National Average Minimum Value of
Donated Foods for the Period July 1,
2015 Through June 30, 2016
This notice implements mandatory
provisions of sections 6(c) and
17(h)(1)(B) of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act (the Act) (42
U.S.C. 1755(c) and 1766(h)(1)(B)).
Section 6(c)(1)(A) of the Act establishes
the national average value of donated
food assistance to be given to States for
each lunch served in the NSLP at 11.00
cents per meal. Pursuant to section
6(c)(1)(B), this amount is subject to
annual adjustments on July 1 of each
year to reflect changes in a three-month
average value of the Producer Price
Index for Foods Used in Schools and
Institutions for March, April, and May
each year (Price Index). Section
17(h)(1)(B) of the Act provides that the
same value of donated foods (or cash in
lieu of donated foods) for school

lunches and suppers served in the
CACFP. Notice is hereby given that the
national average minimum value of
donated foods, or cash in lieu thereof,
per lunch under the NSLP (7 CFR part
210) and per lunch and supper under
the CACFP (7 CFR part 226) shall be
23.75 cents for the period July 1, 2015
through June 30, 2016.
The Price Index is computed using
five major food components in the
Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer
Price Index (cereal and bakery products;
meats, poultry and fish; dairy; processed
fruits and vegetables; and fats and oils).
Each component is weighted using the
relative weight as determined by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The value of
food assistance is adjusted each July 1
by the annual percentage change in a
three-month average value of the Price
Index for March, April, and May each
year. The three-month average of the
Price Index decreased by 3.75 percent
from 217.35 for March, April, and May
of 2014, as previously published in the
Federal Register, to 209.20 for the same
three months in 2015. When computed
on the basis of unrounded data and
rounded to the nearest one-quarter cent,
the resulting national average for the
period July 1, 2015 through June 30,
2016 will be 23.75 cents per meal. This
is a decrease of one cent from the school
year 2015 (July 1, 2014 through June 30,
2015) rate.
Authority: Sections 6(c)(1)(A) and (B),
6(e)(1), and 17(h)(1)(B) of the Richard B.

per meal. Pursuant to section 6(c)(1)(B), this amount is subject to
annual adjustments on July 1 of each year to reflect changes in a
three-month average value of the Producer Price Index for Foods Used in
