Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Grant 
Abstract:

This rule finalizes regulations to implement section 28 of the Food and Nutrition Act (FNA) of 2008, as added by section 241 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010. The rule provides State agencies with requirements for implementing section 28, including the grant award process and describes the process for allocating the 100 percent Federal grant funding authorized under the Act to carry out nutrition education and obesity prevention services each fiscal year. This final rule codfies section 4028 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, which authorizes physical activity as a nutrition education activity. This final rule also codifies a provision of the FNA as section 28(b) which adds physical activity choices to the healthy food choices consistent with the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans that are promoted through State nutrition education and obesity prevention programs.
