Title: Food Security Supplement to
the Current Population Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0536–0043.
Summary of Collection: The Food
Security Supplement is sponsored by
the Economic Research Service (ERS) as
a research and evaluation activity
authorized under Section 17 of the Food
Stamp Act of 1977 as amended. ERS is
collaborating with the Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) and the Bureau
of Census to continue this program of
research and development. The Food
Stamp Program (FSP) is currently the
primary source of nutrition assistance
for low-income Americans enabling
households to improve their diet by
increasing their food purchasing power.
As the nation’s primary public program
for ensuring food security and
alleviating hunger, the Food Stamp
Program needs to regularly monitor food
security conditions among its target
population. This need requires that
USDA continue basic data collection,
analysis, and evaluation.

hunger within the U.S. population, as a
whole, and in selected population
subgroups, and to continue

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
To be eligible for a Marketing
Assistance Loan under the loan
provisions of 7 CFR part 1421, an
eligible commodity must be stored in
approved storage, which is either onfarm storage, or an approved warehouse
that meets the CCC standards for
approval of warehouses. Further, in
accordance with the CCC Charter Act
(15 U.S.C. 714 et seq.), CCC enters into
storage agreements with private grain
and rice warehouse operators to provide
for the storage of commodities owned by
CCC or pledged as security to CCC for
marketing assistance loans.
To ease the demands made on
approved warehouse space for the 2006
crop, the CCC will accept as collateral
for marketing assistance loans for corn,
wheat, and other feed grains, warehouse
receipts issued by a warehouse that is
storing such commodity in outside
storage if the warehouse has executed a
Uniform Grain and Rice Storage
Agreement (UGRSA) with CCC and if
the warehouse is either:
1. A Federally-licensed warehouse
under the United States Warehouse Act
(USWA) and is in compliance with the
provisions of its USWA license; or
2. For all other warehouses, the
warehouse is in compliance with State
laws allowing the outside storage of
such commodities.
