This information collection request is for a revision to the currently approved Special Nutrition Programs Quick Response Surveys.

With the revision, FNS will seek approval for the School Meals Operations (SMO) study to collect survey and administrative data about SY 2023-24 from a census of state agencies. The SMO study will not collect survey data about SY 2023-24 from school food authorities.
