Abstract: Section 3 of the Child
Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966, (42 U.S.C.
1772) authorizes the Special Milk
Program (SMP). It provides for the
appropriation of such sums as may be
necessary to enable the Secretary of
Agriculture to encourage the
consumption of fluid milk by children
in the United States in: (1) Nonprofit
schools of high school grade and under;
and (2) nonprofit nursery schools, child
care centers, settlement houses, summer
camps, and similar nonprofit
institutions devoted to the care and
training of children, which do not
participate in a food service program
authorized under the CNA or the
National School Lunch Act.
Section 10 of the CNA (42 U.S.C.
1779) requires the Secretary of
Agriculture to prescribe such
regulations as deemed necessary to
carry out this Act and the National
School Lunch Act. Pursuant to that
provision, the Secretary has issued 7

and procedures for the administration
and operation of the SMP. State and
local operators of the SMP are required
