OMB Number: 0584–0026.
Expiration Date: March 31, 2013.
Type of Request: Revision of a

Abstract: The Food and Nutrition

all schools and institutions participating

reporting burden as well as increase the
total approved recordkeeping burden by
5 hours for State agencies.
Authority Verification Summary

modified (refer to Appendix A at the

approved reporting burden hours have
increased by 5,215 hours for this form.
In addition, this information
collection is also requesting a revision
in the burden hours due to rulemaking.
The revision is based on the
implementation of an interim final rule
