McGovern Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program and Food for Progress Program
This proposed rule would amend the regulations to administer the Food for Progress (FFPr) Program and the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program (McGovern- Dole Program) by making revisions to provide greater clarity with respect to all aspects of the program with specific emphasis on the eligibility requirements that a participant must meet, and the actions that must be undertaken by a participant in order to receive assistance under these programs, including the reports that are filed by program participants with the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). This proposed rule would also amend the Agriculture Acquisition Regulation (AGAR), to specify the criteria that is used in determining whether a commodity that is procured under these programs and under domestic feeding programs administered by USDA is considered to be a commodity that is a product of the United States. The purpose of these amendments is to improve efficiency of the programs and make it more clear to participants what they must do to meet eligibility requirements.
