This is a revision of the information collection under the burden number 0584-0293. This ICR will renew the previous collections associated with 0584-0293 and implement the two revised and seven new collections associated with the Food Distribution Programs: Improving Access and Parity final rule.

This notice announces the annual adjustments to the national average payment rates for meals and snacks served in child care centers, outside-school-hours care centers, at-risk afterschool care centers, and adult day care centers; the food service payment rates for meals and snacks served in day care homes; and the administrative reimbursement rates for sponsoring organizations of day care homes, to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index.

Given the importance of child support in uplifting families, we are rescinding the 2024 memo and reissuing the May 1, 2019 memo. We strongly encourages state agencies to not only review the 2019 memo, but also to evaluate and implement available opportunities to promote parental responsibility for the economic, social well-being, health, and stability of their children.

This notice announces the national average value of donated foods or, where applicable, cash in lieu of donated foods, to be provided in school year 2027 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) for each lunch served by schools participating in the National School Lunch Program, and for each lunch and supper served by institutions participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

This notice invites the general public and other public agencies to comment on this proposed information collection. This is a revision of a currently approved collection. 

We are proposing to introduce an update to the Privacy Act system of records, USDA/FNS-5, “Information on Persons Disqualified from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,” which is retitled to “USDA/FNA-5, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—Information on Persons Disqualified from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and on Households in the Quality Control Universe.”

We propose to rescind the System of Records, currently titled USDA/FNS-7, “Quality Control Subsample of Nonassistance Households Participating in the Food Stamp Program- USDA/FNS” published Sept.30, 1977.

The “Understanding Participant Experiences in SNAP E&T” project will help the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Administration to assess SNAP participants' understanding of work requirements and their experiences accessing SNAP E&T programs that meet their needs.
 

This proposed rule would amend the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program regulations to codify the reduction of the amount of the federal government's share of annual SNAP state administrative costs from 50% to 25%, effective beginning in fiscal year 2027.

This collection is an extension, without change, of a currently approved collection for maintaining the National Disqualified List of institutions, day care home providers, and individuals that have been terminated or otherwise disqualified from Child and Adult Care Food Program participation.
