In response to a recommendation of the CACFP Paperwork Reduction Work Group, we are issuing this memorandum to re-state previous guidance on facility applications and agreements.
National Interim Head Start Grantee Participation in CACFP: Community Development Institute
In response to the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 directive to examine the feasibility of reducing program paperwork and recordkeeping requirements, FNS convened a paperwork reduction work group of CACFP stakeholders. While the work group sought to identify opportunities to reduce paperwork for all CACFP institutions and facilities, providing relief to “non-traditional” facilities, especially emergency shelters, was a priority recommendation.
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance regarding the criteria and process for state agencies that wish to establish additional program requirements under the authority provided at 7 CFR 226.25(b) of the CACFP regulations.
This memorandum and attachments provide information needed to conduct the FY 2007 reallocation of SAE funds.
The attached report describes the process the work group took to develop and prioritize the recommendations.
