a 2.80 percent increase during the 12month period, May 2004 to May 2005
(from 189.1 in May 2004 to 194.4 in
May 2005), in the series for all items of
the CPI for All Urban Consumers,
published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the Department of Labor.
The total amount of payments
available to each State agency for
distribution to institutions participating
in the program is based on the rates
contained in this notice.
This action is not a rule as defined by
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601–612) and thus is exempt from the
provisions of that Act. This notice has
been determined to be exempt under
Executive Order 12866.
This program is listed in the Catalog
of Federal Domestic Assistance under
No. 10.558 and is subject to the

published at 48 FR 29114, June 24,
1983.)

BILLING CODE 3410–30–P
Background
Special Milk Program for Children—
Pursuant to section 3 of the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42
U.S.C. 1772), the Department announces
the rate of reimbursement for a halfπpint
of milk served to nonneedy children in
a school or institution that participates
in the Special Milk Program for
Children. This rate is adjusted annually
to reflect changes in the Producer Price
Index for Fluid Milk Products,
published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the Department of Labor.
For the period July 1, 2005 to June 30,
2006, the rate of reimbursement for a
halfπpint of milk served to a nonneedy
child in a school or institution which
participates in the Special Milk Program
is 15.5 cents. This reflects a decrease of
8.87 percent in the Producer Price Index
for Fluid Milk Products from May 2004
to May 2005 (from a level of 185.9 in
May 2004 to 169.4 in May 2005).
As a reminder, schools or institutions
with pricing programs that elect to serve
milk free to eligible children continue to
receive the average cost of a halfπpint of
milk (the total cost of all milk purchased
during the claim period divided by the
total number of purchased halfπpints)
for each halfπpint served to an eligible
child.
National School Lunch and School
Breakfast Programs—Pursuant to
sections 11 and 17A of the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act, (42
U.S.C. 1759a and 1766a), and section 4
of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42
U.S.C. 1773), the Department annually
announces the adjustments to the
National Average Payment Factors and
to the maximum Federal reimbursement
rates for lunches and afterschool snacks
served to children participating in the
National School Lunch Program and
breakfasts served to children
participating in the School Breakfast
Program. Adjustments are prescribed
each July 1, based on changes in the
Food Away From Home series of the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers, published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the Department of
