Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 1989 and Other Amendments

This interim rule incorporates changes to the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) as required by the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 1989, the Child Nutrition Improvement Act of 1992, and the Older Americans Act Amendments of 1992. These changes consist of making one change and one clarification to the requirements governing participation of adult day care centers in the CACFP; changing the basis for making commodities available to State agencies; clarifying the rules governing the participation of for-profit centers in the CACFP; and making two specific technical adjustments in the CACFP regulations. This interim rule also clarifies that households participating in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) are categorically eligible as free meal recipients under the CACFP. These changes are intended to reduce administrative burdens at the Federal, State, and local levels.
