Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: SFSP is authorized under section 13 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1761). The SFSP is directed toward children in low-income areas when school is not in session and is operated locally by approved sponsors.

Program operators submit monthly claims using FNS–418 to its administering agency to receive reimbursement. This is a revision of a currently approved collection. It revises reporting burden as a result of program changes and corrections to the recordkeeping burden hours. Current OMB inventory for this collection includes only reporting burden and that consists of 182,683 hours. As a result of program changes and reevaluation of existing program tasks, the reporting burden was significantly reduced by 42,693 hours since last renewal. However, as a result of reinstating the recordkeeping burden, this reduction is estimated at 7,291 hours. No substantive revisions have occurred to the form (FNS–418). The average burden per response and the annual burden hours for reporting and recordkeeping are explained below and summarized in the charts which follow. Affected Public: State agencies, camps and other sites and households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 106,187. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 6.417593.
