0584-AF25 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0584 Food and Nutrition Service FNS 0500 Department of Agriculture USDA Combating Fraud in the Child and Adult Care Food Program and the Summer Food Service Program

This rulemaking proposes changes to minimize false and fraudulent claims in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). The proposed changes are intended to provide State agencies and sponsoring organizations with additional tools needed to effectively and efficiently identify and remove fraudulent operators and protect taxpayer dollars in CACFP and SFSP. As an additional integrity measure, this rule also proposes to apply reciprocal disqualification procedures to school meal programs, CACFP, and SFSP as required by Section 12(r) of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) (42 U.S.C. 1760(r)). Finally, this rule proposes changes to the monitoring of day care homes and modifies recordkeeping requirements.
