DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
August 3, 2020.
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by
September 8, 2020 will be considered. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Turnip the Beet! High Quality Summer Meals Program.
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: Turnip the Beet is a voluntary award program
to recognize participating sponsoring organizations (sponsors) in the
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) or the National School Lunch Program
(NSLP) Seamless Summer Option (SSO) that work hard to offer high
quality, nutritious meals during the summer months. The SFSP is
administered through sponsoring organizations that host meal sites in a
wide variety of settings, while the SSO is administered through
sponsoring school districts, offering an opportunity for the districts
to provide a seamless transition between school meals and summer meals.
Turnip the Beet is a tool to motivate summer meal sponsors to go above
and beyond basic regulatory requirements for the respective program
meal patterns. This voluntary information collection is authorized
under 42 U.S.C. 1761 Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
Need and Use of the Information: The information needed to process
the voluntary award nominations is collected from State Program Staff
and Businesses (SFSP or NSLP/SSO Program Sponsors). Sponsors can submit
nomination packets to the State Agencies, who verify that the packet is
complete. The State Agencies then forward the nominations to FNS who
score the nominations to determine the award winners. The nomination
process allows FNS to accurately assess the quality of meal service in
order to determine whether the individual sponsor qualifies for Turnip
the Beet recognition. The Turnip the Beet award encourages sponsoring
organizations to think creatively and strive for best practices in
their summer meals, thereby improving children's access to nutritious,
well-balanced meals. This allows FNS to administer summer meal programs
that serve the needs of communities nationwide, placing an increased
emphasis on the health of children without adding regulatory
requirements for the meals.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; and
Profit/Non-Profit Businesses.
Number of Respondents: 186.
