SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Request for Special Priorities
Assistance.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0280.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,
2022.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: APAS would efficiently
place priority ratings on contracts or
orders of agriculture commodities up
through the wholesale levels,
agriculture production equipment,
allocate resources, and handle food
claims within its authority as specified
in the Defense Production Act (DPA) of
1950, as amended, when necessary to
promote national defense. It was
determined that food is a scarce and
critical commodity essential to the
national defense (including civil
emergency preparedness and response).
Unless its production, processing,
storage, and wholesale distribution are
regulated during times of emergencies,
the national defense requirement for
food and food production may not be
met without creating hardship in the
civilian marketplace. Applicants
(Government agencies or private
individuals with a role in emergency
preparedness, response, and recovery
functions) request authorization from
USDA to place a rating on a contract for
items to support national defense
activities. USDA Form AD–2102 can be
found by the public at https://forms.sc.
egov.usda.gov/eForms. Applicants must
supply, at time of request, their name,
location, contact information, items for
which the applicant is requesting
assistance on, quantity, and delivery
date. Applicants can submit the request
by mail or fax. There are no changes to
the burden hours since the last OMB
approval.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hour is the estimated average
time per response multiplied by the
estimated total annual responses.
Estimate of Respondent Burden:
Public reporting burden for the
information collection is estimated to
average 30 minutes (0.50) per response.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:16 Jan 07, 2022
Jkt 256001
Respondents: Individuals, businesses,
and agencies with responsibilities for
emergency preparedness and response.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 50.
Estimated Number of Reponses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
50.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 0.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 25 hours.
We are requesting comments on all
aspects of this information collection to
help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
FSA, including whether the information
will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s
estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission for Office of Management
and Budget approval.

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
Executive Order 12372, which requires
intergovernmental consultation with
State and local officials. (See 2 CFR, 415
and final rule-related document
published at 48 FR 29114, June 24,
1983.)
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520, no new recordkeeping or
reporting requirements have been
included that are subject to approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget.
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 2022.
The 2022 reimbursement rates are
presented as a combined set of rates to
highlight simplified cost accounting
procedures. Reimbursement is based
solely on a ‘‘meals times rates’’
calculation, without comparison to
actual or budgeted costs.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2022 / Notices
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.
Consumers, published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor. They represent a
5.8 percent increase in this series for the
12-month period, from November 2020
through November 2021 (from 298.253
in November 2020 to 315.481 in
November 2021).
Calculation of Rates
Presentation of the 2022 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, 2022 through December
31, 2022.
These changes are reflected below.
All States except Alaska and
Hawaii—Rural or Self-prep Sites—
Breakfast—2 dollars and 60.50 cents
(14.25 cent increase from the 2021
reimbursement rate), Lunch or Supper—
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.
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

The operating and administrative rates are calculated separately.
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 5.8 percent increase in this series for the 12-month
period, from November 2020 through November 2021 (from 298.253 in
November 2020 to 315.481 in November 2021).
Table of 2022 Reimbursement Rates
Presentation of the 2022 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, 2022 through December
31, 2022.
These changes are reflected below.
All States except Alaska and Hawaii--Rural or Self-prep Sites--

Administrative Rates
The administrative cost component of the reimbursement is
authorized under section 13(b)(3) of the NSLA, 42 U.S.C. 1761(b)(3).
Rates are higher for sponsors of sites located in rural areas and for
``self-prep'' sponsors that prepare their own meals at the SFSP site or
at a central facility instead of purchasing them from vendors. The
administrative portion of SFSP rates are adjusted, either up or down,
to the nearest quarter-cent.
These changes are reflected below.

Breakfast--23.50 cents (1.25 cent increase from the 2021 reimbursement
