Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to
provide cash reimbursement and
commodity assistance, on a per meal
basis, for food service to children in
nonresidential child care centers and
family or group day care homes, and to
eligible adults in nonresidential adult
day care centers. The Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) has established
application, monitoring, recordkeeping,
and reporting requirements to manage
the Program effectively, and ensure that
the legislative intent of this mandate is
responsibly implemented.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected is necessary to
enable institutions wishing to
participate in the CACFP to submit
applications to the administering
agencies, execute agreements with those
agencies, and claim the reimbursement
to which they are entitled by law. FNS
and State agencies administering the
program will use the collected
information to determine eligibility of
institutions to participate in the CACFP,
ensure acceptance of responsibility in
managing an effective food service,
implement systems for appropriating
program funds, and ensure compliance
with all statutory and regulatory
requirements.
