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) 2022. 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: 

Katie Treen, Policy Branch, Food 

Distribution Division, Food and 

Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, 1320 Braddock Place, 

Alexandria, Virginia 22314 or telephone 

(703) 305–2674. 

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. 

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 $399.74 million worth of foods 

in FY 2022 for distribution through 

TEFAP. In addition, States will receive 

approximately $400 million in 

supplemental foods provided through 

the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and 

Economic Security Act (Pub. L. 116– 

136, CARES Act) as part of USDA’s 

Build Back Better initiative. These foods 

are made available to States in addition 

to those surplus foods which otherwise 

might be provided to States for 

distribution under TEFAP. 

For FY 2022, 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.
