Title: Summer Food Site Locations for State Agencies.
Form Number: FNS-905.
OMB Number: 0584-0649.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2025.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The FNS-905 form: Summer Food Site Locations for State Agencies is the instrument used to collect information from State agencies about approved summer meal sites for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) of the National School Lunch Program. The form collects site name, location, and operating details such as dates and times of the day that the sites are in operation, for sites that provide summer meals to children 18 years and younger in low-income areas during summer months. The FNS-905 form is completed by State agencies.
The FNS-905 form is among the requirements found in statute in Section 26 of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1769g), which mandates that FNS enter into a contract with a nongovernmental organization to develop and maintain a national information clearinghouse for grassroots organizations working on hunger, food, nutrition, and other agricultural issues, including food recovery, food assistance and self-help activities to aid individuals to become self-reliant, and other activities that empower low-income individuals. The FNS-905 form is specific to summer meal site data and populates the National Hunger Clearinghouse database with summer meals site information and locations. The USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse is a resource for the public to find information about the food safety net. Information collection activities associated with the USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse and its associated FNS-543 form, National Hunger Clearinghouse Database Form, are covered under OMB Control Number 0584-0474, which is approved through May 31, 2028. Submission of the FNS-905 is a regulatory requirement per 7 CFR 225.8(e) which states that “by June 30 . . . the State agency must submit to FNS a list of open site locations and their operational details and provide a minimum of two updates during the summer operational period.” The information from this form is used to populate the Summer Meals for Kids Site Finder map at https://www.fns.usda.gov/summer/sitefinder.
FNS provides information about approved meal sites for individuals to find meals for children 18 years and younger when school is out for the summer, and for groups that assist low-income individuals or communities to find meals for children. This information is a way to connect families to summer meals and assist communities in developing, coordinating, and evaluating strategic initiatives, partnerships, and outreach activities.
In December 2022, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328), authorizing a new, non-congregate meal service option in rural areas where no congregate meal service is available. Beginning in summer 2025, the Act also makes it mandatory for states to report summer site data once by June 30 and update that data at least twice each year, for a minimum total of three annual submissions. However, FNS expects State agencies to continue to submit the form approximately 11 times a year. The currently approved burden for this collection is 73 burden hours and 583 responses. The estimated number of respondents increases from 53 respondents to 54 to account for full State agency compliance of this requirement. Due to 54 State agencies now complying with this requirement, the total annual responses will increase from 583 to 594. In addition, FNS is increasing the estimated time to complete the requirement from 7.5 minutes (.125 hours) to 8 minutes (.1336 hours) to more accurately reflect the time that it takes to complete the template. These changes increase the burden hours from 73 hours to 79 hours due to the adjustment.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government: Respondent groups ( printed page 35654) identified include State agencies administering the SFSP.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated number of respondents is 54. This includes the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico (the State agencies that administer SFSP).
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 11. The FNS-905 form is required to be used starting in summer 2025 and State agencies are required to report data at least three times during the summer operational period. States agencies are encouraged to submit weekly updates if there are any changes.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 594.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time of completion is approximately 8 minutes (0.1336 hours) for each response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 79 hours. See the table below for estimated total annual burden for the State agencies.
