Title: Healthy Meals Incentives
Recognition Awards Application for
School Food Authorities.
Form Number: Not yet assigned.
OMB Number: Not yet assigned.
Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: The National School Lunch
Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast
Program (SBP) are Federally assisted
meal programs operating in public and
non-profit private schools and
residential child care institutions. The
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) administers the NSLP and SBP
at the Federal level. These programs
provide nutritionally balanced, lowcost, or no-cost meals to children each
school day. School lunches and
breakfasts provided through these
programs (i.e., school meals) must meet
Federal nutrition requirements, which
are based upon the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans.
On December 29, 2020, USDA and the
United States Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) released the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020–
2025 (2020–2025 DGA). During this
same time period, the Coronavirus
(COVID–19) public health emergency
caused major disruptions to the NSLP
and SBP and the food supply chain.
In February 2022, USDA FNS
published the Child Nutrition Programs:
Transitional Standards for Milk, Whole
Grains, and Sodium Final Rule
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘Transitional
Standards’’). This rule establishes
transitional standards to support the
continued provision of nutritious school
meals as schools respond to and recover
from the pandemic and while USDA
engages in notice-and-comment
rulemaking to update the meal pattern
standards to more comprehensively
reflect the 2020–2025 DGA.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
At the State level, the NSLP and SBP
are administered by State agencies,
which operate these programs through
agreements with School Food
Authorities (SFAs). While USDA FNS
establishes meal pattern requirements
and weekly dietary specifications for
school meals, decisions about the
specific foods to serve and how the
foods are prepared are made by SFAs.
USDA FNS recently announced the
Healthy Meals Incentives Initiative
Recognition Awards to support
improvements in the nutritional quality
of school meals through the generation
and sharing of innovative ideas and
tested practices being implemented at
the local level. These efforts will also
highlight the remarkable achievements
SFAs are making in the offering of
nutritious school meals that students
enjoy. The recognition awards will
spotlight innovative practices, student
and community engagement strategies,
and strategies schools have used to
provide meals that are consistent with
the 2020–2025 DGA. USDA FNS will
highlight and share these diverse best
practices nationwide through training
and technical assistance resources and
Healthy Meals Summits. SFAs meeting
Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition
Award criteria will receive
nonmonetary recognition and stipends
to attend and participate in the Healthy
Meals Summits.
FNS is developing the Recognition
Awards Application and is seeking
OMB approval. From August through
October 2022, FNS met with State
agencies and key school nutrition
stakeholders to discuss potential
Recognition Award categories, criteria,
and documentation.
The collected feedback has informed
the development of the Healthy Meals
Incentives Recognition Awards. FNS
anticipates providing up to 10 types of
recognition awards. SFAs may receive
awards in more than one category, but
SFAs shall receive each award only
once.
The application for the Healthy Meals
Incentives Recognition Awards is
planned to be available for SFAs to
apply between School Year 2023–2024
through School Year 2024–2025 (a twoyear period). The application form will
be available in both English and
Spanish, and in other languages and
alternative formats upon request. It will
include instructions, the awards’ criteria
and required documentation, and
sections to populate and/or upload the
required documentation. The form will
be designed to reduce burden for SFA
applicants by being accessible online
and including fillable sections to enter
text. The type of information that will

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 246 / Friday, December 23, 2022 / Notices
be collected will include SFA
information such as address, total
number of schools, number of schools
participating in the NSLP and SBP,
percentage of student eligible for freeand reduced-price meals, school
demographic information, such as
percentage of students’ race and
ethnicity, and the SFA point of contact
for the application. Also, each award
may have up to ten questions that will
be easy to respond by just entering a
short narrative or uploading
documentation and checking the box
once it has been completed. This
information will be used to verify that
the SFA meets the established
Recognition Award criteria. The type of
documentation to be submitted with the
application will vary by award but will
consist primarily of documentation that
the SFA is already required to maintain
as part of the NSLP and SBP, such as
school meal production records, menus,
Nutrition Facts labels and ingredients
statements for foods and beverages, and
recipes. As part of the application, the
SFA must include a form to be
completed by the State agency that has
an agreement with the SFA to operate
the NSLP and SBP. This form will
document that the SFA participates in
the NSLP and/or SBP, and does not
have any outstanding corrective actions,
unresolved findings, or findings related
to program discrimination complaints.
This form will include the name, title,
and contact information of the State
agency official that completes the form.
The form will include four questions
that will be answered by selecting the
best answer and a space to provide more
details as needed.
SFAs applying for the Healthy Meals
Incentives Recognition Awards will
receive up to three notifications about
the progress of their application,
including the confirmation that the
application has been submitted and
received, assistance for an incomplete
application, and final application
results. These notifications will be
electronic and will inform the SFA of
their application status and any
required steps to complete the
application process.
SFAs participating in the Healthy
Meals Incentives Recognition Awards
will also be asked to complete up to
three feedback forms. These forms are
needed to collect information about the
customer service provided to SFA
during the application process, collect
best practices, and collect follow up
information related to the delivery of
the Recognition Awards and attendance
at the Healthy Meals Summit. To
maintain the burden to complete these
forms as low as possible, they will be
completed online, with no more than
five questions, formatted so that the
SFA can select the best option, and
provide more details or comments as
needed.
The NSLP and SBP and the Healthy
Meals Incentives Recognition Awards
are administered in a nondiscriminatory
manner in accordance with civil rights
laws and regulations.
Affected Public: This collection has
two respondent groups. The first
respondent group includes School Food
Authorities (SFAs) that participate in
the National School Lunch Program
(NSLP) in the contiguous United States,
Hawaii, Alaska, District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Guam, or the United States
Virgin Islands. The second respondent
group includes State agencies that
administer the NSLP and/or SBP, and
have agreements with the SFAs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of
respondents is 2,054, consisting of 2,000
School Food Authorities and 54 State
agencies.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: School Food Authorities
(SFA) participating in the National
School Lunch Program will be invited
and encouraged to apply for at least one
of the Healthy Meals Incentives
Recognition Awards. There will be one
application with all the awards. The
SFA can use the application to apply for
any number of the awards. The SFA can
apply for all of the awards but may only
receive recognition for each award once.
SFAs that apply to the Healthy Meals
Incentives Recognition Awards will
need to read up to three notifications
related to the application process,
complete up to three feedback forms,
and may need to update their
application to correct missing or
inaccurate information.

Title: Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Awards Application for
School Food Authorities.
Form Number: Not yet assigned.
OMB Number: Not yet assigned.
Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School
Breakfast Program (SBP) are Federally assisted meal programs operating
in public and non-profit private schools and residential child care
institutions. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the NSLP and SBP at the
Federal level. These programs provide nutritionally balanced, low-cost,
or no-cost meals to children each school day. School lunches and
breakfasts provided through these programs (i.e., school meals) must
meet Federal nutrition requirements, which are based upon the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans.
On December 29, 2020, USDA and the United States Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) released the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans, 2020-2025 (2020-2025 DGA). During this same time period, the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency caused major disruptions
to the NSLP and SBP and the food supply chain.
In February 2022, USDA FNS published the Child Nutrition Programs:
Transitional Standards for Milk, Whole Grains, and Sodium Final Rule
(hereafter referred to as ``Transitional Standards''). This rule
establishes transitional standards to support the continued provision
of nutritious school meals as schools respond to and recover from the
pandemic and while USDA engages in notice-and-comment rulemaking to
update the meal pattern standards to more comprehensively reflect the
2020-2025 DGA.
At the State level, the NSLP and SBP are administered by State
agencies, which operate these programs through agreements with School
Food Authorities (SFAs). While USDA FNS establishes meal pattern
requirements and weekly dietary specifications for school meals,
decisions about the specific foods to serve and how the foods are
prepared are made by SFAs.
USDA FNS recently announced the Healthy Meals Incentives Initiative
Recognition Awards to support improvements in the nutritional quality
of school meals through the generation and sharing of innovative ideas
and tested practices being implemented at the local level. These
efforts will also highlight the remarkable achievements SFAs are making
in the offering of nutritious school meals that students enjoy. The
recognition awards will spotlight innovative practices, student and
community engagement strategies, and strategies schools have used to
provide meals that are consistent with the 2020-2025 DGA. USDA FNS will
highlight and share these diverse best practices nationwide through
training and technical assistance resources and Healthy Meals Summits.
SFAs meeting Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Award criteria will
receive nonmonetary recognition and stipends to attend and participate
in the Healthy Meals Summits.
FNS is developing the Recognition Awards Application and is seeking
OMB approval. From August through October 2022, FNS met with State
agencies and key school nutrition stakeholders to discuss potential
Recognition Award categories, criteria, and documentation.
The collected feedback has informed the development of the Healthy
Meals Incentives Recognition Awards. FNS anticipates providing up to 10
types of recognition awards. SFAs may receive awards in more than one
category, but SFAs shall receive each award only once.
The application for the Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Awards
is planned to be available for SFAs to apply between School Year 2023-
2024 through School Year 2024-2025 (a two-year period). The application
form will be available in both English and Spanish, and in other
languages and alternative formats upon request. It will include
instructions, the awards' criteria and required documentation, and
sections to populate and/or upload the required documentation. The form
will be designed to reduce burden for SFA applicants by being
accessible online and including fillable sections to enter text. The
type of information that will
[[Page 78919]]
be collected will include SFA information such as address, total number
of schools, number of schools participating in the NSLP and SBP,
percentage of student eligible for free- and reduced-price meals,
school demographic information, such as percentage of students' race
and ethnicity, and the SFA point of contact for the application. Also,
each award may have up to ten questions that will be easy to respond by
just entering a short narrative or uploading documentation and checking
the box once it has been completed. This information will be used to
verify that the SFA meets the established Recognition Award criteria.
The type of documentation to be submitted with the application will
vary by award but will consist primarily of documentation that the SFA
is already required to maintain as part of the NSLP and SBP, such as
school meal production records, menus, Nutrition Facts labels and
ingredients statements for foods and beverages, and recipes. As part of
the application, the SFA must include a form to be completed by the
State agency that has an agreement with the SFA to operate the NSLP and
SBP. This form will document that the SFA participates in the NSLP and/
or SBP, and does not have any outstanding corrective actions,
unresolved findings, or findings related to program discrimination
complaints. This form will include the name, title, and contact
information of the State agency official that completes the form. The
form will include four questions that will be answered by selecting the
best answer and a space to provide more details as needed.
SFAs applying for the Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Awards
will receive up to three notifications about the progress of their
application, including the confirmation that the application has been
submitted and received, assistance for an incomplete application, and
final application results. These notifications will be electronic and
will inform the SFA of their application status and any required steps
to complete the application process.
SFAs participating in the Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition
Awards will also be asked to complete up to three feedback forms. These
forms are needed to collect information about the customer service
provided to SFA during the application process, collect best practices,
and collect follow up information related to the delivery of the
Recognition Awards and attendance at the Healthy Meals Summit. To
maintain the burden to complete these forms as low as possible, they
will be completed online, with no more than five questions, formatted
so that the SFA can select the best option, and provide more details or
comments as needed.
The NSLP and SBP and the Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition
Awards are administered in a nondiscriminatory manner in accordance
with civil rights laws and regulations.
Affected Public: This collection has two respondent groups. The
first respondent group includes School Food Authorities (SFAs) that
participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) in the
contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska, District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, Guam, or the United States Virgin Islands. The second respondent
group includes State agencies that administer the NSLP and/or SBP, and
have agreements with the SFAs.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated number of
respondents is 2,054, consisting of 2,000 School Food Authorities and
54 State agencies.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: School Food
Authorities (SFA) participating in the National School Lunch Program
will be invited and encouraged to apply for at least one of the Healthy
Meals Incentives Recognition Awards. There will be one application with
all the awards. The SFA can use the application to apply for any number
of the awards. The SFA can apply for all of the awards but may only
receive recognition for each award once. SFAs that apply to the Healthy
Meals Incentives Recognition Awards will need to read up to three
notifications related to the application process, complete up to three
feedback forms, and may need to update their application to correct
missing or inaccurate information.
State agencies will need to complete only one State Agency
Confirmation Form per applicant SFA.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: The estimated total annual
responses are 18,000 responses.
2,000 respondents x 8 responses = 16,000 total annual responses from
School Food Authorities
2,000 respondents x 1 response = 2,000 total annual responses from
State agencies
Estimated Time per Response: The average estimated time of response
by School Food Authorities (SFAs) and State agencies is shown in the
table below and described in this section.
The estimated time of response by the SFAs is broken down in four
activities: new application, updated application, application
notifications, and feedback forms. For SFAs to complete the Healthy
Meals Incentives Recognition Awards Application, the estimated time of
response varies from 300 to 1,500 minutes depending on how many awards
the SFA applies for, with an average estimated time of 15 hours. To
update the application, the estimated time to respond by each SFA is
between 20 to 90 minutes depending on the number of updates needed to
the application information and/or documentation, with an average
estimated time of 1 hour. To read each of the notifications regarding
the status of the application, the estimated time of response by SFA is
between 5 to 35 minutes, with an average estimated time of 0.334 hour.
To complete each feedback form, the estimated time of response by SFAs
is between 25 to 35 minutes, with an average estimated time of 0.5
hour.
The estimated time of response by State agency to complete and send
the State agency confirmation form per SFA is between 20 to 40 minutes,
with and average estimated time of 0.5 hour.
