This notice was reviewed by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866. Pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801
et seq.), the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs designated this notice
as not a major notice, as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
unrounded data and rounded to the
nearest one-quarter cent, the resulting
national average for the period July 1,
2019 through June 30, 2020 will be
23.75 cents per meal. This is an increase
of one quarter of a cent from the school
year 2019 (July 1, 2018 through June 30,
2019) rate.
National Average Minimum Value of
Donated Foods for the Period July 1,
2019 Through June 30, 2020
Authority: Sections 6(c)(1)(A) and (B),
6(e)(1), and 17(h)(1)(B) of the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C.
1755(c)(1)(A) and (B) and (e)(1), and
1766(h)(1)(B)).
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 shall also be established for
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, 2019
through June 30, 2020.
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 increased by 0.74
percent from 205.07 for March, April,
and May of 2018, as previously
published in the Federal Register, to
206.58 for the same three months in
2019. When computed on the basis of
