DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Food and Nutrition Service
Summer Food Service Program for Children; Program Reimbursement
for 1994
AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice informs the public of the annual adjustments to
the reimbursement rates for meals served in the Summer Food Service
Program for Children (SFSP). These adjustments reflect changes in the
Consumer Price Index and are required by the statute governing the
Program.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert M. Eadie, Chief, Policy and Program Development Branch, Child
Nutrition Division, Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Alexandria, Virginia 22302, (703) 305-2620.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action is not a rule as defined by the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) and thus is exempt from
the provisions of that Act. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507), no new recordkeeping or reporting
requirements have been included that are subject to approval from the
Office of Management and Budget.
This program is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance under No. 10.559 and is subject to the provisions of
Executive Order 12372 which requires intergovernmental consultation
with State and local officials, (7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, and final
rule related notice published at 48 FR 29114, June 24, 1983).
Definitions
The terms used in this Notice shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in the regulations governing the Summer Food Service Program for
Children (7 CFR part 225).
Background
Pursuant to section 13 of the National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C.
1761) and the regulations governing the SFSP (7 CFR part 225), notice
is hereby given of adjustments in Program payments for meals served to
children participating in the SFSP during the 1994 Program. Adjustments
are based on changes in the food away from home series of the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the period November 1992
through November 1993.
The new 1994 reimbursement rates in dollars are as follows:
Maximum Per Meal Reimbursement Rates
Operating Costs:
Breakfast.................................................. 1.1600
Lunch or Supper............................................ 2.0825
Supplement................................................. .5450
Administrative Costs:
a. For meals served at rural or self-preparation sites:
Breakfast.................................................. .1075
Lunch or Supper............................................ .1975
Supplement................................................. .0525
b. For meals served at other types of sites:
Breakfast.................................................. .0850
Lunch or Supper............................................ .1650
Supplement................................................. .0425
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total amount of payments to State agencies for disbursement to
Program sponsors will be based upon these Program reimbursement rates
and the number of meals of each type served. The above reimbursement
rates, before being rounded-off to the nearest quarter-cent, represent
a 1.91 per cent increase during 1993 (from 141.5 in November 1992 to
144.2 in November 1993) in the food away from home series of the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, published by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor. Because of the
relatively small adjustment, the Department points out that several of
the new administrative rates are identical to the rates in effect for
the 1993 Program.
Authority: Secs. 9, 13 and 14, National School Lunch Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 1758, 1761 and 1762a).
Dated: January 3, 1994.
George A. Braley,
Acting Administrator, Food and Nutrition Service.
