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.

The USDA Food and Nutrition Service administers the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP).
This is a revision of a currently approved information collection with 13,548 burden hours and 12,890 responses. Due to adjustments resulting from decreases in the number of State agencies, updates to frequencies and response times, and the removal of duplicate reporting burden, FNS estimates that the burden hours for this collection will decrease by 6,917 hours and 9,421 responses. Therefore, FNS estimates that the revised burden with this renewal will be 6,631 burden hours and 3,469 responses.
