USDA Professional Standards Trainings and Tracker Tool (PSTTT) – Information Collection Extension
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service is seeking public comment on the extension of an existing approved information collection associated with the Professional Standards Trainings and Tracker Tool (PSTTT). This collection supports State agencies and school nutrition professionals in searching for, recording, and managing required professional training hours under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010. The PSTTT covers four mandatory training areas: nutrition, operations, administration, and communications and marketing. The extension does not introduce any changes to the existing collection; it simply continues the current approved framework for tracking compliance with federal professional standards for school nutrition staff. This notice is published in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which requires federal agencies to solicit public input before continuing information collections. Members of the public and other agencies are invited to submit comments regarding the burden, utility, and accuracy of the collection.
