Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Erroneous Payments in Child
Care Centers Study (EPICCS).
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Child
and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP),
administered by the Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS), is authorized at Section
17 of the National School Lunch Act (42
U.S.C. 1766). The CACFP supports day
care centers through reimbursements of
costs for serving nutritious meals and
snacks to eligible children and adults.
The Improper Payments Information Act
(IPIA) of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–300) set
annual requirements for Federal
programs, such as CACFP, to report
estimates of improper payments in an
effort to improve program integrity.
Further guidance was provided in a
2009 Executive Order and by the
Improper Payments Elimination and
Recovery Act (IPERA) of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–204) and the Improper Payments
Elimination and Recovery Improvement
Act (IPERIA) of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–248),
which amended and expanded IPIA
requirements. In order to comply with
reporting requirements concerning
improper payments, FNS is conducting
the Erroneous Payments in Child Care
Centers Study (EPICCS). This study will
focus on CACFP operations in
participating child care centers and
their sponsoring organizations. This
study is necessary for FNS’s annual
compliance with IPERA in the child
care center component of CACFP.
Need and Use of the Information: The
data collected from EPICCS will be used
to produce national estimates of
improper or erroneous payments in the
child care center component of the
CACFP resulting from certification,
aggregation, and meal claiming errors; to
develop models for calculating annual,
national estimates for all three types of
errors; and to describe methodologies
for generating State-level erroneous
payment estimates in a White Paper.
FNS will also use the data to fulfill
reporting requirements under IPERA to
annually measure and report erroneous
payments in the CACFP, to identify the
sources of erroneous payments, and to
inform its policy-making and regulatory
