Breakfast Program, the Child and Adult
Care Food Program, and the Summer
Food Service Program by, determining
the contribution a commercial product
makes towards the meal pattern
requirements. Legislative authority for
the programs is covered under The
National School Lunch Act (NSLA);
Public Law 90–302 enacted in 1968
amended the NSLA establishing the
Special Food Service Program for
Children. In 1975 Congress separated
the Child Care Food Program and
Summer Food Service components of
the SFAPFC and provided each with
legislative authorization.
The Child Nutrition Labeling Program
is implemented in conjunction with
existing label approval programs
administered by the Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS), and the U.S.
Department of Commerce (DoC). To
participate in the CN Labeling Program,
industry submits labels to AMS of
products that are in conformance with
the FSIS label approval program (for
meat and poultry), and the DoC label
approval program (for seafood
products).
Need and Use of the Information:
AMS uses the information collected to
aid school food authorities and other
institutions participating in child
nutrition programs in determining the
contribution a commercial product
makes towards the established meal
pattern requirements. AMS uses all of
the collected information to give the
submitted label an approval status that
indicates if the label can be used as part
of the CN Labeling Program. Without
the information CN Labeling Program
would have no basis on which to
determine how or if a product meets the
meal pattern requirements.

Forest Service
Title: Significant Cave Nomination.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0244.
Summary of Collection: The Federal
Cave Resources Protection Act (FCRPA)
[Pub. L. 100–691, 107 Stat. 4546]
requires the Secretaries of Agriculture
and Interior to identify and protect
significant caves on Federal lands
within their respective jurisdictions.
The information covered in this
collection applies to caves on Federal
lands administered by the Forest
Service. The FCRPA does not define
what constitutes a ‘‘significant’’ cave,
but it does require the Secretaries, in
cooperation and consultation with each
other, to issue regulations that define
criteria for identification of significant
caves found at (16 U.S.C. 4303(a)).
Need and Use of the Information: In
accordance with FCRPA, the FS collects
information from appropriate private
sector interests, including ‘‘cavers,’’ to

individual or organization submitting
the nomination and the individual who
is knowledgeable about the resources in
the cave; name and location of the cave,
a discussion of how the cave meets the
criteria, studies, maps, research papers
and other supporting documentation. If
this information is not collected FS
might not become aware of potentially
significant caves’ existence or have
insufficient information upon which to
base a judgment as to their significance.

Title: USDA Race, Ethnicity and

OMB Control Number: 0503–0019.
Summary of Collection: Section 14006
and 14007 of the Food, Conservation,
and Energy Act of 2008, 7 U.S.C. 8701
(referred to as the 2008 Farm Bill)
establishes a requirement for the
Department of Agriculture (USDA) to
annually compile application and
participation rate data regarding socially
disadvantaged farmers or ranchers by
computing for each program of the
USDA that serves agriculture producers
and landowners (a) raw numbers of
applicants and participants by race,
ethnicity, and gender, subject to
appropriate privacy protection, as
determined by the Secretary; and (b) the
application and participation rate, by
race, ethnicity and gender as a
percentage of the total participation rate
of all agricultural producers and
landowners for each county and State in
the United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
Data will be collected on a voluntary
basis through a questionnaire to
determine the race, ethnicity and gender
of farmers and ranchers who apply for
and who participate in USDA programs
and services. The data will enable the
Secretary and the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Civil Rights and the
agencies’ outreach offices in reaching
current and prospective socially
disadvantaged farmers or ranchers in a
linguistically appropriate manner to
focus resources in a particular county or
region where low participation is
indicated by the data to improve the
participation of those farmers and
ranchers in USDA programs. The data is
intended to be used as one indicator in
targeting and designing outreach
activities and in assessing compliance
with civil rights laws in program
delivery. The data may also be used as
an indicator in directing compliance
reviews to geographic areas where there
are indications of low participation in
USDA programs by minorities and

Forest Service
Title: Non-Timber Forest Products
Generic for Surveys, Interviews, and
Focus Groups.
OMB Control Number: 0596–243.
Summary of Collection: Many laws
and policies specifically direct the
USDA Forest Service (FS) to consider
and manage for non-timber forest
products for the benefit of the American
public and to meet trust responsibilities
to American Indians and Alaskan
Natives on federal and tribal lands.
Primary authorities to collect
information include the Multiple-Use
Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 that
requires the FS to manage national
forests ‘‘under principles of multiple
use and to produce a sustained yield of
products and services.’’ The Forest and
Rangeland Renewable Resources
Planning Act of 1974 requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to ‘‘maintain a
comprehensive inventory of renewable
resources and evaluate opportunities to
improve their yield of goods and
services. The 2012 Planning Rule
specifically requires ‘‘consideration of
habitat conditions for wildlife, fish, and
plants commonly enjoyed and used by
the public for hunting, fishing, trapping,
gathering, observing, and subsistence’’
on national forests.
Need and Use of the Information:
Surveys, interviews, and focus groups
administered under this generic
collection will be designed to collect
information from individuals and
groups who forage for non-timber forest
products and from natural resource
professionals who manage land where
non-timber forest products foraging
takes place. Non-timber forest products
harvested for use as food, medicine, and
other purposes are plants, mushrooms,
and plant- or tree-derived goods like
nuts, boughs, sap, and leaves. The FS
and other land management agencies
will not have a scientific basis for
managing non-timber forest product
resources and the lands that support
them without this information. Also, FS
will not have the necessary information
to provide technical advice on this issue
to other land management agencies and
individuals.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households; Non-profit
organizations and State, Local and
Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 14,250.
