Emergency Food Assistance Program; Availability of Foods for 
Fiscal Year 2018

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the surplus and purchased foods that the 
Department expects to make available for donation to States for use in 
providing nutrition assistance to the needy under The Emergency Food 
Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018. The foods made 
available under this notice must, at the discretion of the State, be 
distributed to eligible recipient agencies (ERAs) for use in preparing 
meals and/or for distribution to households for home consumption.

DATES: Implementation date October 1, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Polly Fairfield, Policy Branch, Food 
Distribution Division, Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, 3101 Park Center Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22302-1594 or 
telephone (703) 305-2662.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  In accordance with the provisions set forth 
in the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 (EFAA), 7 U.S.C. 7501, et 
seq., and the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 7 U.S.C. 2036, the 
Department makes foods available to States for use in providing 
nutrition assistance to those in need through TEFAP. In accordance with 
section 214 of the EFAA, 7 U.S.C. 7515, 60 percent of each State's 
share of TEFAP foods is based on the number of people with incomes 
below the poverty level within the State and 40 percent on the number 
of unemployed persons within the State. State officials are responsible 
for establishing the network through which the foods will be used by 
ERAs in providing nutrition assistance to those in need and for 
allocating foods among those ERAs. States have full discretion in 
determining the amount of foods that will be made available to ERAs for 
use in preparing meals and/or for distribution to households for home 
consumption.
    The types of foods the Department expects to make available to 
States for distribution through TEFAP in FY 2018 are listed in the 
table below.

Surplus Foods

    Surplus foods donated for distribution under TEFAP are Commodity 
Credit Corporation (CCC) foods purchased under the authority of section 
416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, 7 U.S.C. 1431 (section 416) and 
foods purchased under the surplus removal authority of section 32 of 
the Act of August 24, 1935, 7 U.S.C. 612c (section 32). The types of 
foods typically purchased under section 416 include dairy, grains, 
oils, and peanut products. The types of foods purchased under section 
32 include meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, dry beans, juices, and 
fruits.
    Approximately $184.4 million in surplus foods acquired in FY 2017 
are being delivered to States in FY 2018. These foods include Alaska 
pollock, apples, applesauce, apple slices, beans, blueberries, 
cranberries, cranberry sauce, eggs, figs, grape juice, peaches, pears, 
plums, raisins, and turkey. Other surplus foods may be made available 
to TEFAP throughout the year. The Department would like to point out 
that food acquisitions are based on changing agricultural market 
conditions; therefore, the availability of foods is subject to change.

Purchased Foods

    In accordance with section 27 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 
2008, 7 U.S.C. 2036, the Secretary is directed to purchase an estimated 
$288.8 million worth of foods in FY 2018 for distribution through 
TEFAP. These foods are made available to States in addition to those 
surplus foods which otherwise might be provided to States for 
distribution under TEFAP.
    For FY 2018, the Department anticipates purchasing the foods listed 
in the following table for distribution through TEFAP. The amounts of 
each item purchased will depend on the prices the Department must pay, 
as well as the quantity of each item requested by the States. Changes 
in agricultural market conditions may result in the availability of 
additional types of foods or the non-availability of one or more types 
listed in the table.
