis in the United States has
created urgency among scientists and
public health officials to develop and
test sustainable programs that improve
American diets. Fruits and vegetable
intake has been shown to reduce the
long term risk of obesity and other
chronic diseases such as heart disease
and cancer and serves as a market for a
healthy diet. However, two thirds of
U.S. adults do not meet the USDA
Dietary Guidelines for fruit and
vegetable intake. The Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) is conducting a
new study titled ‘‘Nutrition Assistance
in Farmers Markets: Understanding
Current Operations.’’ The study,
planned for FY 2011–2012 affirms the
Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services
(FNCS) priority for expanding the farmfood connection in FNS programs. The
collection is authorized under
paragraph 17(a)(1) of the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2026).
Need and use of the Information: The
proposed study involves a national
survey of Farmers Market managers and
Direct Marketing (DM) farmers to
understand their current operations and
how those affect participation in USDA
nutrition assistance programs. The
information gathered in the data
collection activities will be used by FNS
to understand the characteristics of
farmers markets and direct marketing
farmers and facilitators and barriers to
participating in the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program. These
data will inform FNS policy decision
intended to increase the number of DM
farmers and farmers markets that
participate as SNAP retailers, as well as
improve operations for currently
authorized DM farmers and farmers
markets. If data is not collected, FNS
will be unable to improve its
understanding of the farmers’ market
environment, particularly barriers to
participation in nutrition assistance
programs by these markets.
