financing, expanding research and
development to broaden supply chains,
addressing risks due to vulnerabilities
in digital products relied on by supply
chains, addressing risks posed by
climate change, strengthening supply
chains’ ability to promote nutrition
security, and any other
recommendations. For example, as a
part of this assessment, USDA is
interested in recommendations that
could improve local and regional food
production, processing, packaging, and
distribution, particularly for small to
mid-sized producers and processors;
support national nutrition security and
health; address agricultural workforce
needs; strengthen market transparency
(such as traceability); and address
disproportionate impacts on socially
disadvantaged communities. As USDA
implements stimulus relief programs
and spending authorized by the CAA
and ARPA, we seek public comments on
targeting funds toward food supply
chain resiliency. USDA’s initial
thinking includes, but is not limited to,
funding, through a combination of
grants or loans, needs such as: Supply
chain retooling to address multiple
needs at once (i.e., achieving both
climate benefits and addressing supply
gaps or vulnerabilities concurrently),
expansion of local and regional food
capacity and distribution (e.g., hubs,
cooperative development, cold chain
improvements, infrastructure),
development of local and regional meat
and poultry processing and seafood
processing and distribution, and food
supply chain capacity building for
socially disadvantaged communities.
USDA notes that we will also consider
public comments received during
USDA’s March 19, 2021, listening
session and associated written
comments on Coronavirus Response
Grants related to CAA funding as part of
the information considered for this
Executive Order report;
(x) any executive, legislative,
regulatory, and policy changes and any
other actions to strengthen the
capabilities identified in subsection (iii)
of this section, and to prevent, avoid, or
prepare for any of the contingencies
identified in subsection (iv) of this
section; and
(xi) proposals for improving the
Government-wide effort to strengthen
supply chains, including proposals for
coordinating actions with ongoing
efforts that could be considered
duplicative of the work of E.O. 14017 or
with existing Government mechanisms
that could be used to implement E.O.
14017 in a more effective manner.
USDA encourages commenters, when
addressing the elements above, to
structure their comments using the same
text as identifiers for the areas of inquiry
to which their comments respond. This
would assist USDA in more easily
reviewing and summarizing the
comments received in response to these
specific comment areas. For example, a
commenter submitting comments
responsive to ‘‘(i) critical and essential
goods and materials underlying
agricultural and food product supply
chains’’ would use that same text as a
heading in the public comment
followed by the commenter’s specific
comments in this area.
III. Requirements for Written
Comments
The http://www.regulations.gov
website allows users to provide
comments by filling in a ‘‘Type
Comment’’ field or by attaching a
document using an ‘‘Upload File’’ field.
USDA prefers that comments be
provided in an attached document.
USDA prefers submissions in Microsoft
Word (.doc files) or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf
files). If the submission is in an
application format other than Microsoft
Word or Adobe Acrobat, please indicate
the name of the application in the
‘‘Type Comment’’ field. Please do not
attach separate cover letters to
electronic submissions; rather, include
any information that might appear in a
cover letter within the comments.
Similarly, to the extent possible, please
include any exhibits, annexes, or other
attachments in the same file, so that the
submission consists of one file instead
of multiple files. Comments (both public
comments and non-confidential
versions of comments containing
business confidential information) will
be placed in the docket and open to
public inspection. Comments may be
viewed on http://www.regulations.gov
by entering docket number AMS–TM–
21–0034 in the search field on the home
page. All filers should name their files
using the name of the person or entity
submitting the comments. Anonymous
comments are also accepted.
Communications from agencies of the
United States Government will not be
made available for public inspection.
Anyone submitting business
confidential information should clearly
identify the business confidential
portion at the time of submission, file a
statement justifying nondisclosure and
referring to the specific legal authority
claimed, and provide a non-confidential
version of the submission. The
nonconfidential version of the
submission will be placed in the public
file on http://www.regulations.gov. For
comments submitted electronically
containing business confidential
information, the file name of the
business confidential version should
begin with the characters ‘‘BC.’’ Any
page containing business confidential
information must be clearly marked
‘‘BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL’’ on the
top of that page. The non-confidential
version must be clearly marked
‘‘PUBLIC.’’ The file name of the
nonconfidential version should begin
with the character ‘‘P.’’ The ‘‘BC’’ and
‘‘P’’ should be followed by the name of
the person or entity submitting the
comments or rebuttal comments. If a
public hearing is held in support of this
supply chain assessment, a separate
Federal Register notice will be
published providing the date and
information about the hearing.

Title: School Meals Operations Study:
Evaluation of the COVID–19 Child
Nutrition Waivers and Child Nutrition
Programs (formerly entitled School
Meals Operations Study: State Agency
COVID–19 Child Nutrition Waivers
Evaluation).
Form Number: N/A.
OMB Number: 0584–0607.
Expiration Date: 08/31/2022.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: FNS administers the school-
based Child Nutrition (CN) Programs
(i.e., the school meal programs) in
partnership with States and local SFAs.
Section 28(a) of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act authorizes
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Secretary to conduct annual national
performance assessments of the school
meal programs. FNS plans to conduct
this annual assessment through the
School Meals Operations (SMO) Study
in SY 2021–2022. FNS will also use the
SMO Study to fulfill States’ reporting
requirements on the nationwide waivers
approved by FNS pursuant to section
2202 of the Families First Coronavirus
Response Act (FFCRA) (Pub. L. 116–
127). This notice covers the second
iteration of the SMO Study, which will
collect data from State and local
agencies on the CN COVID–19 waivers
as well as data on state and local CN
program operations during SYs 2020–
2021 and 2021–2022. Participation in
the SMO Study will fulfill States’
statutory reporting requirements for the
CN COVID–19 nationwide waivers used
in fiscal year (FY) 21 and FY 22, which
correspond roughly to SYs 2020–21 and
2021–22, respectively.
The SMO Study is a revision of the
previously approved Child Nutrition
Program Operations Study II (CN–OPS
II, OMB control number 0584–0607). It
is designed to collect timely data on
policy, administrative, and operational
issues in the school-based CN Programs,
which contributes to budget
preparation, development and
implementation of program policy and
regulations, and identification of areas
for technical assistance and training.
Because the COVID–19 pandemic
changed the way that school meal
programs operated for SY 2020–2021,
with other CN programs such as the
Child and Adult Care Food Program and
the Summer Food Service Program
being used in place of or in combination
with the National School Lunch and
School Breakfast Programs (NSLP and
SBP) to provide meals to students, the
SMO Study will collect administrative
and web survey data from States on
each of these programs. Specifically,
this study will help FNS obtain:
1. General descriptive data on the
characteristics of CN Programs to inform
the budget process and answer
questions about topics of current policy
interest;
2. Data on program operations to
identify potential topics for training and
technical assistance for SFAs and State
Agencies (SAs) responsible for
administering the CN programs;
3. Administrative data to identify
program trends and predictors;
4. Information on the use and
effectiveness of the CN COVID–19
waivers, which will be used to satisfy
States’ reporting requirements on these
waivers under FFCRA.
The activities to be conducted subject
to this notice include:
•Collecting disaggregated
administrative data for FY 2021 and
FY 2022 from 67 State Agency
Directors that are currently only
reported in aggregate on forms FNS–
10, Report of School Program
Operations, FNS–418, Report of the
Summer Food Service Program for
Children, and FNS–44, Report of the
Child and Adult Care Food Program
(which are approved under OMB#
0584–0594, Food Programs Reporting
System (FPRS), expiration date 07/31/
2023)
•Conducting two web surveys of 67
State Agency Directors to meet the
statutory reporting requirements of
the CN COVID–19 waivers separately
for SY 2020–21 and SY 2021–22
within the one-year timelines set by
the FFCRA
•Conducting one web survey of 1,266
public SFA Directors
The first year of the SMO Study,
which sought clearance for data
collection in SY 2020–2021, was cleared
by the Office of Management and
Budget on March 4, 2021 (School Meals
Operations Study: State Agency COVID–
19 Child Nutrition Waivers Evaluation,
OMB control number 0584–0607,
expiration date 08/31/2022). The Year 1
collection only included the state-level
data collection components (web survey
and administrative data collection)
because it was repurposed to meet
States’ statutory reporting requirements
for the nationwide CN COVID–19
waivers by gathering information on the
use and effectiveness of the waivers
from March–September 2020. This
notice covers the second iteration of the
SMO Study, which intends to collect
data in SY 2021–2022 from both States
and public SFAs and in SY 2022–23
from States only. The administrative
data collection components subject to
this notice will cover FY 2021 (October
2020–September 2021) and FY 2022
(October 2021–September 2022), which
correspond roughly to SYs 2020–21 and
2021–22, respectively, while the web
surveys will ask about program
operations and the use and impacts of
the CN COVID–19 waivers during SYs
2020–2021 and 2021–2022. The State-
level surveys and administrative data
collections will be used to satisfy States’
reporting requirements on the CN
COVID–19 nationwide waivers pursuant
to the FFCRA.
Note: Personally identifiable information
(PII) will not be used to retrieve survey
records or data.
Affected Public: State, Local, and
Tribal Governments: Respondent groups
identified include: (1) SFA Directors for
public schools, and (2) State Agency
Directors from all 50 States, 5 territories
and the District of Columbia.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of
respondents is 1,339. This includes (1)
67 State Agency Directors (in some
States, CN programs are administered by
multiple agencies); the State Agency
Directors are expected to participate in
both of the administrative data
collections (FY 21 and FY 22) and State

Agency Director surveys subject to this
notice (3 of the 67 State Agency
Directors are also expected to
participate in the pretest, which will
only be conducted once), and (2) 1,272
SFA Directors. Six SFA Directors are
expected to participate in the pre-test of
the SFA Director web survey; these
pretest participants are unique
respondents and will not be included in
the sample for the SFA survey. An
additional 1,266 public SFA Directors
will be included in the sample for the
SFA Director web survey, of which
1,012 are expected to respond. The total
number of respondents also includes
254 non-respondents whom FNS
expects will not respond to the study
activities.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: State Agency Director
respondents will be asked to complete
an initial telephone meeting and
respond to the FNS–10, –418 and –44
administrative data requests one time
annually (two times total, in SY 2021–
22 and SY 2022–23). SFA Director
respondents will be asked to complete
their web survey one time in SY 2021–
22, while State Agency Directors will be
asked to complete two web surveys in
SY 2021–22 (fall of 2021 and spring/
summer of 2022), each of which will
focus on different sets of CN COVID–19
nationwide waivers in order to meet the
statutory reporting timeline of one-year
for each set of waivers under the
FFCRA. In the event of non-response,
State Agency Directors may receive
reminder emails, a phone call, and a last
chance postcard until the target of 67
respondents is reached. Similarly, SFA
Directors who do not respond may
receive reminders via email, phone, or
post card until the target number of
1,012 respondents is reached. FNS
estimates that respondents will average
6.65 responses (7,211 responses/1,085
respondents) across the entire
collection, with non-respondents
averaging 10.71 responses (2,720
responses/254 non-respondents). Across
all participants in the collection
(respondents and non-respondents) the
average number of responses is 7.42
(9,931 responses/1,339 total
respondents).
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
9,931.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time per response ranges from
3 minutes (0.0501 hours) to 6 hours
depending on the instrument, as shown
in the table below, with an average
estimated time for all participants of 20
minutes (0.34 hours) per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 3,408.40 hours. See the
table below for estimated total annual
burden for each type of respondent.
