Abstract:
This information collection is required to administer and operate this program in accordance with the Child Nutrition Act. The program is administered at the State agency level. Reports submitted and records maintained include agreements, financial reports, and the maintenance of accounting records for State Administrative Funds (SAE). The USDA Food and Nutrition Service administers the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP). In this revision, FNS is revising the FNS-525 form to eliminate data fields which collect data that FNS can obtain through its financial data systems. FNS is submitting a non-substantive change request in order to upload the correct version of FNS-525 into ROCIS. FNS discovered that the version of the form that was uploaded as part of the last renewal was not the current version of the form. FNS is taking this opportunity to upload the correct version into ROCIS.

Short Statement:
This is a revision of an information collection that is currently approved with 6,551 burden hours and 3,291 responses. In this revision, FNS revised the FNS-525 form to eliminate data fields from the form for the data that can be obtained from the FNS financial data systems. These revisions reduce the time that it takes to complete this form from 12 hours and 30 minutes to 2 hours and 15 minutes, depending on whether the State Agency is reporting how they have used their reallocated funds or is informing FNS that they are not requesting reallocated funds. This program change reduces the burden hours for this collection by 245 hours per year. The total number of responses for the collection remains unchanged. With this revision, FNS estimates that this collection will have 6,306 burden hours and 3,291 responses.
