SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 7 CFR part 210 National School
Lunch Program, Part 220 School
Breakfast Program, and Part 215 Special
Milk Program.
Form Number: (formerly FNS–806A
and FNS–806B).
OMB Number: 0584–0284.
Expiration Date: 04/30/2016.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The National School Lunch
Program (NSLP), School Breakfast
Program (SBP), and Special Milk
Program (SMP) are administered by
State agencies; however, in the States of
Virginia and Colorado, there are some
schools and institutions where these
Programs are instead administered
directly by the associated USDA FNS
Regional Office (as part of a Regional
Office Administered Program, or
ROAP). The State of Virginia, however,
will no longer be using a FNS ROAP as
of July 1, 2016. As part of a ROAP, these
SFAs and institutions complete a
Federal Claim for Reimbursement to
receive reimbursement for meals and
milk served to children. The forms
previously used were forms FNS–806A
and FNS–806B, respectively. These
SFAs and institutions also complete a
Federal application to participate in
these Programs. The forms previously
used were forms FNS–66, FNS–66A,
FNS–66B and were previously part of

other information collections (OMB
control #0584–0006—7 CFR part 210
National School Lunch Program,
expiration date February 29, 2016 and
OMB control #0584–0005—7 CFR part
210 Special Milk Program for Children,
expiration date November 30, 2018).
The information previously collected on
these five forms is now entered directly
into one computerized web application
and payment system (submitted
electronically via the Internet) referred
to as the Child Nutrition Payments
Center (currently administered by the
FNS Mid-Atlantic Regional Office).
The Child Nutrition (CN) Payment
Center is the secure online portal
operated by FNS for use by a limited
number of institutions and school food
authorities (SFAs) within Virginia,
Colorado, and U.S. Department of
Defense school installations. Through
this portal, these SFAs and institutions
can submit Program applications and
claims for meal reimbursement.
With the renewal of this information
collection, the five forms are officially
being removed and replaced by the
electronic system that currently exists.
The reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for the application
information are being incorporated into
this information collection since it is
part of the same ROAP system. This
system fulfills the requirements set forth
in NSLP, SBP and SMP regulations
issued by the Secretary of Agriculture (7
CFR 210.8 and 220.11; and 215.10) to
collect the meal and milk data for the
schools and institutions that are directly
administered by the ROAP. This
information collection is required to
administer and operate these programs
in accordance with the NSLA. All of the
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements are currently approved by
the Office of Management and Budget
and are in force. This is a revision of the
currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: SFAs and institutions
participating in the NSLP, SBP, and
SMP administered by a FNS ROAP (as
of July 1, 2016 when Virginia will no
longer be using a FNS ROAP).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of the project is to:
1. Reduce the threat of wildfire to
communities in the wildland urban
interface while moving toward a diverse
fire-resilient ecosystem.
2. Reduce overstocked, droughtstressed and dying trees to promote
forest health.
3. Enhance early seral foraging and
winter range habitat for deer and wild
turkeys; and improve long-term habitat
for northern spotted owl.
4. Maintain or improve habitat for
Calochortus persistens, a Forest Service
sensitive plant.
5. Limit the discharge of sediment to
streams from sediment legacy sites to
improve water quality.
Proposed Action
The proposed action was designed to
meet the purpose and need for the
project. A total of 10,700 acres is being
proposed for treatment within the
29,500-acre project area. Strategic
actions within project boundary will
treat about 250 acres of the 1,190-acre
defense zone and 3,870 acres within the
12,350-acre threat zone around the
community of Yreka, California.
Proposed treatments also include about
1,450 acres of fuel breaks along strategic
road systems and ridges; 4,160 acres of
prescribed burning; 860 acres of
mastication to enhance wildlife habitat
while reducing hazardous fuels; 1,350

period, an open house will be held in
conjunction with the Yreka Area Fire
Safe Council at the Forest Headquarters,
