SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These 

programs are located in the Assistance 

Listings under Nos. 10.555 and 10.558 

and are subject to the provisions of 

Executive Order 12372, which requires 

intergovernmental consultation with 

State and local officials. (See 7 CFR part 

3015, subpart V, and final rule related 

notice published at 48 FR 29114, June 

24, 1983.) 

This notice imposes no new reporting 

or recordkeeping provisions that are 

subject to Office of Management and 

Budget review in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3507). This action is not a rule 

as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612) and thus is 

exempt from the provisions of that Act. 

This notice was reviewed by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866. Pursuant to the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 

et seq.), the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs designated this rule 

as not a major rule, as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). 

National Average Minimum Value of 

Donated Foods for the Period July 1, 

2022 Through June 30, 2023 

This notice implements mandatory 

provisions of sections 6(c) and 

17(h)(1)(B) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act (the Act) (42 

U.S.C. 1755(c) and 1766(h)(1)(B)). 

Section 6(c)(1)(A) of the Act establishes 

the national average value of donated 

food assistance to be given to States for 

each lunch served in the NSLP at 11.00 

cents per meal. Pursuant to section 

6(c)(1)(B), this amount is subject to 

annual adjustments on July 1 of each 

year to reflect changes in a three-month 

average value of the Producer Price 

Index for Foods Used in Schools and 

Institutions for March, April, and May 

each year (Price Index). Section 

17(h)(1)(B) of the Act provides that the 

same value of donated foods (or cash in 

lieu of donated foods) for school 

lunches shall also be established for 

lunches and suppers served in the 

CACFP. Notice is hereby given that the 

national average minimum value of 

donated foods, or cash in lieu thereof, 

per lunch under the NSLP (7 CFR part 

210) and per lunch and supper under 

the CACFP (7 CFR part 226) shall be 

30.00 cents for the period July 1, 2022 

through June 30, 2023. 

The Price Index is computed using 

five major food components in the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer 

Price Index (cereal and bakery products; 

meats, poultry, and fish; dairy; 

processed fruits and vegetables; and fats 

and oils). Each component is weighted 

using the relative weight as determined 

by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The 

value of food assistance is adjusted each 

July 1 by the annual percentage change 

in a three-month average value of the 

Price Index for March, April, and May 

each year. The three-month average of 

the Price Index increased by 15.50 

percent from 227.26 for March, April, 

and May of 2021, as previously 

published in the Federal Register, to 

262.50 for the same three months in 

2022. When computed on the basis of 

unrounded data and rounded to the 

nearest one-quarter cent, the resulting 

national average for the period July 1, 

2022 through June 30, 2023 will be 

30.00 cents per meal. This is an increase 

of four (4) cents from the school year 

2022 (July 1, 2021 through June 30, 

2022) rate. 

Authority: Sections 6(c)(1)(A) and (B), 

6(e)(1), and 17(h)(1)(B) of the Richard B. 

Russell National School Lunch Act (42 

U.S.C. 1755(c)(1)(A) and (B) and (e)(1), 

and 1766(h)(1)(B)).
