Final Rule

This final rule contains changes to the Summer Food Service Program as a result of a provision in the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994 which allows program meal service to be provided during periods of unanticipated school closures such as teacher strikes. Additionally, this rule makes discretionary changes to simplify sponsor and site applications and state agency monitoring requirements. Except for the state agency monitoring requirements, which were changed substantially, the final rule makes only minor modifications to the provisions of the proposed rule. These changes are intended to reduce unnecessary and duplicative administrative burdens for Summer Food Service Program sponsors and state agencies.
