Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Child and Adult Care Food Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0055.
    Summary of Collection: Section 17 of the National School Lunch Act, 
as amended (42 U.S.C. 1766), authorizes the Child and Adult Care 
Program (CACFP). Under this program, the Secretary of Agriculture is 
authorized to provide cash reimbursement and commodity assistance, on a 
per meal basis, for food service to children in nonresidential child 
care centers and family or group day care homes, and to eligible adults 
in nonresidential adult day care centers. The Food and Nutrition 
Service (FNS) has established application, monitoring, recordkeeping, 
and reporting requirements to manage the Program effectively, and 
ensure that the legislative intent of this mandate is responsibly 
implemented.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is 
necessary to enable institutions wishing to participate in the CACFP to 
submit applications to the administering agencies, execute agreements 
with those agencies, and claim the reimbursement to which they are 
entitled by law. FNS and State agencies administering the program will 
use the collected information to determine eligibility of institutions 
to participate in the CACFP, ensure acceptance of responsibility in 
managing an effective food service, implement systems for appropriating 
program funds, and ensure compliance with all statutory and regulatory 
requirements.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-
profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Government; and 
Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 3,030,006.

replacement electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards or a warning notice 
for excessive EBT card replacements for individual members of a 
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) household requesting 
four EBT cards in a 12-month period. These notices are being issued to 
educate SNAP recipients on use of the EBT card and to deter fraudulent 
activity.
    Need and Use of the Information: The data collected will be used 
for statutory and regulatory compliance. The data is gathered at 
various times, ranging from monthly, quarterly, annual or final 
submissions. Without the information, FNS would be unable to ensure 
integrity or effectively monitor any over-issued, under-issued, or 
trafficking.
