Short Statement: This submission is a reinstatement request that will add approximately 4,942 burden hours and 18,570 responses to the OMB inventory, and continues the School Food Purchase Study series that assesses school food acquisition changes over time. Since the last study in the series in 2009, school food acquisition has been impacted by program changes, such as the updated nutrition standards in 2012 to align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This fourth study in the series will provide insight into the changes since the 2009 study.
