Abstract: FNS administers the Child
Nutrition (CN) Programs in partnership
with States, local SFAs, other program
sponsors, and local program operators.
Section 28(a) of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act authorizes
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Secretary to conduct annual national
performance assessments of the school
meal programs and requires States and
local entities participating in the
programs to cooperate with program
research and evaluations. FNS plans to
collect periodic data to obtain
information on operational challenges
facing institutions who operate or
administer child nutrition programs,
including State agencies, SFAs and
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)
Sponsors. The Operational Challenges
in Child Nutrition Programs (OCCNP)
Surveys, are designed to collect timely
data on emerging school food service
operational challenges, including but
not limited to supply chain disruptions,
food costs, and labor shortages, and/or
related issues in SY 2023–2024, 2024–
2025, and SY 2025–2026. Access to a
timely and reliable source of data on
these topics has become particularly
important following the COVID–19
pandemic. In addition to changing the
ways that school meal programs
operated, the pandemic has contributed
to lasting supply chain issues and
substantial changes in the cost and
availability of food and labor. The
ability to collect this data will allow
FNS to provide the best possible
support to States and program sponsors
and operators facing continued food
service operations challenges and
enable FNS to respond more quickly
and effectively to potential disruptions
in the future.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 88 / Monday, May 8, 2023 / Notices
To administer the survey(s), FNS may
first contact State agencies
administering child nutrition programs
to obtain current lists of the respondent
population(s) of interest (e.g., SFAs,
SFSP Sponsors, or CACFP Sponsors). In
the case of SFAs and SFSP Sponsors,
the list will be used to conduct a census;
in the case of CACFP Sponsors, the list
will be used to generate a representative
sample of respondents. After identifying
the appropriate respondent
population(s), FNS with provide State
agencies with a template survey support
email to be distributed to the
respondent population(s) in their
respective States to provide information
regarding the survey and express
support for the data collection. If State
agencies administering child nutrition
programs and/or food distribution for
these programs will also be considered
survey respondents, these agencies will
receive additional communications from
FNS regarding their participation in the
survey. FNS will then email the survey
to respondent population(s) via the
Qualtrics Survey Software platform or a
similar software. The survey instrument
will include content tailored to each
respondent population, and will take
approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Survey administration will be similar
to the methods used for the SFA Survey
II on School Food Supply Chain
Disruption and Student Participation,
which obtained emergency clearance for
data collection in SY 2022–2023 and
was cleared by the Office of
Management and Budget on November
15, 2022 (SFA Survey II on School Food
Supply Chain Disruption and Student
Participation, OMB control number
0584–0677, expiration date 05/31/2023);
however, this proposed data collection
is different in that it is broader in scope
than the previous emergency clearance,
encompasses a broader potential
audience, and focuses on different
timeframes for collection in the future.
Under the emergency information
collection, data collection methods
operating child nutrition programs, as
needed, and distribute a survey support
email to these respondent groups
annually (three times total, in SY 2023–
2024, SY 2024–2025, and SY 2024–
2025). The selected respondent group(s)
will be asked to complete the web
survey once per year, though
respondents operating more than one
child nutrition program (e.g., SFAs that
also serve as SFSP Sponsors) will be
required to respond to survey questions
for each program. To estimate the
associated burden, we included separate
lines in the burden estimate table to
account for additional time SFAs may
spend on surveys for SFSP or CACFP
programs, respectively. There are 2,851
SFAs that also act as SFSP Sponsors; in
the case of CACFP Sponsors, it is
assumed that half of the representative
sample of CACFP Sponsors (935 of
1,869 total) are also SFAs.
In the event of non-response, survey
respondents will receive follow-up
email correspondence and will be
provided contact information for FNS
survey support as needed. Similarly,
State Agencies who do not provide
contact information for SFAs/Sponsors
upon request may receive email
reminders until current lists have been
obtained from all regions. FNS estimates
that respondents will average 5.17
responses (111,123 responses/21,497
respondents) annually, for a total of
15.51 responses per respondent over the
three year period.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
111,123.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time per response ranges from
2 minutes (0.03 hours) to 20 minutes
(.33 hours) depending on the
instrument, as shown in the table below,
with an average estimated time for all
participants of 6 minutes (0.10 hours)
per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 11,220.39 hours. See the
table below for estimated total annual
burden for each type of respondent.
consisted of a web survey of all SFAs
nationwide operating child nutrition
programs in schools during SY 2022–
2023, and was distributed to 18,843
SFAs based on contact information
collected from the 56 CN agencies that
administer CN Programs at the state
level in the 50 States, District of
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the
U.S. Virgin Islands.
Affected Public: State, Local, and
Tribal Governments: Respondent groups
identified may include: (1) State
agencies administering child nutrition
programs or food distribution for these
programs, (2) SFA Directors, (3) SFSP
Sponsors (government and private, notfor-profit), and (4) CACFP Sponsors
(private, not-for-profit) from all 50
States, 5 territories and the District of
Columbia.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of
respondents per year is 21,511. This
includes (1) 70 State Agency Directors
(56 administering programs and 14 food
distribution only); (2) 18,843 SFA
Directors; (3) 1,663 SFSP Sponsors
(government and non-profit private
Sponsors, not including SFAs); and (4)
935 CACFP Sponsors (based on a
representative sample of Sponsors, not
including SFAs). Consistent with past
approaches, each survey will engage
nine pretest participants representative
of the respondent population(s). For the
purpose of estimating respondent
burden, it is assumed that the pretest
reflects participation on behalf of State
Child Nutrition Directors; SFA Directors
(government and private, not-for-profit
business); SFSP Sponsors (government
and private, not-for-profit business); and
CACFP Sponsors (private, not-for-profit
business). Pretest participants will be
adjusted accordingly based on the needs
and content of each survey and SFAs
operating multiple child nutrition
programs may be prioritized.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: State Agency Director
respondents will be asked to provide a
current list of SFAs and/or Sponsors

Title: Operational Challenges in Child Nutrition Programs (OCCNP)
Surveys.
Form Number: N/A.
OMB Number: 0584-NEW.
Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: FNS administers the Child Nutrition (CN) Programs in
partnership with States, local SFAs, other program sponsors, and local
program operators. Section 28(a) of the Richard B. Russell National
School Lunch Act authorizes the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Secretary to conduct annual national performance assessments of the
school meal programs and requires States and local entities
participating in the programs to cooperate with program research and
evaluations. FNS plans to collect periodic data to obtain information
on operational challenges facing institutions who operate or administer
child nutrition programs, including State agencies, SFAs and Summer
Food Service Program (SFSP) Sponsors. The Operational Challenges in
Child Nutrition Programs (OCCNP) Surveys, are designed to collect
timely data on emerging school food service operational challenges,
including but not limited to supply chain disruptions, food costs, and
labor shortages, and/or related issues in SY 2023-2024, 2024-2025, and
SY 2025-2026. Access to a timely and reliable source of data on these
topics has become particularly important following the COVID-19
pandemic. In addition to changing the ways that school meal programs
operated, the pandemic has contributed to lasting supply chain issues
and substantial changes in the cost and availability of food and labor.
The ability to collect this data will allow FNS to provide the best
possible support to States and program sponsors and operators facing
continued food service operations challenges and enable FNS to respond
more quickly and effectively to potential disruptions in the future.
[[Page 29626]]
To administer the survey(s), FNS may first contact State agencies
administering child nutrition programs to obtain current lists of the
respondent population(s) of interest (e.g., SFAs, SFSP Sponsors, or
CACFP Sponsors). In the case of SFAs and SFSP Sponsors, the list will
be used to conduct a census; in the case of CACFP Sponsors, the list
will be used to generate a representative sample of respondents. After
identifying the appropriate respondent population(s), FNS with provide
State agencies with a template survey support email to be distributed
to the respondent population(s) in their respective States to provide
information regarding the survey and express support for the data
collection. If State agencies administering child nutrition programs
and/or food distribution for these programs will also be considered
survey respondents, these agencies will receive additional
communications from FNS regarding their participation in the survey.
FNS will then email the survey to respondent population(s) via the
Qualtrics Survey Software platform or a similar software. The survey
instrument will include content tailored to each respondent population,
and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Survey administration will be similar to the methods used for the
SFA Survey II on School Food Supply Chain Disruption and Student
Participation, which obtained emergency clearance for data collection
in SY 2022-2023 and was cleared by the Office of Management and Budget
on November 15, 2022 (SFA Survey II on School Food Supply Chain
Disruption and Student Participation, OMB control number 0584-0677,
expiration date 05/31/2023); however, this proposed data collection is
different in that it is broader in scope than the previous emergency
clearance, encompasses a broader potential audience, and focuses on
different timeframes for collection in the future. Under the emergency
information collection, data collection methods consisted of a web
survey of all SFAs nationwide operating child nutrition programs in
schools during SY 2022-2023, and was distributed to 18,843 SFAs based
on contact information collected from the 56 CN agencies that
administer CN Programs at the state level in the 50 States, District of
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments: Respondent
groups identified may include: (1) State agencies administering child
nutrition programs or food distribution for these programs, (2) SFA
Directors, (3) SFSP Sponsors (government and private, not-for-profit),
and (4) CACFP Sponsors (private, not-for-profit) from all 50 States, 5
territories and the District of Columbia.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated number of
respondents per year is 21,511. This includes (1) 70 State Agency
Directors (56 administering programs and 14 food distribution only);
(2) 18,843 SFA Directors; (3) 1,663 SFSP Sponsors (government and non-
profit private Sponsors, not including SFAs); and (4) 935 CACFP
Sponsors (based on a representative sample of Sponsors, not including
SFAs). Consistent with past approaches, each survey will engage nine
pretest participants representative of the respondent population(s).
For the purpose of estimating respondent burden, it is assumed that the
pretest reflects participation on behalf of State Child Nutrition
Directors; SFA Directors (government and private, not-for-profit
business); SFSP Sponsors (government and private, not-for-profit
business); and CACFP Sponsors (private, not-for-profit business).
Pretest participants will be adjusted accordingly based on the needs
and content of each survey and SFAs operating multiple child nutrition
programs may be prioritized.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: State Agency Director
respondents will be asked to provide a current list of SFAs and/or
Sponsors operating child nutrition programs, as needed, and distribute
a survey support email to these respondent groups annually (three times
total, in SY 2023-2024, SY 2024-2025, and SY 2024-2025). The selected
respondent group(s) will be asked to complete the web survey once per
year, though respondents operating more than one child nutrition
program (e.g., SFAs that also serve as SFSP Sponsors) will be required
to respond to survey questions for each program. To estimate the
associated burden, we included separate lines in the burden estimate
table to account for additional time SFAs may spend on surveys for SFSP
or CACFP programs, respectively. There are 2,851 SFAs that also act as
SFSP Sponsors; in the case of CACFP Sponsors, it is assumed that half
of the representative sample of CACFP Sponsors (935 of 1,869 total) are
also SFAs.
In the event of non-response, survey respondents will receive
follow-up email correspondence and will be provided contact information
for FNS survey support as needed. Similarly, State Agencies who do not
provide contact information for SFAs/Sponsors upon request may receive
email reminders until current lists have been obtained from all
regions. FNS estimates that respondents will average 5.17 responses
(111,123 responses/21,497 respondents) annually, for a total of 15.51
responses per respondent over the three year period.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 111,123.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time per response ranges
from 2 minutes (0.03 hours) to 20 minutes (.33 hours) depending on the
instrument, as shown in the table below, with an average estimated time
for all participants of 6 minutes (0.10 hours) per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 11,220.39 hours. See
the table below for estimated total annual burden for each type of
respondent.
