Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), 

OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or

Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: School Food Purchase Study— 

III. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0471. 

Summary of Collection: To implement 

the requirements of Section 4307 of the 

Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 

2008 (Pub. L. 110–246), (H.R. 2419). The 

legislation directs the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture to carry out a nationally 

representative survey of the foods 

purchased by School Food Authorities 

(SFAs) during the most recent school 

year for which data is available. The 

study includes two separate 

components: (1) The collection of food 

purchase data from a sample of SFAs 

and (2) a survey of SFA food 

procurement practice. The results will 

contribute to better understanding of the 

purchasing behavior of the SFAs and to 

various factors that influence the 

efficiency of school meal provision. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

purpose of this data collection is to 

address five overall study objectives that 

will assist the Food and Nutrition 

Service and other USDA agencies 

involved in procurement and 

distribution of donated commodities 

and administering the National School 

Lunch Program and School Breakfast 

Program. In addition, the study will 

furnish the opportunity for schools to 

describe their food purchase practices 

so that information associated with food 

buying efficiency can be provided to 

other schools. If the study is not 

conducted, it would obstruct the 

agency’s ability to measure the impact 

these changes are having on the costs of 

school meals and on child nutrition.

ACTION: Notice to extend deadline date. 

SUMMARY: The Rural Business—
