Title: 2023 Farm to School Census.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0646.
Summary of Collection: Section 18 of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act authorized and funded USDA to establish a

The Census will be distributed to all public and private SFAs
(including residential child care institutions) participating in the
National School Lunch Program (NSLP) in the 50 states, American Samoa,
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and Washington, DC.
