This agreement sets out the requirements for administering the child nutrition programs and the food distribution programs.
FNS requires that inventories do not exceed a six-month supply of any USDA Foods without approval from FNS. Per 7 CFR 250.17(a), state agencies administering TEFAP are required to use Form FNS-155, Inventory Management Register, to report any food items in state and state-contracted warehouses that exceed six months of inventory.
FNS is codifying a revised statutory requirement included in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. The 2018 Farm Bill at section 4003 requires FDPIR administrative funds to remain available for obligation at the Indian Tribal Organization (ITO) and state agency level for a period of two federal fiscal years. This provision was self-executing and went into effect upon enactment of the 2018 Farm Bill in federal fiscal year 2019.
The ITO/state agency must submit Form FNS-152, Monthly Distribution of Donated Foods to Family Units, that documents the data obtained in the physical inventory with the perpetual inventory record. Shortages must be reported to the appropriate FNS regional office.
Form FNS-674 is used to request access to the USDA Food Program Reporting System (FPRS).
FNS Form 292A is to be used to report Commodity Distribution for Disaster Relief.
The purpose of this information collection request is to continue the use of the electronic form FNS-674, titled “User Access Request Form.”
This final rule amends the regulations for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program to phase out the eligibility of women, infants, and children.
This document announces approval of an information collection requirements (ICR) associated with the final rule entitled Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations: Income Deductions and Resource Eligibility was published on Aug. 27, 2013.
This rulemaking establishes requirements to simplify and improve the administration of and expand access to the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations and the Food Distribution Program for Indian Households in Oklahoma, both of which are referred to as FDPIR in this rulemaking.
