SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Application for Food and Nutrition E:\FR\FM\02JAN1.SGM 02JAN1 93 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 1 / Thursday, January 2, 2014 / Notices Service (FNS) collection of information for The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) Implementation Study. OMB Number: Not yet assigned. Expiration Date: N/A. Type of Request: Approval for new data collection from SFSP State agencies, sponsoring organizations, site directors, parents or caregivers of children who participated in the program, and parents or caregivers of children who were eligible for the program but did not participate. Abstract: School-age children are more susceptible to food insecurity during the summer when they do not have access to meals provided at school. The SFSP was designed to ensure that children who benefit from the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) do not experience a nutrition gap during the summer. Despite ongoing efforts to increase participation, the SFSP only reaches a small fraction of all eligible children, and there is a large gap in participation levels between the NSLP and the SFSP. Therefore, the USDA needs to obtain detailed information on SFSP operation and administration at the State, sponsor, and site levels, as well as characteristics of providers, participants, and non-participants, in order to identify the factors that contribute to program participation by sponsors, sites, and children. The study will also allow the USDA to determine future changes in SFSP policy that improve program participation and operations. Since the last national study of the program, conducted in 2003, there have been significant policy changes that could impact program operation and participation. Furthermore, limited administrative data are collected at the national level on the SFSP’s operations at the State agency, sponsor, and site levels. Affected Public: To evaluate how SFSP program operations and other factors contribute to participation at the State, sponsor, and site levels, as well as to study characteristics of providers, participants, and eligible nonparticipants, a variety of information must be obtained. Data for this study will be collected from four types of participants: 1. State agencies from all 54 States and territories, including Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The data collection will involve a selfadministered web survey and telephone follow-up of non-respondents with State administrators of the agencies that operate the SFSP (in some States, with the FNS regional office staff who administer the program). In addition, State agencies will be asked to provide administrative data on their sponsors, and those sponsors will provide information on their sites. 2. Program staff from a nationally representative sample of 350 current SFSP sponsors, such as School Food Authorities (SFA), government agencies, residential camps, or other nonprofit organizations. The data collection will involve a self-administered web survey with telephone follow-up of nonrespondents. In addition, sponsors will be asked to provide administrative data on their sites. 3. Site directors from a nationally representative sample of 380 sites. The data collection will involve a selfadministered web survey with telephone follow-up of nonrespondents. In addition, up to six sites will be asked to provide contact information for their participants and eligible non-participants. 4. A convenience sample of 25 parents or caregivers of SFSP participating children and 25 eligible non-participating children. The data collection will involve interviews over the telephone. The data will be collected on a onetime basis in 2015, beginning with collecting States’ administrative records from 2/1/15 through 6/1/15. The data collection with States, sponsors, sites, participants, and nonparticipants will be conducted from 5/1/15 through 11/ 12/15. Estimate of Burden: Respondent burden will be minimized by using the web survey that streamlines the data collection process. Burden will also be minimized by relying on administrative records for variables that are consistently available across States, sponsors, and sites. In addition, States and sponsors will be encouraged to provide lists or other administrative records in whatever form is most convenient to them. To obtain administrative records, the estimated burden will be: • State Administrators: 5 hours to compile the lists of sponsors and sites • Sponsors: 2 hours to compile the lists of sites • Two schools or SFA sites: 2 hours to compile the lists of participants and eligible non-participants (participating in school lunch or breakfast programs). To complete the surveys and interviews, the estimated burden will be: • State Administrators: 1.5 hours to complete the survey. • Sponsor Staff: 1.5 hours to complete the survey. • Site Directors: 1 hour to complete the survey. • Parents/Caregivers of Participants: 45 minutes to complete the telephone interview. • Parents/Caregivers of Eligible NonParticipants: 30 minutes to complete the telephone interview.

Service (FNS) collection of information for The Summer Food Service 
Program (SFSP) Implementation Study.
    OMB Number: Not yet assigned.
    Expiration Date: N/A.
    Type of Request: Approval for new data collection from SFSP State 
agencies, sponsoring organizations, site directors, parents or 
caregivers of children who participated in the program, and parents or

    Abstract: School-age children are more susceptible to food 
insecurity during the summer when they do not have access to meals 
provided at school. The SFSP was designed to ensure that children who 
benefit from the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School 
Breakfast Program (SBP) do not experience a nutrition gap during the 
summer. Despite ongoing efforts to increase participation, the SFSP 
only reaches a small fraction of all eligible children, and there is a 
large gap in participation levels between the NSLP and the SFSP. 
Therefore, the USDA needs to obtain detailed information on SFSP 
operation and administration at the State, sponsor, and site levels, as 
well as characteristics of providers, participants, and non-
participants, in order to identify the factors that contribute to 
program participation by sponsors, sites, and children. The study will 
also allow the USDA to determine future changes in SFSP policy that 
improve program participation and operations. Since the last national 
study of the program, conducted in 2003, there have been significant 
policy changes that could impact program operation and participation. 
Furthermore, limited administrative data are collected at the national 
level on the SFSP's operations at the State agency, sponsor, and site 
levels.
