## Abstract

This final rule amends the Child and Adult Care Food Program regulations governing reimbursement for meals served in family day care homes by incorporating changes resulting from the Department's review of comments received on a January 7, 1997, interim rule. These changes and clarifications involve: The appropriate use of school and census data for making tier I day care home determinations; documentation requirements for tier I classifications; tier II day care home options for reimbursement, including use of child care vouchers; calculating claiming percentages/blended rates using attendance and enrollment lists; and procedures for verifying household applications of children enrolled in day care homes. This final rule also amends the National School Lunch Program regulations to facilitate tier I day care home determinations by requiring school food authorities to provide elementary school attendance area information to sponsoring organizations. These revisions implement in final form the provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to target higher CACFP reimbursements to low-income children and providers.
