Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Child Nutrition Programs:
Community Eligibility Provision—
Increasing Options for Schools.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Child
Nutrition rule, ‘‘Child Nutrition
Programs: Community Eligibility
Provision—Increasing Options for
Schools (RIN 0584–AE93)’’ amends the
regulations associated with the School
Meals Program, which consists of the
National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
and the School Breakfast Program (SBP).
The rule expands access to the
Community Eligibility Program (CEP) by
lowering the minimum identified
student percentage participation
threshold from 40 to 25 percent. This
would give States and schools greater
flexibility to choose to invest nonFederal funds so that no-cost meals can
be offered to all enrolled students.
Students who are classified as
‘‘identified students’’ are directly
certified for free school meals and do
not need to submit a household
application. The proposal to lower the
required identified student percentage
expands access to the CEP, which
provides more schools with an
additional option for offering no-cost
meals to students without requiring
households to submit applications for
the free and reduced-price meals. This
rule amends existing information
collection requirements that are
currently approved in OMB Control
Number 0584–0026 7 CFR part 245—
Determining Eligibility for Free and
Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk in
Schools. Due to priorities for a number
of high-profile rules and other workload
priorities, FNS requested a new OMB
control number for this collection. FNS
intends to merge this new information
collection into OMB Control Number
0584–0026 at a later date.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
collects information for this collection,
which contains both mandatory and
required to obtain or retain benefit
requirements, from State administering
agencies, local education agencies
(LEAs), and households. The
information collected from State
agencies and LEAs ensures that
eligibility determinations are verified.
The information collected from
households is used to determine
eligibility for free and reduced-price
meal benefits to verify eligibility

determinations. FNS uses the
information to verify that the States and
LEAs are eligible to elect the CEP and
to ensure compliance with the
regulations. Households must meet
requirements to receive free or reducedprice meal benefits.

Local, or Tribal Government;
Individuals or Households.
