animals and animal products, is a major
business in the United States and
contributes to a favorable balance of
trade. To facilitate the export of U.S.
animals and products, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS), Veterinary Services maintains
information regarding the import health
requirements of other countries for
animals and animal products exported
from the United States. Many countries
that import animal products from the
United States require a certification
from APHIS that the United States is
free of certain diseases. These countries
may also require that our certification
statement contain additional
declarations regarding the U.S. animal
products being exported. Form VS–16–
4, Health Certificate-Export Certificate—
Animal Products, is used to meet theses
requirements. Regulations pertaining to
export certification of animals and
animal products are contained in 9 CFR
parts 91.
Need and Use of the Information:
Form VS 16–4 serves as the official
certification that the United States is
free of rinderpest, foot-and-mouth
disease, classical swine fever, swine
vesicular disease, African swine fever,
bovine fever, bovine spongiform
encephalopathy, and contagious bovine
pleuropneuomia. APHIS will collect the
exporter’s name, address, the name and
address of the consignee, the quantity,
unit of measure, type of product being
exported, the exporter’s identification,
and type of conveyance (ship, train,
truck) that will transport the products.
Without the information, many
countries would not accept animal
products from the United States,
creating a serious trade imbalance and
adversely affecting U.S. exporters.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 half-pint
of milk served to non-needy 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.
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
For the period July 1, 2007 through
June 30, 2008, the rate of reimbursement
for a half-pint of milk served to a nonneedy child in a school or institution
which participates in the Special Milk
Program is 17 cents. This reflects an
increase of 16.84 percent in the
Producer Price Index for Fluid Milk
Products from May 2006 to May 2007
(from a level of 159.1 in May 2006 to
185.9 in May 2007).
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 half-pint of
milk (the total cost of all milk purchased
during the claim period divided by the
total number of purchased half-pints)
for each half-pint 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
Labor. The changes in the national
average payment rates for schools and
residential child care institutions for the
period July 1, 2007 through June 30,
2008 reflect a 3.27 percent increase in
the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers during the 12-month period
May 2006 to May 2007 (from a level of
198.7 in May 2006 to 205.2 in May
2007). Adjustments to the national
average payment rates for all lunches
served under the National School Lunch
Program, breakfasts served under the
School Breakfast Program, and
afterschool snacks served under the
National School Lunch Program are
rounded down to the nearest whole
cent.
Lunch Payment Levels—Section 4 of
the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1753) provides
general cash for food assistance
payments to States to assist schools in
purchasing food. The Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act provides
two different section 4 payment levels
for lunches served under the National
School Lunch Program. The lower
