The instruments will be updated and resubmitted. The FFVP–II component of the study will compare student- and school-level outcomes in participating and nonparticipating schools in SY 2024– 2025, including student consumption of and attitudes towards fruits and vegetables, student energy intake and nutritional status, and school provision of nutrition education. It will also examine implementation components, such as school characteristics, program delivery, student participation and characteristics of participating and nonparticipating students. Section 28(a) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act authorizes this assessment of NSLP, SBP, and FFVP, including the cost of producing meals and the nutrient profile of meals. SFAs are sampled into different groups, which drive the data collection activities they are asked to participate in. Samples in Groups 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, and 3 are limited to the contiguous 48 States and DC. The outlying areas sample includes SFAs and schools in Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data collected from the Group 1a, 1c, 2a, and 3 samples will provide the precision required for national estimates of SFA-level characteristics and food service operations. Data collected from Groups 1a and 1b will be used to address study objectives related to types, amounts, and costs of food purchases and USDA Foods; changes in the mix of food acquired by schools since SFPS–III and the extent to which the costs of food have changed; the mix of foods acquired by various subgroups; school food purchase practices; and relationships between costs of food, food purchase practices, and SFA characteristics. Data collected from the Group 2a sample will be used to address study objectives related to the school nutrition environment and food service operations; the food and nutrient content of school meals; student participation in the NSLP and SBP; student/parent satisfaction with the school meal programs; and students’ characteristics and dietary intakes. Data collected from the Group 2b sample will be used to address study objectives related to the characteristics of SFAs, schools, and students participating in the FFVP; student/ parent satisfaction with the FFVP; and dietary intakes of students who do and do not participate in the FFVP. Data collected from the Group 3 sample will be used to address study objectives related to the school nutrition E:\FR\FM\19DEN1.SGM 19DEN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 19, 2023 / Notices environment and food service operations; the food and nutrient content of school meals; the costs to produce reimbursable school lunches and breakfasts, including indirect and local administrative costs, and the ratios of revenues to costs; and plate waste in the school meals programs.

    Title: 2024-2025 National School Foods Study.
    Form Number: N/A.
    OMB Number: 0584-NEW.
    Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Abstract: The SNMCS-II component of the 2024-2025 National School 
Foods Study will provide a comprehensive picture of the National School 
Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (NSLP and SBP, respectively), and 
will provide critical information about the nutritional quality, cost, 
and acceptability of school meals twelve years after major reforms 
began being phased in during the 2012-2013 school year (SY). SNMCS-II 
will collect a broad range of data from nationally representative 
samples of public school food authorities (SFAs); public, non-charter 
schools; students; and parents/guardians during SY 2024-2025. These 
data will provide Federal, State, and local policymakers with current 
information about how federally sponsored school meal programs are 
operating by updating the information that was collected in SY 2014-
2015 for SNMCS-I. In addition, findings from the SNMCS-II component 
will be compared to those from SNMCS-I to explore trends in key domains 
including the nutrient content of school meals, meal costs and 
revenues, and student participation, plate waste, and dietary intakes. 
SNMCS-II will also estimate the costs of producing reimbursable school 
meals in five States and Territories outside of the 48 contiguous 
States and the District of Columbia (DC) and examine the relationship 
of costs to revenues in those five outlying areas.
    The SFPS-IV component of the study will provide national estimates 
of public SFA food acquisitions (commercial purchases and USDA Foods) 
both in terms of cost and volume, in addition to a description and 
analysis of food purchase practices in SY 2024-2025. In addition, the 
study will assess changes in food acquisitions and purchase practices 
since the previous study in SY 2009-2010 to provide important 
information about the impact of the updated nutrition standards and 
other changes. Information about food buying efficiencies will be 
useful for SFAs as they strive to maximize available resources and 
improve food service operations.
    For SNMCS-II and SFPS-IV, these instruments were initially approved 
as part of OMB Control No. 0584-0648 (SNMCS-II) and OMB Control No. 
0584-0471 (SFPS-IV). Those data collections were postponed and 
eventually canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The instruments will 
be updated and resubmitted.
    The FFVP-II component of the study will compare student- and 
school-level outcomes in participating and nonparticipating schools in 
SY 2024-2025, including student consumption of and attitudes towards 
fruits and vegetables, student energy intake and nutritional status, 
and school provision of nutrition education. It will also examine 
implementation components, such as school characteristics, program 
delivery, student participation and characteristics of participating 
and nonparticipating students.
    Section 28(a) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act 
authorizes this assessment of NSLP, SBP, and FFVP, including the cost 
of producing meals and the nutrient profile of meals.
    SFAs are sampled into different groups, which drive the data 
collection activities they are asked to participate in. Samples in 
Groups 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, and 3 are limited to the contiguous 48 
States and DC. The outlying areas sample includes SFAs and schools in 
Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
    Data collected from the Group 1a, 1c, 2a, and 3 samples will 
provide the precision required for national estimates of SFA-level 
characteristics and food service operations.
    Data collected from Groups 1a and 1b will be used to address study 
objectives related to types, amounts, and costs of food purchases and 
USDA Foods; changes in the mix of food acquired by schools since SFPS-
III and the extent to which the costs of food have changed; the mix of 
foods acquired by various subgroups; school food purchase practices; 
and relationships between costs of food, food purchase practices, and 
SFA characteristics.
    Data collected from the Group 2a sample will be used to address 
study objectives related to the school nutrition environment and food 
service operations; the food and nutrient content of school meals; 
student participation in the NSLP and SBP; student/parent satisfaction 
with the school meal programs; and students' characteristics and 
dietary intakes.
    Data collected from the Group 2b sample will be used to address 
study objectives related to the characteristics of SFAs, schools, and 
students participating in the FFVP; student/parent satisfaction with 
the FFVP; and dietary intakes of students who do and do not participate 
in the FFVP.
    Data collected from the Group 3 sample will be used to address 
study objectives related to the school nutrition

environment and food service operations; the food and nutrient content 
of school meals; the costs to produce reimbursable school lunches and 
breakfasts, including indirect and local administrative costs, and the 
ratios of revenues to costs; and plate waste in the school meals 
programs.
    Data collected from the outlying areas sample will be used to 
estimate the costs of producing reimbursable school meals and the 
ratios of revenues to costs.
    Affected Public: Individual/Household respondents include: (1) 
Students (1st grade through high school) and (2) their parents/
guardians. Business or Other For Profit respondents include food 
service management company (FSMC) managers, and school food
