Form FNS-674 is used to request access to the USDA Food Program Reporting System (FPRS).  

This memorandum is meant to provide clarification and guidance on policies and procedures for donated food storage and distribution as they relate to product dating.

The purpose of this policy memorandum is to clarify the responsibilities of the state administering agency and the state distributing agency with respect to ensuring compliance with requirements for donated foods in the National School Lunch Program, the Summer Food Service Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Form FNS-57 is used by consignees to report overages and shortages in a shipment and commodities damaged in transit.

FDD has received several complaints recently about dried fruit and grain products that became infested in storage. Therefore, it is imperative that dried fruit and grain products are distributed to the end user as soon as possible after receipt from the vendor to avoid problems with infestation.

State agencies apply for reimbursement using Form FSA-21, submitted to the appropriate FNS regional office for approval.
