Title: 2023 Farm to School Census.
OMB Number: 0584–0646.
Expiration Date: 3/31/22.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 18 of the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act
authorized and funded USDA to
establish a farm to school program in
order to assist eligible entities, through
grants and technical assistance, in
implementing farm to school programs
that improve food and agriculture
education as well as access to local
foods in schools. This work is housed
within the FNS Office of Community
Food Systems (OCFS). As part of the
Farm to School Program’s authorization,
OCFS collects and disseminates
information on farm to school activity
throughout the country. OCFS
conducted a national census of farm to
school activity in 2013, 2015, and 2019.
The Farm to School Census provides the
only nationally-representative data
available on farm to school participation
and activities in the United States.
The 2023 Farm to School Census
(Census) will collect and synthesize
data from a national census of SFAs to
better understand the characteristics of
SFAs participating in farm to school and
the scope and details of the activities
they engage in (e.g., local food
procurement, gardening, agriculture
education). The Census will be
distributed to all public 1 and private
SFAs (including residential child care
institutions) participating in the
National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
in the 50 states, American Samoa,
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands,
1 Public includes charter schools that operate
NSLP.

Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and
Washington, DC.
The primary mode of data collection
will be an online survey, distributed to
SFA directors. (SFA directors will also
have the option to complete the survey
over the phone.) The online survey is
expected to take 30 minutes to
complete. Census questions will be
based on prior Farm to School Census
instruments, from the iterations
conducted in 2019 (the currently
approved collection, OMB Number
0584–0646), 2015 (OMB Number 0584–
0593), and 2013 (OMB Number 0536–
0069). Questions will be removed,
added or adjusted based on current
research interests and to make the
instrument as streamlined as possible.
To construct the contact list for the
Census, State Child Nutrition (CN)
directors will be sent a list of all SFAs
in their State or territory, based on the
most recently available FNS data. They
will be asked to (1) add or remove any
SFAs that have begun or ended
participation in the NSLP and (2)
provide contact information for the
director of each SFA. State CN directors
will also be asked to forward a
notification email and two email
reminders about the Census to SFAs.
Directors of State agriculture
departments will also be sent one email
to notify them of the Census and request
their assistance in encouraging SFAs in
their State to complete it.
Non-respondents will receive a
reminder phone call and up to ten
reminder emails. Phone calls, during
which SFAs will have the opportunity
to complete the Census over the phone,
will be conducted by trained
interviewers. Staff will also be available
for technical and completion assistance
via a toll-free phone number.
Affected Public: The affected public
includes State, Local, and Tribal
Government (directors of public SFAs
participating in the NSLP, State Child
Nutrition directors, State Agriculture
directors); Business or Other For Profit
(directors of private SFAs participating
in the NSLP); and Not for Profit
(directors of not for profit SFAs
participating in the NSLP).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The estimated number of respondents is
18,612. This includes 12,137
respondents and 6,475 non-respondents.

rate) and a 100% response rate to
requests to State CN and Agriculture
directors

asked to respond to each specific data
collection activity only once (with the
exception of the two requests to CN
directors to send reminder emails and 2
reminder emails from CN directors to
SFAs). The overall average number of
responses per respondent across the
entire collection is 14.7.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
The estimated number of total annual
responses is 274,111.

Title: 2023 Farm to School Census.
OMB Number: 0584-0646.
Expiration Date: 3/31/22.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 18 of the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act authorized and funded USDA to establish a farm to school
program in order to assist eligible entities, through grants and
technical assistance, in implementing farm to school programs that
improve food and agriculture education as well as access to local foods
in schools. This work is housed within the FNS Office of Community Food
Systems (OCFS). As part of the Farm to School Program's authorization,
OCFS collects and disseminates information on farm to school activity
throughout the country. OCFS conducted a national census of farm to
school activity in 2013, 2015, and 2019. The Farm to School Census
provides the only nationally-representative data available on farm to
school participation and activities in the United States.
The 2023 Farm to School Census (Census) will collect and synthesize
data from a national census of SFAs to better understand the
characteristics of SFAs participating in farm to school and the scope
and details of the activities they engage in (e.g., local food
procurement, gardening, agriculture education). The Census will be
distributed to all public \1\ and private SFAs (including residential
child care institutions) participating in the National School Lunch
Program (NSLP) in the 50 states, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern
Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington,
DC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Public includes charter schools that operate NSLP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The primary mode of data collection will be an online survey,
distributed to SFA directors. (SFA directors will also have the option
to complete the survey over the phone.) The online survey is expected
to take 30 minutes to complete. Census questions will be based on prior
Farm to School Census instruments, from the iterations conducted in
2019 (the currently approved collection, OMB Number 0584-0646), 2015
(OMB Number 0584-0593), and 2013 (OMB Number 0536-0069). Questions will
be removed, added or adjusted based on current research interests and
to make the instrument as streamlined as possible.
To construct the contact list for the Census, State Child Nutrition
(CN) directors will be sent a list of all SFAs in their State or
territory, based on the most recently available FNS data. They will be
asked to (1) add or remove any SFAs that have begun or ended
participation in the NSLP and (2) provide contact information for the
director of each SFA. State CN directors will also be asked to forward
a notification email and two email reminders about the Census to SFAs.
Directors of State agriculture departments will also be sent one email
to notify them of the Census and request their assistance in
encouraging SFAs in their State to complete it.
Non-respondents will receive a reminder phone call and up to ten
reminder emails. Phone calls, during which SFAs will have the
opportunity to complete the Census over the phone, will be conducted by
trained interviewers. Staff will also be available for technical and
completion assistance via a toll-free phone number.
Affected Public: The affected public includes State, Local, and
Tribal Government (directors of public SFAs participating in the NSLP,
State Child Nutrition directors, State Agriculture directors); Business
or Other For Profit (directors of private SFAs participating in the
NSLP); and Not for Profit (directors of not for profit SFAs
participating in the NSLP).
Estimated Number of Respondents: The estimated number of
respondents is 18,612. This includes 12,137 respondents and 6,475 non-
respondents. The number of unique respondents expected to provide data
for this study
[[Page 68461]]
are 9,862 State/local government respondents (56 CN directors, 56 State
Agriculture directors, 9,750 directors of public SFAs), 1,625 business
respondents (directors of private SFAs), and 650 not for profit
respondents (directors of not for profit SFAs). These numbers are based
on an estimated 65% response rate to the survey for SFAs (based on the
2019 Census response rate) and a 100% response rate to requests to
State CN and Agriculture directors
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: All respondents will
be asked to respond to each specific data collection activity only once
(with the exception of the two requests to CN directors to send
reminder emails and 2 reminder emails from CN directors to SFAs). The
overall average number of responses per respondent across the entire
collection is 14.7.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: The estimated number of total
annual responses is 274,111.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time of response varies
from 2 minutes (for some emails) to 30 minutes (for completion of the
Census survey), as shown in the burden table below. The estimated time
per response is 4.75 minutes (0.08 hours).
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 21,722 hours. This
includes 15,750 hours for respondents and 5,972 hours for non-
respondents. See the table below (Table 1) for estimated total annual
burden for each type of respondent.
