DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Food and Nutrition Service 

The Emergency Food Assistance 

Program; Availability of Foods for 

Fiscal Year 2021 

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

surplus and purchased foods that the 

Department expects to make available 

for donation to States for use in 

providing nutrition assistance to the 

needy under The Emergency Food 

Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2021. The foods made 

available under this notice must, at the 

discretion of the State, be distributed to 

eligible recipient agencies (ERAs) for 

use in preparing meals and/or for 

distribution to households for home 

consumption. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Rachel Schoenian, Policy Branch, Food 

Distribution Division, Food and 

Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, 1320 Braddock Place, 

Alexandria, Virginia 22314 or telephone 

(703) 305–2937. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the provisions set forth 

in the Emergency Food Assistance Act 

of 1983 (EFAA), 7 U.S.C. 7501, et seq., 

and the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 

7 U.S.C. 2036, the Department makes 

foods available to States for use in 

providing nutrition assistance to those 

in need through TEFAP. In accordance 

with section 214 of the EFAA, 7 U.S.C. 

7515, funding for TEFAP foods is 

allocated among States according to a 

formula that accounts for poverty and 

unemployment levels within each State. 

Section 214(a)(1) of the Act requires that 

60 percent of each State’s allocation be 

based on the number of people with 

incomes below the poverty level within 

the State; and Section 214(a)(2) requires 

that the remaining 40 percent be equal 

to the percentage of the nation’s 

unemployed persons within the State. 

State officials are responsible for 

establishing the network through which 

the foods will be used by ERAs in 

providing nutrition assistance to those 

in need and for allocating foods among 

those ERAs. States have full discretion 

in determining the amount of foods that 

will be made available to ERAs for use 

in preparing meals and/or for 

distribution to households for home 

consumption. 

Surplus Foods 

Surplus foods donated for distribution 

under TEFAP are Commodity Credit 

Corporation (CCC) foods purchased 

under the authority of section 416 of the 

Agricultural Act of 1949, 7 U.S.C. 1431 

(section 416) and foods purchased 

under the surplus removal authority of 

section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, 

7 U.S.C. 612c (section 32). The types of 

foods typically purchased under section 

416 include dairy, grains, oils, and 

peanut products. The types of foods 

purchased under section 32 include 

meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, dry 

beans, juices, and fruits. Additionally, 

in FY 2020, the Department used CCC 

authority in the CCC Charter Act of 

1948, 15. U.S.C. 714, for the Food 

Purchase and Distribution Program 

(FPDP), under which surplus foods 

affected by trade retaliation were 

purchased for distribution through 

TEFAP and other federal nutrition 

programs. 

Approximately $496.54 million in 

surplus and $208.32 million in FPDP 

foods acquired in FY 2020 will be 

delivered to States in FY 2021. Surplus 

foods currently scheduled for delivery 

in FY 2021 include almonds, apples, 

beans, blueberries, butter, cheese, 

cherries, chicken, eggs, figs, grapefruit 

juice, grapes, haddock, hazelnuts, 

lentils, milk, mixed fruit, orange juice, 

oranges, peaches, pears, pecans, 

pistachios, ocean perch, plums, Alaska 

pollock, Atlantic pollock, pork, 

potatoes, raisins, raspberry puree, 

shrimp, tomato sauce, turkey, and 

walnuts. FPDP foods scheduled for 

delivery in FY 2021 include apples, 

beef, butter, cheese, chicken, corn, eggs, 

dried fruit mix, lamb, milk, mixed fruit, 

orange juice, oranges, peaches, plums, 

pork, and potatoes. Other surplus foods 

may be made available to TEFAP 

throughout the year. The Department 

would like to point out that food 

acquisitions are based on changing 

agricultural market conditions; 

therefore, the availability of foods is 

subject to change. 

Purchased Foods 

In accordance with section 27 of the 

Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 7 

U.S.C. 2036, the Secretary is directed to 

purchase an estimated $322.5 million 

worth of foods in FY 2021 for 

distribution through TEFAP. In 

addition, States will receive 

supplemental foods provided through 

the Families First Coronavirus Response 

Act (Pub. L. 116–127, FFCRA) and the 

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic 

Security Act (Pub. L. 116–136, CARES 

Act). $309.5 million was provided 

through the FFCRA and $314.9 million 

through the CARES Act for 

supplemental food purchases made in 

FY 2020 and FY 2021. These foods are 

made available to States in addition to 

those surplus and FPDP foods which 

otherwise might be provided to States 

for distribution under TEFAP. 

For FY 2021, the Department 

anticipates purchasing the foods listed 

in the following table for distribution 

through TEFAP. The amounts of each 

item purchased will depend on the 

prices the Department must pay, as well 

as the quantity of each item requested 

by the States. Changes in agricultural 

market conditions may result in the 

availability of additional types of foods 

or the non-availability of one or more 

foods listed in the table.
