National Average Minimum Value of Donated Foods for the Period July 1, 
2017 Through June 30, 2018

    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 23.25 cents for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.
    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 0.98 percent from 201.77 for March, April, and May 
of 2016, as previously published in the Federal Register, to 203.76 for 
the same three months in 2017. 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, 2017 through June 30, 2018 will 
be 23.25 cents per meal. This is an increase of one quarter of a cent 
from the school year 2017 (July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017) 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)).
