DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Title: Federal Seed Act Program..
OMB Control Number: 0581–0026.
Summary of Collection: The Federal
Seed Act (FSA) (7 U.S.C. 1551–1611)
regulates agricultural and vegetable
seeds in interstate commerce.
Agricultural and vegetable seeds
shipped in interstate commerce are
required to be labeled with certain
quality information such as the name of
the seed, the purity, the germination,
and the noxious-weed seeds of the state
into which the seed is being shipped.
State seed regulatory agencies refer to
the Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS) complaints involving seed found
to be mislabeled and to have moved in
interstate commerce. AMS investigates
the alleged violations and if the
violation is substantiated, takes
regulatory action ranging from letters of
warning to monetary penalties. AMS
will collect information from records of
each lot of seed and make them
available for inspection by agents of the
Secretary.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected consists of records
pertaining to interstate shipments of
seed which have been alleged to be in
violation of the FSA. The shipper’s
records pertaining to a complaint are
examined by FSA program specialists
and are used to determine if a violation
of the FSA occurred. The records are
also used to determine if the
precautions taken by the shipper assure
that the seed was accurately labeled and
determine the corrective steps that can
be taken by the shipper to prevent
future violations. The FSA program
would be ineffective without the ability
to examine pertinent records as
necessary to resolve complaints of
violations.

Title: 7 CFR part 210, National School
Lunch Program.
Forms: FNS–10, FNS–13, FNS–640,
FNS–777, and FNS–828.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0006.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2019.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act (NSLA), as
amended, authorizes the National
School Lunch Program (NSLP) to
safeguard the health and well-being of
the nation’s children and provide free or
reduced price school lunches to
qualified students through subsidies to
schools. The United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA)/Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) provides States
with general and special cash assistance
and donations of foods to assist schools
in serving nutritious lunches to children
each school day. Participating schools
must serve lunches that are nutritionally
adequate and maintain menu and food
production records to demonstrate
compliance with the meal requirements.
Section 10 of the Child Nutrition Act
of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1779) requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to prescribe
such regulations as deemed necessary to
carry out this Act and the NSLA (42
U.S.C. 1751 et seq.). Pursuant to that
provision, the Secretary has issued 7
CFR part 210, which sets forth policies
and procedures for the administration
and operation of the NSLP. The Program
is administered at the State and school
food authority (SFA) levels and
operations include the submission of
applications and agreements,
submission of the number of meals
served and payment of claims,
submission of data from required
monitoring reviews conducted by the
State agency, and maintenance of
records. State and local operators of the
NSLP are required to meet Federal
reporting and accountability
requirements and are also required to
maintain records that include school
food service accounts of revenues and
expenditures.
The reporting, recordkeeping, and
public notification burden associated
with this revision decreased from
10,030,000 to 9,808,439 hours. This
change is due to the removal of public
notification burden that occurred only
once and decreases in the number of
schools and SFAs participating in the
Program. Other changes include the
addition of 304,640 hours of
recordkeeping burden originating from
E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM

35590
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 24, 2019 / Notices
the ‘‘Administrative Reviews in the
School Nutrition Programs’’ Final Rule
(RIN 0584–AE30) (published in the
Federal Register on July 29, 2016),
which have not been accounted for in
the burden. This change accounts for
the time needed for State agencies to
conduct an administrative review and
maintain the associated documentation.
This renewal also includes the addition
of 56 hours of reporting burden to
account for the quarterly performancebased reimbursement report, which was
mistakenly removed during the previous
renewal.
FNS collects program data from the
State agencies on Forms FNS–10 Report
of School Operations, FNS–13 Annual
Report of State Revenue Matching,
FNS–640 Administrative Review Data
Report Form, FNS–777 Financial Status
Report, and FNS–828 School Food
Authority Paid Lunch Price Report.
These forms are approved under OMB
Control # 0584–0594 Food Program
Reporting System (FPRS), which expires
September 30, 2019. The reporting
burden associated with these reports is
covered under #0584–0594 and is not
associated with this information
collection. However, the recordkeeping
burden is still maintained in this
collection.
This information collection is
required to administer and operate this
program in accordance with the NSLA.
This is a revision of the currently
approved information collection.

as amended, authorizes the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) to
safeguard the health and well-being of the nation's children and
provide free or reduced price school lunches to qualified students
through subsidies to schools. The United States Department of

with general and special cash assistance and donations of foods to
assist schools in serving nutritious lunches to children each school
day. Participating schools must serve lunches that are nutritionally
adequate and maintain menu and food production records to demonstrate
compliance with the meal requirements.
Section 10 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1779)
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to prescribe such regulations as
deemed necessary to carry out this Act and the NSLA (42 U.S.C. 1751 et
seq.). Pursuant to that provision, the Secretary has issued 7 CFR part
210, which sets forth policies and procedures for the administration
and operation of the NSLP. The Program is administered at the State and
school food authority (SFA) levels and operations include the
submission of applications and agreements, submission of the number of

monitoring reviews conducted by the State agency, and maintenance of
records. State and local operators of the NSLP are required to meet
Federal reporting and accountability requirements and are also required
to maintain records that include school food service accounts of
revenues and expenditures.
The reporting, recordkeeping, and public notification burden
associated with this revision decreased from 10,030,000 to 9,808,439
hours. This change is due to the removal of public notification burden
that occurred only once and decreases in the number of schools and SFAs
participating in the Program. Other changes include the addition of
304,640 hours of recordkeeping burden originating from
[[Page 35590]]
the ``Administrative Reviews in the School Nutrition Programs'' Final
Rule (RIN 0584-AE30) (published in the Federal Register on July 29,
2016), which have not been accounted for in the burden. This change
accounts for the time needed for State agencies to conduct an
administrative review and maintain the associated documentation. This
renewal also includes the addition of 56 hours of reporting burden to
account for the quarterly performance-based reimbursement report, which
was mistakenly removed during the previous renewal.
FNS collects program data from the State agencies on Forms FNS-10
Report of School Operations, FNS-13 Annual Report of State Revenue
Matching, FNS-640 Administrative Review Data Report Form, FNS-777
Financial Status Report, and FNS-828 School Food Authority Paid Lunch
Price Report. These forms are approved under OMB Control # 0584-0594
Food Program Reporting System (FPRS), which expires September 30, 2019.
The reporting burden associated with these reports is covered under
#0584-0594 and is not associated with this information collection.
However, the recordkeeping burden is still maintained in this
collection.
This information collection is required to administer and operate
this program in accordance with the NSLA. This is a revision of the
currently approved information collection.
