Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: National Animal Health
Monitoring System; Antimicrobial Use
Studies.
OMB Control Number: 0579–NEW.
Summary of Collection: Collection
and dissemination of animal health data
and information is mandated by 7
U.S.C. 391, the Animal Industry Act of
1884, which established the precursor of
the APHIS, Veterinary Services, the
Bureau of Animal Industry. Legal
requirements for examining and
reporting on animal disease control
methods were further mandated by 7
U.S.C. 8308 of the Animal Health
Protection Act, ‘‘Detection, Control, and
Eradication of Diseases and Pests,’’ May
13, 2002. APHIS will initiate the
Antimicrobial Use Study which will
consist of two surveys; a swine and
feedlot survey. The information
collected through the Antimicrobial Use
Study will be analyzed and organized
into one or more descriptive reports.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will use the data collected from
the Antimicrobial Use Study to: (1)
Describe antimicrobial usage to control
and treat disease and promote growth
on a regional and national basis both
before and after implementation of the
Food and Drug Administration’s
Veterinary Feed Directive; (2) Provide
this information to industry as well as
legislators to help form policy based on
objective estimates; and (3) Use findings
from the study as a basis for more indepth evaluation of usage and resistance
in a subsequent longitudinal study on
farms. Without this information on
antimicrobial use, the United States
would have no ability to understand
and develop information on trends in
antimicrobial use nor would it be able
to provide objective information to
evaluate the results of the Food and
Drug Administration’s Veterinary Feed
Directive.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.

reimbursement rates for meals served in
the Summer Food Service Program for

required under the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act. The 2017
reimbursement rates are presented as a
combined set of rates to highlight
simplified cost accounting procedures.
The 2017 rates are also presented
individually, as separate operating and
administrative rates of reimbursement,
to show the effect of the Consumer Price
Index adjustment on each rate.
DATES: Effective date: January 1, 2017.

and Operational Support Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)
is listed in the Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance under No. 10.559
and is subject to the provisions of

published at 48 FR 29114, June 24,

E:\FR\FM\06MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 42 / Monday, March 6, 2017 / Notices
This notice is not a rule as defined by
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
601–612, and thus is exempt from the
provisions of that Act. Additionally, this
notice has been determined to be
exempt from formal review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866.
Definitions
The terms used in this notice have the
meaning ascribed to them under 7 CFR
part 225 of the SFSP regulations.
Background
This notice informs the public of the
annual adjustments to the
reimbursement rates for meals served in
SFSP. In accordance with sections 12(f)
and 13, 42 U.S.C. 1760(f) and 1761, of
the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (NSLA) and SFSP regulations
under 7 CFR part 225, the United States
Department of Agriculture announces
the adjustments in SFSP payments for
meals served to participating children
during calendar year 2017.
The 2017 reimbursement rates are
presented as a combined set of rates to
highlight simplified cost accounting
procedures. Reimbursement is based
solely on a ‘‘meals times rate’’
calculation, without comparison to
actual or budgeted costs.
Sponsors receive reimbursement that
is determined by the number of
reimbursable meals served, multiplied
by the combined rates for food service
operations and administration.
However, the combined rate is based on
separate operating and administrative
rates of reimbursement, each of which is
adjusted differently for inflation.
However, the calculations of
adjustments for both cost categories are
based on the same set of changes in the
Food Away From Home series of the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers, published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor. They represent a
2.3 percent increase in this series for the
12-month period, from November 2015
through November 2016 (from 258.805
in November 2015 to 264.699 in
November 2016).
Calculation of Rates
Table of 2017 Reimbursement Rates
The combined rates are constructed
from individually authorized operating
and administrative reimbursements.
Simplified procedures provide
flexibility, enabling sponsors to manage
their reimbursements to pay for any
allowable cost, regardless of the cost
category. Sponsors remain responsible,
however, for ensuring proper
administration of the Program, while
providing the best possible nutrition
benefit to children.
The operating and administrative
rates are calculated separately.
Presentation of the 2017 maximum
per meal rates for meals served to
children in SFSP combines the results
from the calculations of operational and
administrative payments, which are
further explained in this notice. The
total amount of payments to State
agencies for disbursement to SFSP
sponsors will be based upon these
adjusted combined rates and the
number of meals of each type served.
These adjusted rates will be in effect
from January 1, 2017 through December
31, 2017.
