Title: 2024-2025 National School Foods Study.
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: This new information collection request is
for the 2024-2025 National School Foods Study, which consists of three
components: School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study-II (SNMCS-II) (OMB
Control Number 0584-0648, expired 9/30/2022), School Food Purchase
Study (SFPS-IV) (OMB Control Number 0584-0471, expired 3/31/2012.
Later, a reinstatement with changes of a previously approved collection
was submitted for SFPS-IV but withdrawn on 6/11/2021), and an
evaluation of the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) (OMB Control
Number 0584-0556, expired 06/30/2013).
The school meal programs administered by the Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are
a cornerstone of the nation's nutrition safety net for low-income
children. The 2024-2025 National School Foods Study continues the long-
standing commitment of FNS to periodically assess the NSLP and SBP as
well as the FFVP. It will provide a comprehensive picture of these
programs in SY 2024-2025.
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) mandated
substantial changes to the nutrition standards for school meals. These
changes were implemented beginning in SY 2012-2013. The goal of the
updated standards was to increase the alignment of school meals with
the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and current information about the
nutrient requirements of school-age children (Institute of Medicine
2010). Key reforms stemming from this legislation included new, more
stringent meal pattern and nutrient requirements for school meals, new
offer-versus-serve rules, gradually increased prices for paid meals,
and the introduction of standards for competitive foods, called the
Smart Snacks in School nutrition standards.
Need and Use of the Information: The study will collect a broad
range of data from nationally representative samples of public SFAs and
their State Distributing Agencies (SDA), schools, students, and
parents/guardians during SY 2024-2025 in the 48 contiguous States and
DC. These data will provide needed information about how federally
sponsored school meal programs are operating over the 10 years
following implementation of major reforms, including new nutrition
standards that went into effect in SY 2012-2013 and more recent changes
that will be in effect during SY 2024-2025.
Description of Respondents: State, Local and Tribal Governments,
Businesses, Individuals and Households.
Number of Respondents: 22,571.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 36,653.62.
