Abstract: To encourage the efficient distribution of dairy products to families and individuals, while reducing food waste.

Emergency Justfication: This information collection is a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, Section 762 (Public Law 116-260), which directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a program to reimburse dairy organizations for donated dairy products to non-profit organizations for distribution to recipient individuals and families. The Interim Final Rule outlines the provisions of the new Dairy Donation Program (DDP), codified at 7 CFR part 1147, including the process entities must undergo to participate and receive reimbursement. Program provisions are intended to encourage the donation of dairy products and to prevent and minimize food waste.
