    Title: Contact Information of Schools That Participate in the 
National School Lunch Program and Organizations That Participate in the 
USDA's Child and Adult Care Food Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The purpose of this collection is to support 
the mission of the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) 
Team Nutrition Initiative, which supports national efforts to promote 
lifelong healthy food choices and physical activity by improving the 
nutrition practices of the Child Nutrition Programs. The Team Nutrition 
Initiative is covered under Section 19 of the Child Nutrition Act of 
1966 (42 U.S.C. 1788). By collecting contact information from schools 
and organizations that participate in the National School Lunch Program 
(NSLP) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), the Food and 
Nutrition Service (FNS) can establish and maintain a database that will 
enable schools and organizations to network, coordinate, and 
collaborate with each other to identify and share innovative programs 
that will help children maintain healthy eating and lifestyle habits. 
Through this database, FNS also seeks to provide assistance to States 
in the development of comprehensive and integrated nutrition education 
and active living programs in schools and facilities that participate 
in NSLP and CACFP, to assist States in establishing systems to promote 
the nutritional health and encourage regular physical activity of 
school children in the United States, and to provide training and 
technical assistance to the States.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Food and Nutrition Service 
(FNS) will collect contact and other information on a voluntary basis 
from schools and organizations that participate in NSLP and CACFP in 
order to enter these schools and organizations into the team nutrition 
database. The schools and organizations can use the team nutrition 
database to develop peer collaboration and to keep up-to-date on the 
available resources developed under the Team Nutrition Initiative. FNS 
will also use the contact information to send electronic notifications 
to schools and organizations concerning the availability of new and 
updated Team Nutrition materials and to provide technical assistance. 
The collected information will be publicly available and upon request, 
Team Nutrition will share information with stakeholders.
