SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Information Collection for the
Child and Adult Care Food Program.
OMB Number: 0584–0055.
Expiration Date: August 31, 2013.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 17 of the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act
(NSLA), as amended, (42 U.S.C. 1766),
authorizes the CACFP to provide cash
reimbursement and commodity
assistance, on a per meal basis, for food
service to children in nonresidential
child care centers and family day care
homes, and to eligible adults in
nonresidential adult day care centers.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture,
through the Food and Nutrition Service,
has established application, monitoring
and reporting requirements to manage
the CACFP effectively. The purpose of
this submission to OMB is to obtain
approval to continue the discussed
information collection. States and
service institutions participating in the
CACFP will submit to FNS account and
record information reflecting their
efforts to comply with statutory and
regulatory Program requirements. In
accordance with 7 CFR 226.7(d), State
agencies must submit a monthly Report
of the Child and Adult Care Food
Program (FNS–44) in order to receive
federal reimbursement for meals served
to eligible participants. However FNS–
44 is no longer included in this revision
as the information is being collected
under separate collection (0584–0078).
Examples of data collected and reported
with this collection include, but are not
limited to: applications and supporting
documents; records of enrollment;
records supporting the free and reduced
price eligibility determinations; daily
records indicating numbers of program
participants in attendance and the
number of meals served by type and
category; and receipts, invoices and
other records of CACFP costs and

documentation of non-profit operation
of food service.
This is a revision of a currently
approved collection. This revision made
many program adjustments to reporting
and record keeping burden hours. These
adjustments included: Recalculation of
time required to complete existing
program tasks in light of advanced
technology and process simplification
(e.g., application and renewal processes
now computerized and completed on
line; claims processing now electronic;
memos and regulatory updates posted
on State agency Web sites; etc.); transfer
of certain burden tasks to different
collection (e.g., burden associated with
Federal/State agreement now collected
under State Administrative Expense
Funds); reclassification as
administrative of tasks previously
deemed reporting; and corrections to
certain burden tasks (previous burden
included administrative burden by
error) since last renewal. These changes
translated to reduction of number of
respondents and reduction in the
amount of time it takes to complete a
particular task (estimated number of
hours per response) and resulted in
overall burden change since last
renewal. Current OMB inventory for this
collection consists of 7,032,960 hours.
As a result of program adjustments and
reevaluation of existing program tasks,
program burden was significantly
reduced by 4,799,115 hours since last
renewal. 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: 56 State agencies,
20,398 Institutions, 166,585 facilities
(includes 127,977, family day care
homes and 38,608 sponsored center
facilities) and 2,178,065 individuals and
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,552,143.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 2.138.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
5,456,645.
Estimate Time per Response:
0.409355 hrs.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
2,233,706 hrs.
Current OMB Inventory for Part 226:
7,032,960 hrs.
Difference (change in burden with this
renewal): (4,799,115) hrs.

total annual burden.
