National Average Payments/Maximum
Reimbursement Rates
AGENCY:
Food and Nutrition Service,
USDA.
ACTION:
Notice.
This Notice announces the
annual adjustments to the ‘‘national
average payments,’’ the amount of
money the Federal Government
provides States for lunches, afterschool
snacks and breakfasts served to children
participating in the National School
Lunch and School Breakfast Programs;
to the ‘‘maximum reimbursement rates,’’
the maximum per lunch rate from
Federal funds that a State can provide
a school food authority for lunches
served to children participating in the
National School Lunch Program; and to
the rate of reimbursement for a half-pint
of milk served to non-needy children in
a school or institution which
participates in the Special Milk Program
for Children. The payments and rates
are prescribed on an annual basis each
July. The annual payments and rates
adjustments for the National School
Lunch and School Breakfast Programs
reflect changes in the Food Away From
Home series of the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers. Food
and Nutrition Service has approved a
17-percent increase in school meal
reimbursement rates for Puerto Rico to
reflect their higher cost of providing
school meals. The rate adjustment will
take effect beginning July 1, 2016, for
school year 2016–2017. This increase is
based on data indicating that the cost of
producing school lunches, breakfasts,
and snacks are higher than those in the
continental United States, as well as
other factors impacting Puerto Rico’s
school meal program. The annual rate
adjustment for the Special Milk Program
reflects changes in the Producer Price
Index for Fluid Milk Products.

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.
For the period July 1, 2016 through
June 30, 2017, 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 19.75 cents. This reflects a
decrease of .25 cents from the School
Year (SY) 2015–16 level, based on the
1.32 percent decrease in the Producer
Price Index for Fluid Milk Products
from May 2015 to May 2016 (from a
level of 219.0 in May 2015, as
previously published in the Federal
Register, to 216.1 in May 2016).
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, 2016 through June 30,
2017 reflect a 2.64 percent increase in
the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers during the 12-month period
May 2015 to May 2016 (from a level of
255.322 in May 2015, as previously
