Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Summer Food Service Program
(SFSP) Characteristics Study.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: School-age
children are more susceptible to food
insecurity during the summer when
they do not have access to meals
provided at school. The Summer Food
Service Program (SFSP) was designed to
ensure that children who benefits from
the National School Lunch Program
(NSLP) and the School Breakfast
Program (SBP) do not experience a
nutrition gap during the summer. The
SFSP supports children’s nutrition
through reimbursements to participating
institutions for meals meeting USDA
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2015.
The legal authority to collect this
information is under the Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–296, Sec. 305).
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
will collect information using webbased surveys and some will be
completed over the phone. The
collected information will be used to
identify barriers and facilitators to
program participation by sponsors, sites,
and eligible children. It will be used to
determine future changes in SFSP
policy to improve program
participation, operations, and outcomes
needed to address circumstances that
may have changed since the last
evaluation of the program in 2010.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households; State, Local
or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 1,104.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,636.

Summary of Collection: Section 6(d)
of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008
and 7 CFR 273.7 require each SNAP
household member who is not exempt
shall be registered for employment by
the State agency at the time of
application and once every twelve
months thereafter, as a condition of
eligibility. This requirement pertains to
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
non-exempt SNAP household member
age 16 to 60. Each State agency must
screen each work registrant to determine
whether to refer the individual to its
E&T Program. States’ E&T Programs are
federally funded through an annual E&T
grant. Both the Food and Nutrition Act
and regulations require States to file
quarterly reports about their E&T
Programs so that the Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) can monitor their
performance.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
will collect quarterly reports about their
E&T programs so that the Department
can monitor State performance to ensure
that the program is being efficiently and
economically operated. Without the
information FNS would be unable to
make adjustments or allocate
exemptions in accordance with the
statute.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: U.S. Origin Health Certificate
Template.
OMB Control Number: 0579–XXXX.
Type of Request: Approval of a new
information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture has the authority to
detect, control, or eradicate pests or
diseases of livestock and poultry. APHIS
may also prohibit or restrict the
importation or export of any animal to
prevent the spread of livestock or
poultry pests or diseases.
The export of agricultural
commodities, including animals and
animal products, is a major business in
the United States and contributes to a
favorable balance of trade. Within
APHIS, Veterinary Services (VS)
maintains information regarding the
import health requirements of other
countries for animals and animal
products exported from the United
States, as most countries require a
certification that our animals are free
from specific diseases and show no
clinical evidence of disease. Knowledge

of these import health requirements
allows exporters to determine whether
their animals meet the health
requirements of the destination
countries and promotes disease
prevention, which is the most effective
method for maintaining a healthy
animal population and enhancing our
country’s ability to compete in the
world market of animal and animal
product trade.
Exporters currently use several forms
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to certify that their
animals meet the certification
requirements of other countries.
However, to expedite the process, VS
has developed an adaptable electronic
export health certificate template for use
by exporters and trading partners for the
export certification of animals. This new
template has the potential to replace
other paper-based forms associated with
the export certification of animals.
We are asking OMB to approve our
use of this information collection
activity for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.5
hours per response.
Respondents: Live animal owners and
exporters, accredited veterinarians, and
animal health officials of the countries
of destination.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,849.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 24.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 44,376.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 22,188 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
PO 00000

number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
