SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food
and Nutrition Service is extending the
public comment period on the interim
final rule ‘‘Establishing the Summer
EBT Program and Rural Non-Congregate
Option in the Summer Meal Programs’’,
which published on December 29, 2023,
at 88 FR 90230. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2023 required the
Secretary of Agriculture to make
available an option to States to provide
summer meals for non-congregate meal
service in rural areas with no congregate
meal service and to establish a
permanent Summer Electronic Benefits
Transfer for Children Program (Summer
EBT) for the purpose of ensuring
continued access to food when school is
not in session for the summer. This
interim final rule amends the Summer
Food Service Program (SFSP) and the
National School Lunch Program’s
Seamless Summer Option (SSO)
regulations to codify the flexibility for
rural program operators to provide noncongregate meal service in the SFSP and
SSO, collectively referred to as the
summer meal programs. This rule also
establishes regulations and codifies the
Summer EBT Program in the Code of
Federal Regulations.
This action extends the public
comment period to August 27, 2024, to
provide additional time for the public,
including State administering agencies,
Territories, and Indian Tribal
Organizations, as well as program
participants and beneficiaries, and other
stakeholders, to prepare and submit
comments. Because the interim final
PO 00000
Frm 00004

rule became effective immediately upon
publication, stakeholders are already
taking active steps to implement its
provisions. Extending the comment
period ensures that these stakeholders
are able to provide robust feedback on
the entirety of the interim final rule’s
provisions, and that this feedback is
reflective of their implementation
experiences in advance of and during
Summer 2024. Receipt of informed
public input accounting for the first year
of operations under the new Program
rules will be vital when the Food and
Nutrition Service considers future
rulemaking to finalize the provisions of
the interim final rule.
