other technical details. The APL is
unique to each State agency. There is no
Federal or national APL.
WIC State agencies update their APLs
on a regular basis. Consistent with 7
CFR 246.12 and per WIC EBT operating
rules, WIC-authorized vendors are
required to retrieve a State agency’s APL
and apply it to their cash register
systems at least every 48 hours, but
most do so on a nightly basis.
WIC State agencies send a copy of
their individual APLs to the NUPC
database. After passing a screening and
once additional nutritional product
information is gathered, the individual
products on the State agency’s APL are
added to the NUPC database. A State
agency’s raw APL file is not available
for download via the NUPC database.
The NUPC database currently
includes but is not limited to the
following information by food item from
WIC EBT State agencies, as applicable:
UPC or Price Lookup Code (PLU), the
latter for fresh fruits and vegetables;
product category (e.g., Bread/Whole
Grains) and subcategory (e.g., 100%
Whole Wheat); nutrition information
and ingredients; package images
including product labels; the
manufacturer name; manufacturer data
sheets when needed; and the State
agency authorizing the product. An
optional free form comments field is
available to State agencies. For fresh
fruits and vegetables, a State agency
may submit PLUs or UPCs. Appendix A
lists current NUPC database elements.
WIC State agencies may optionally
choose to submit pricing data into the
NUPC database, but this data is for
individual State agency use only. Most
State agencies do not enter pricing data,
due to the significant effort required to
enter and maintain it given pricing
fluctuations, coupled with the limited
benefit of use. Most prices are sensitive
to local market conditions.
A WIC State agency can use the NUPC
database to obtain product information
helpful in developing or modifying its
APL. The NUPC database reduces the
need to separately gather this same
information from manufacturers, food
retailers, food distributors or industry
food databases.
NUPC does not: (1) Represent a
complete/combined listing of all Statespecific APLs, but rather contains
individual APL-related data submitted
by WIC EBT States (and supplemented
with other nutrition-related
information); (2) set forth a Federal or
national WIC APL; or (3) include up-todate pricing information.
The original intent of the NUPC
database was to support statewide
implementation of EBT. As more WIC

State agencies achieve statewide EBT,
FNS seeks input regarding the use of the
NUPC database by the program
community and different options for
operating, maintaining, and/or
enhancing the database. FNS poses the
questions below to prompt stakeholder
responses.
USDA FNS is seeking information
from stakeholders on the following
questions:
1. For WIC State agency input only, is
the current NUPC database useful in its
current form in creating and managing
APLs and implementing EBT? Please
explain.
2. Within HHFKA statutory
requirements, should USDA FNS reenvision its approach to the NUPC
database to the benefit of program
stakeholders? Please explain.
3. Given currently available NUPC
database information, what are the
advantages and disadvantages of
providing NUPC database access to, or
sharing WIC State agency NUPC-related
information with, other entities such as
food manufacturers and/or WIC
authorized vendors?
4. Although current statute requires
USDA to operate an NUPC database for
use by WIC EBT States, do WIC State
agencies prefer to create and manage
their APLs without the use of the
Federal NUPC database? Please explain.
FNS appreciates your thoughtful and
responsive replies to all questions. Your
feedback is essential to help FNS ensure
administration of the WIC Program is
effective and efficient as possible.
Together, we can strive to improve
operations and outcomes to best serve
participants, stakeholders, and
American taxpayers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)
is listed in the Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance under No. 10.559
and is subject to the provisions of
Executive Order 12372, which requires
intergovernmental consultation with
State and local officials. (See 2 CFR, 415
and final rule-related notice published
at 48 FR 29114, June 24, 1983.)
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520, no new recordkeeping or
reporting requirements have been
included that are subject to approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget.
This notice 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. Additionally, this
notice has been determined to be
exempt from formal review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866.
Definitions
The terms used in this notice have the
meaning ascribed to them under 7 CFR
part 225 of the SFSP regulations.
Background
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
This notice informs the public of the
annual adjustments to the
reimbursement rates for meals served in
SFSP. In accordance with sections 12(f)
and 13, 42 U.S.C. 1760(f) and 1761, of
the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (NSLA) and SFSP regulations
under 7 CFR part 225, the United States
Department of Agriculture announces
the adjustments in SFSP payments for
meals served to participating children
during calendar year 2020.
The 2020 reimbursement rates are
presented as a combined set of rates to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:56 Jan 29, 2020
Jkt 250001
highlight simplified cost accounting
procedures. Reimbursement is based
solely on a ‘‘meals times rates’’
calculation, without comparison to
actual or budgeted costs.
Sponsors receive reimbursement that
is determined by the number of
reimbursable meals served, multiplied
by the combined rates for food service
operations and administration.
However, the combined rate is based on
separate operating and administrative
rates of reimbursement, each of which is
adjusted differently for inflation.
Calculation of Rates
The combined rates are constructed
from individually authorized operating
and administrative reimbursements.
Simplified procedures provide
flexibility, enabling sponsors to manage
their reimbursements to pay for any
allowable cost, regardless of the cost
category. Sponsors remain responsible,
however, for ensuring proper
administration of the Program, while
providing the best possible nutrition
benefit to children.
The operating and administrative
rates are calculated separately.
However, the calculations of
adjustments for both cost categories are
based on the same set of 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 United States
Department of Labor. They represent a
3.2 percent increase in this series for the
12-month period, from November 2018
through November 2019 (from 278.306
in November 2017 to 287.255 in
November 2019).

Administrative Rates
The administrative cost component of the reimbursement is
authorized under section 13(b)(3) of the NSLA, 42 U.S.C. 1761(b)(3).
Rates are higher for sponsors of sites located in rural areas and for
``self-prep'' sponsors that prepare their own meals at the SFSP site or
at a central facility instead of purchasing them from vendors. The
administrative portion of SFSP rates are adjusted, either up or down,
to the nearest quarter-cent.
These changes are reflected below.
