Title: Team Nutrition Database.
Form Number: FNS 891 (Team
Nutrition Schools) and FNS 892 (Team
Nutrition CACFP Organizations).
OMB Number: 0584–0642.
Expiration Date: 10/31/2021.
Type of Request: Revision of a
Currently Approved Collection.
Abstract: Team Nutrition is an
initiative of the United States
Department of Agriculture’s Food and
Nutrition Service to support national
efforts to promote lifelong healthy food
choices and physical activity by
improving the nutrition practices of the
Child Nutrition Programs, including the
Child and Adult Care Food Program
(CACFP), the National School Lunch
Program (NSLP) and the School
Breakfast and Special Milk Programs
(SBP and SMP), in addition to the Fresh
Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP),
Afterschool Snacks, and Seamless
Summer Option (SSO). This initiative
provides resources to schools, child care
settings, and summer meal and
afterschool sites that participate in these
programs.
Team Nutrition applies the social
cognitive theory to change behavior
through three main strategies. The first
is to provide training and technical
assistance to child nutrition

professionals to enable them to prepare
and serve nutritious meals that appeal
to children. Team Nutrition also
increases opportunities for nutrition
education through multiple
communication channels to help
children gain the knowledge, skills, and
motivation to make healthy food and
physical activity choices as part of a
healthy lifestyle. Finally, Team
Nutrition helps to build and bolster
support for healthy school and child
care environments that encourage
nutritious food choices and physically
active lifestyles.
Since 1995, Team Nutrition has
collected information from schools via
the Team Nutrition Database to
communicate releases and updates of
Team Nutrition resources. In order to
reach CACFP program operators and
providers, FNS expanded the database
in December 2018 to collect the contact
information of interested CACFP
organizations (such as sponsoring
agencies and independent child care
centers). Those eligible entities that
choose to input their information into
the database, via the online Team
Nutrition Schools enrollment form
(https://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/schools)
or Team Nutrition CACFP Organization
enrollment form (https://
www.fns.usda.gov/tn/cacfp), will
receive electronic correspondence, such
as bimonthly newsletters and
promotions. These communications
announce the availability of new and
updated Team Nutrition materials that
support nutrition education and provide
technical assistance to foster a positive
healthy environment. This database
allows the opportunity for the enrolled
entities to affirm their commitment to
childhood nutrition and wellness while
also providing the opportunity to
collaborate with other peers.
Since the previous renewal in 2018,
the burden of this information
collection has decreased due to changes
in the number of respondents who are
providing information. FNS has
removed the school county field from
the Team Nutrition Schools form
because many participants did not
complete this field. FNS has made no
changes to the collection instrument for
Team Nutrition CACFP Organizations or
to the reminder notifications. Lastly, the
title of this collection has been renamed
from ‘‘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’’ to ‘‘Team
Nutrition Database’’ as it is commonly
known.
The collection of the school and
CACFP organization contact information
is currently approved under OMB
Control #0584–0642, which expires on
October 31, 2021. FNS wants to extend
this data collection to continue the
customer service provided to these
entities. Once this information
collection request has been reviewed
and approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), FNS
will update the collection with the new
expiration date.
