Inviting Applications for Rural
Business Opportunity Grants
Title: School Food Purchase Study—
III.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0471.
Summary of Collection: To implement
the requirements of Section 4307 of the
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110–246), (H.R. 2419). The
legislation directs the U.S. Department
of Agriculture to carry out a nationally
representative survey of the foods
purchased by School Food Authorities
(SFAs) during the most recent school
year for which data is available. The
study includes two separate
components: (1) The collection of food
purchase data from a sample of SFAs
and (2) a survey of SFA food
procurement practice. The results will
contribute to better understanding of the
purchasing behavior of the SFAs and to
various factors that influence the
efficiency of school meal provision.
Need and Use of the Information: The
purpose of this data collection is to
address five overall study objectives that
will assist the Food and Nutrition
Service and other USDA agencies
involved in procurement and
distribution of donated commodities
and administering the National School
Lunch Program and School Breakfast
Program. In addition, the study will
furnish the opportunity for schools to
describe their food purchase practices
so that information associated with food
buying efficiency can be provided to
other schools. If the study is not
conducted, it would obstruct the
agency’s ability to measure the impact
these changes are having on the costs of
school meals and on child nutrition.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local and Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 425.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 5,313.
