Food and Nutrition Service *Title:* FNS Information Collection Needs due to COVID-19. *OMB Control Number:* 0584-0654. *Summary of Collection:* As the Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS)is responding to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, it is implementing and approving a number of waivers and program adjustments to ensure Americans in need can access nutrition assistance during the crisis while maintaining recommended practices. Two pieces of legislation have detailed many of the program adjustments available to FNS. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (Pub. L. 116-127) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (Pub. L. 116-136) provided a number of program adjustments and additional funding, respectively. The statutes describing these waivers and flexibilities also have reporting requirements. In addition, Section 12(l) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1760(l))
(NSLA)allows FNS to waive statutory and regulatory requirements established under the NSLA or Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 *et seq.* ) for a State or eligible service provider administering a Child Nutrition Program (CNP). FNS issues statewide waivers under NSLA waiver authority in response to State agencies' requests to facilitate the ability for Program operators to carry out the purposes of CNPs during COVID-19-related operations. These flexibilities also carry associated reporting requirements. *Need and Use of the Information:* The information enables the Food and Nutrition Service to examine waiver applications and provide reporting data required by the Families First Coronavirus Recovery Act (FFCRA) and Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. *Description of Respondents:* State, Local, or Tribal Government. *Number of Respondents:* 1,349. *Frequency of Responses:* Reporting: On occasion; Weekly. *Total Burden Hours:* 11,549.
