Title: Child and Adult Care Food
Program (CACFP) National Disqualified
List.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0584.
Summary of Collection: The Food and
Nutrition Service administers the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42
U.S.C. 1771, et seq.). Section 243(c) of
Public Law 106–224, the Agricultural
Risk Protection Act of 2000, amended
section 17(d)(5) of the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act (42
U.S.C. 1766 (d)(5)(E)(i) and (ii)) by by
requiring the Department of Agriculture
to maintain a list of institutions, day
care home providers, and individuals
that have been terminated or otherwise
disqualified from CACFP participation.
The law also requires the Department to
make the list available to State agencies
for their use in reviewing applications
to participate and to sponsoring
organizations to ensure that they do not
employ as principals any persons who
are disqualified from the program. This
statutory mandate has been
incorporated into § 226.6(c)(7) of the
Program regulations.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) uses

Provider to collect and maintain the
disqualification data. The State agencies
use these forms, which are accessed
through a web-based National
Disqualification List (NDL) system, to
collect the contact information and the
disqualification information and reasons
on all individuals and institutions that
have been disqualified and are therefore
ineligible to participate in CACFP. The
information is collected from State
agencies as the disqualifications occur
so that the list is kept current. By
maintaining the web-based system, the
Department ensures program integrity
by making the NDL data available to
sponsoring organizations and State
agencies so that no one who has been
disqualified can participate in CACFP.
Without this data collection, State
agencies would not be able to prevent
individuals and institutions disqualified
in other States from reapplying to
participate in CACFP.
Description of Respondents: State,
local, or Tribal government.
