Title: Data Security Requirements for
Accessing Confidential Data.
OMB Control No.: 0579–NEW.
Summary of Collection: Title III of the
Foundations for Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act of 2018 (44 U.S.C.
3583; hereafter referred to as the
Evidence Act) mandates that OMB
establish a Standard Application
Process (SAP) for requesting access to
certain confidential data assets. While
the adoption of the SAP is required for
statistical agencies and units designated
under the Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2018 (CIPSEA), it is recognized that
other agencies and organizational units
within the Executive Branch may
benefit from the adoption of the SAP to
accept applications for access to
confidential data assets. The SAP is to
be a process through which agencies,
the Congressional Budget Office, State,
local, and Tribal governments,
researchers, and other individuals, as
appropriate, may apply to access
confidential data assets held by a federal
statistical agency or unit for the
purposes of developing evidence. With
the Interagency Council on Statistical
Policy (ICSP) as advisors, the entities
upon whom this requirement is levied
are working with the SAP Project
Management Office (PMO) and with
OMB to implement the SAP.
The SAP Portal is to be a single webbased common application designed to
collect information from individuals
requesting access to confidential data
assets from federal statistical agencies
and units. When an application for
confidential data is approved through
the SAP Portal, APHIS–NAHMS will
collect information to fulfill its data
security requirements. This is a required
step before providing the individual
with access to restricted use microdata
for the purpose of evidence building.
APHIS–NAHMS’s data security
agreements and other paperwork, along
with the corresponding security
protocols, allow APHIS–NAHMS to
maintain careful controls on
confidentiality and privacy, as required
by law. APHIS–NAHMS’s collection of
data security information will occur
outside of the SAP Portal.
The following bullets outline the
major components and processes in and
around the SAP Portal, leading up to
APHIS–NAHMS’ collection of security
requirements.
• SAP Policy: At the recommendation of
the ICSP, the SAP Policy establishes the SAP
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:48 Jan 09, 2025
Jkt 265001
to be implemented by statistical agencies and
units and incorporates directives from the
Evidence Act. The SAP Policy may be found
in OMB Memorandum 23–04.
• The SAP Portal: The SAP Portal is an
application interface connecting applicants
seeking data with a catalog of metadata for
data assets owned by the federal statistical
agencies and units. The SAP Portal is not a
new data repository or warehouse;
confidential data assets will continue to be
stored in secure data access facilities owned
and hosted by the federal statistical agencies
and units. The Portal provides a streamlined
application process across agencies, reducing
redundancies in the application process.
• Data Discovery: Individuals begin the
process of accessing restricted use data by
discovering confidential data assets through
the SAP metadata catalog, maintained by
federal statistical agencies at
www.researchdatagov.org.
• SAP Portal Application Process:
Individuals who have identified and wish to
access confidential data assets apply through
the SAP Portal. Applicants must create an
account and follow all steps to complete the
application. Applicants enter personal,
contact, and institutional information for the
research team and provide summary
information about their proposed project.
• Submission for Review: Agencies
approve or reject an application within a
prompt timeframe. Agencies may also request
applicants to revise and resubmit their
application.
• Access to Confidential Data: Approved
applicants are notified through the SAP
Portal that their proposal has been accepted.
This concludes the SAP Portal process.
Agencies will contact approved applicants to
initiate completion of their security
documents. The completion and submission
of the agency’s security requirements will
take place outside of the SAP Portal.
• Collection of Information for Data
Security Requirements: In the instance of a
positive determination for an application
requesting access to an APHIS–NAHMSowned confidential data asset, APHIS–
NAHMS will contact the applicant(s) to
initiate the process of collecting information
to fulfill its data security requirements. This
process allows APHIS–NAHMS to place the
applicant(s) in a trusted access category.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS–NAHMS is required by law to
uphold rigorous controls that allow it to
minimize disclosure risk and protect
confidentiality. The Data Security
Requirements will allow APHIS–
NAHMS to provide required training to
applicants on the laws and regulations
protecting the confidentiality of the data
it collects, policies and procedures for
data access, handling, and export, and
to designate the applicant agency status
according to Section 3572 of U.S.C. 44.

under the Richard B. Russell National
School Lunch Act. The 2025
reimbursement rates are presented as a
combined set of rates to highlight
simplified cost accounting procedures.
The 2025 rates are also presented
individually, as separate operating and
administrative rates of reimbursement,
to show the effect of the Consumer Price
Index adjustment on each rate. On
average, the 2025 rates adjustment
represents a 3.6 percent increase in the
rates from last year.
DATES: This adjustment is applicable
January 1, 2025.

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 part
415 and final rule-related notice
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 USDA
announces the adjustments in SFSP
payments for meals served to
participating children during calendar
year 2025.
The 2025 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.
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.
Calculation of Rates
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
Consumers, published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor. They represent a
3.6 percent increase in this series for the
12-month period, from November 2023
through November 2024 (from 360.383
in November 2023 to 373.530 in
November 2024).
Table of 2025 Reimbursement Rates
Presentation of the 2025 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, 2025, through December
31, 2025.

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.
