As you are aware, the fiscal year 2002 Department of Agriculture appropriations legislation (PL 107-76), enacted on Nov. 28, 2001, extended the free and reduced price provision for for-profit centers in the CACFP through Sept. 30, 2002.
This memorandum clarifies the Child and Adult Care Food Program termination process and provides guidance on steps that can be taken if additional information becomes available subsequent to the termination of an institution.
This notice announces the value of donated foods or, where applicable, cash in lieu thereof, to be provided in the 2002 school year for each lunch served by schools participating in the National School Lunch Program or by commodity only schools and for each lunch and supper served by institutions participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
This memorandum responds to questions we have received on state or local health and safety requirements for OSHCCs and at-risk afterschool care centers in CACFP.
The purpose of this memorandum is to answer questions regarding the requirement at section 226.16(b) that state agencies approve sponsored facilities’ applications for participation in CACFP, and the timing of the initial reimbursements to sponsored facilities in CACFP.
Program changes made by this rule include easing restrictions on participation by private nonprofit organizations and food service management companies, streamlining rules for schools to encourage Program sponsorship, and reducing paperwork burdens for state agencies.
This notice corrects Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 210 to 299.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (PL 106-224) made a significant change to the procedures involved in terminating the participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program of an institution or a day care home determined to be seriously deficient. Specifically, these new procedures will require a change in the effective date of the termination and the flow of CACFP funds prior to the termination.
Apparently, there are still some state agencies and sponsoring organizations which believe that the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 made substantive changes to the current monitoring requirements for sponsoring organizations. The purpose of this memorandum is to reiterate the information provided to you earlier.
Under this proposed rule, certain afterschool care programs would earn reimbursement for snacks served which meet program requirements.
