encouraged to do so. 

13. Requirement To Submit a Project

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Applicants and other interested parties 

are encouraged to contact: Lydia M.

VIII. Other Information 

A. Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal 

Numbering System (DUNS) 

A DUNS number is a unique ninedigit sequence recognized as the 

universal standard for identifying and 

keeping track of over 70 million 

businesses worldwide. The Office of 

Management and Budget published a 

notice of final policy issuance in the 

Federal Register June 27, 2003 (68 FR 

38402) that requires a DUNS number in 

every application (i.e., hard copy and 

electronic) for a grant or cooperative 

agreement on or after October 1, 2003. 

Therefore, potential applicants should 

verify that they have a DUNS number or 

take the steps needed to obtain one. For 

information about how to obtain a 

DUNS number, go to http:// 

www.grants.gov. Please note that the 

registration may take up to 14 business 

days to complete. 

B. Required Registration with the 

Central Contract Registry (CCR) for 

Submission of Proposals 

The Central Contract Registry (CCR) is 

a database that serves as the primary 

Government repository for contractor 

information required for the conduct of 

business with the Government. This 

database will also be used as a central 

location for maintaining organizational 

information for organizations seeking 

and receiving grants from the 

Government. Such organizations must 

register in the CCR prior to the 

submission of applications. A DUNS 

number is needed for CCR registration. 

For information about how to register in 

the CCR, visit ’’Get Started’’ at the Web 

site, http://www.grants.gov. Allow a 

minimum of 5 business days to 

complete the CCR registration. 

C. Related Programs 

Funding availability for this program 

may be announced at approximately the 

same time as funding availability for 

similar but separate programs—CFDA 

No. 10.455 (Community Outreach and 

Assistance Partnerships), and CFDA No. 

10.457 (Commodity Partnerships For 

Risk Management Education). These 

programs have some similarities, but 

also key differences. The differences 

stem from important features of each 

program’s authorizing legislation and 

different RMA objectives. Prospective 

applicants should carefully examine 

and compare the notices for each 

program.

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 58 / Friday, March 27, 2009 / Notices 13411 

601–612) and thus is exempt from the 

provisions of that Act. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), 

no recordkeeping or reporting 

requirements have been included that 

are subject to approval from the Office 

of Management and Budget. 

This notice has been determined to be 

not significant and was reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget in 

conformance with Executive Order 

12866. 

The affected programs are listed in the 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

under No. 10.553, No. 10.555, No. 

10.556, No. 10.558 and No. 10.559 and 

are subject to the provisions of 

Executive Order 12372, which requires 

intergovernmental consultation with 

State and local officials. (See 7 CFR Part 

3015, Subpart V, and the final rule 

related notice published at 48 FR 29114, 

June 24, 1983.) 

Background 

Pursuant to sections 9(b)(1) and 

17(c)(4) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 

1758(b)(1) and 42 U.S.C. 1766(c)(4)), 

and sections 3(a)(6) and 4(e)(1)(A) of the 

Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 

1772(a)(6) and 1773(e)(1)(A)), the 

Department annually issues the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines for free and 

reduced price meals for the National 

School Lunch Program (7 CFR Part 210), 

the Commodity School Program (7 CFR 

Part 210), School Breakfast Program (7 

CFR Part 220), Summer Food Service 

Program (7 CFR Part 225) and Child and 

Adult Care Food Program (7 CFR Part 

226) and the guidelines for free milk in 

the Special Milk Program for Children 

(7 CFR Part 215). These eligibility 

guidelines are based on the Federal 

income poverty guidelines and are 

stated by household size. The guidelines 

are used to determine eligibility for free 

and reduced price meals and free milk 

in accordance with applicable program 

rules. 

Definition of Income 

In accordance with the Department’s 

policy as provided in the Food and 

Nutrition Service publication Eligibility 

Manual for School Meals, ‘‘income,’’ as 

the term is used in this Notice, means 

income before any deductions such as 

income taxes, Social Security taxes, 

insurance premiums, charitable 

contributions and bonds. It includes the 

following: (1) Monetary compensation 

for services, including wages, salary, 

commissions or fees; (2) net income 

from nonfarm self-employment; (3) net 

income from farm self-employment; (4) 

Social Security; (5) dividends or interest 

on savings or bonds or income from 

estates or trusts; (6) net rental income; 

(7) public assistance or welfare 

payments; (8) unemployment 

compensation; (9) government civilian 

employee or military retirement, or 

pensions or veterans payments; (10) 

private pensions or annuities; (11) 

alimony or child support payments; (12) 

regular contributions from persons not 

living in the household; (13) net 

royalties; and (14) other cash income. 

Other cash income would include cash 

amounts received or withdrawn from 

any source including savings, 

investments, trust accounts and other 

resources that would be available to pay 

the price of a child’s meal. 

‘‘Income,’’ as the term is used in this 

Notice, does not include any income or 

benefits received under any Federal 

programs that are excluded from 

consideration as income by any 

statutory prohibition. Furthermore, the 

value of meals or milk to children shall 

not be considered as income to their 

households for other benefit programs 

in accordance with the prohibitions in 

section 12(e) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act and section 

11(b) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 

(42 U.S.C. 1760(e) and 1780(b)). 

The Income Eligibility Guidelines 

The following are the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines to be effective 

from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. 

The Department’s guidelines for free 

meals and milk and reduced price meals 

were obtained by multiplying the year 

2009 Federal income poverty guidelines 

by 1.30 and 1.85, respectively, and by 

rounding the result upward to the next 

whole dollar. 

This Notice displays only the annual 

Federal poverty guidelines issued by the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services because the monthly and 

weekly Federal poverty guidelines are 

not used to determine the Income 

Eligibility Guidelines. The chart details 

the free and reduced price eligibility 

criteria for monthly income, income 

received twice monthly (24 payments 

per year), income received every two 

weeks (26 payments per year) and 

weekly income. 

Income calculations are made based 

on the following formulas: Monthly 

income is calculated by dividing the 

annual income by 12; twice monthly 

income is computed by dividing annual 

income by 24; income received every 

two weeks is calculated by dividing 

annual income by 26; and weekly 

income is computed by dividing annual 

income by 52. All numbers are rounded 

upward to the next whole dollar. The 

numbers reflected in this notice for a 

family of four in the 48 contiguous 

states, the District of Columbia, Guam 

and the territories represent an increase 

of 4.0% over last year’s level for a 

family of the same size.
