In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice invites the general public and other public agencies to comment on proposed information collections. This collection is a revision of a currently approved collection associated with initiating and conducting Federal collection actions against households with delinquent Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program) recipient debts.

The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service published a document in the Federal Register on August 7, 2009, concerning requests for comments on the Summer Food Service Program Claim for Reimbursement, Form FNS-143. The document contained an incorrect date.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice invites the general public and other public agencies to comment on a proposed information collection for determining eligibility for free and reduced price meals and free milk in schools. 7 CFR part 245 contains information on Federal requirements regarding the determination and verification of eligibility for free and reduced price meals. The provisions also apply to the determination of eligibility for free milk under the Special Milk Program, OMB Number 0584-0005 and are generally applicable to the Child and Adult Care Food Program, OMB Number 0584-0055 and the Summer Food Service Program, OMB Number 0584-0280 when individual children's eligibility must be established. The current approval for the information collection burden associated with 7 CFR part 245 expires on January 31, 2010. This proposed collection is a revision of the currently approved collection for determining eligibility for free and reduced price meals and free milk in schools and concerns the collection of eligibility information and verification proceedings.

This rule finalizes the interim rule that implemented the statutory provision to prohibit direct or indirect restrictions on the sale or marketing of fluid milk on school premises or at school- sponsored events, at any time or in any place, in schools participating in the National School Lunch Program. This rule ensures that there are no policies or procedures in place that have the effect of restricting the sale or marketing of fluid milk.
