SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is proposing to issue 

permits for the release of the insect 

Ganaspis brasiliensis in the continental 

United States for the biological control 

of spotted-wing Drosophila (Drosophila 

suzukii). The action is proposed to 

reduce the severity of damage to small 

fruit crops from infestations of spottedwing Drosophila (SWD) in the 

continental United States. 

SWD is native to East Asia. It was first 

detected in California, Italy, and Spain 

in 2008. It has since established in most 

fruit-growing regions in North America. 

SWD lays eggs inside ripening fruits. 

Feeding by SWD larvae results in the 

degradation of fruits, and the 

puncturing of the fruit skin may also 

provide a gateway for secondary 

bacterial and fungal infections. 

Permitting the release of the G–1 

lineage of Ganaspis brasiliensis is 

necessary to reduce SWD populations in 

non-crop habitats. This would reduce 

the number of SWD that migrate into 

susceptible crops and would thereby 

improve the effectiveness of other SWD 

control tools. Introducing and 

establishing this larval parasitoid will 

uniquely contribute to suppression of 

SWD because it attacks fly maggots 

inside the fruit (while most pesticides 

target only adult flies, and only two 

pupal parasitoids readily attack SWD). 

Classical biological control is a 

potentially useful management strategy 

for an invasive pest species whenever 

effective resident natural enemies are 

lacking in the new distribution range. 

APHIS’ review and analysis of the 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed release are 

documented in detail in an 

environmental assessment (EA) titled 

‘‘Field Release of Ganaspis brasiliensis 

(Hymenoptera: Figitidae) for Biological 

Control of Spotted-wing Drosophila, 

Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: 

Drosophilidae), in the Continental 

United States’’ (January 2021). Based on 

our findings in the EA, we are proposing 

to issue permits for the release of the 

insect Ganaspis brasiliensis (G–1 

lineage) as a biological control agent to 

reduce SWD infestations. We are 

making the EA available to the public 

for review and comment. We will 

consider all comments that we receive 

on or before the date listed under the 

heading DATES at the beginning of this 

notice. 

The EA may be viewed on the 

regulations.gov website or in our 

reading room (see ADDRESSES above for 

a link to regulations.gov and 

information on the location and hours of 

the reading room). You may also request 

paper copies of the EA by calling or 

writing to the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Please 

refer to the title of the EA when 

requesting copies. 

The EA has been prepared in 

accordance with: (1) The National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on 

Environmental Quality for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), (3)

Food and Nutrition Service 

National School Lunch, Special Milk, 

and School Breakfast Programs, 

National Average Payments/Maximum 

Reimbursement Rates 

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

annual adjustments to the national 

average payments, the amount of money 

the Federal Government provides States 

for lunches, afterschool snacks, and 

breakfasts served to children 

participating in the National School 

Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; 

to the maximum reimbursement rates, 

the maximum per lunch rate from 

Federal funds that a State can provide 

a school food authority for lunches 

served to children participating in the 

National School Lunch Program; and to 

the rate of reimbursement for a half-pint 

of milk served to non-needy children in 

a school or institution that participates 

in the Special Milk Program for 

Children. The annual payments and 

rates adjustments for the National 

School Lunch and School Breakfast 

Programs reflect changes in the Food 

Away From Home series of the 

Consumer Price Index for All Urban 

Consumers. The annual rate adjustment 

for the Special Milk Program reflects 

changes in the Producer Price Index for 

Fluid Milk Products. Further 

adjustments are made to these rates to 

reflect higher costs of providing meals 

in Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, 

and the Virgin Islands. The payments 

and rates are prescribed on an annual 

basis each July. Overall, reimbursement 

rates this year for the National School 

Lunch, Breakfast Programs and the 

Special Milk Program either remained 

the same or increased compared to last 

year. 

Special Note: For the school year 

beginning July 1, 2021 and ending June 

30, 2022, school food authorities 

operating the National School Lunch 

Program Seamless Summer Option 

under Food and Nutrition Serviceissued nationwide waivers #85 

(Nationwide Waiver to Allow the 

Seamless Summer Option through 

School Year 2021–2022) and #86 

(Nationwide Waiver to Allow Summer 

Food Service Program Reimbursement 

Rates in School Year 2021–2022) may 

receive the reimbursement rates 

prescribed for the Summer Food Service 

Program (85 FR 86901) in lieu of the 

reimbursement rates established in this 

notice. The Summer Food Service 

Program reimbursement rates made 

available to these school food 

authorities will similarly be updated 

effective January 1, 2022 through a 

future notice published in the Federal 

Register. 

DATES: These rates are effective from 

July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Special Milk Program for Children— 

Pursuant to section 3 of the Child 

Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 

U.S.C. 1772), the Department announces 

the rate of reimbursement for a half-pint 

of milk served to non-needy children in 

a school or institution that participates 

in the Special Milk Program for 

Children. This rate is adjusted annually 

to reflect changes in the Producer Price 

Index for Fluid Milk Products, 

published by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics of the Department of Labor. 

National School Lunch and School 

Breakfast Programs—Pursuant to 

sections 11 and 17A of the Richard B. 

Russell National School Lunch Act, (42 

U.S.C. 1759a and 1766a), and section 4 

of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 

U.S.C. 1773), the Department annually 

announces the adjustments to the 

National Average Payment Factors and 

to the maximum Federal reimbursement 

rates for lunches and afterschool snacks 

served to children participating in the 

National School Lunch Program and 

breakfasts served to children 

participating in the School Breakfast 

Program. Adjustments are prescribed 

each July 1, based on changes in the 

Food Away From Home series of the 

Consumer Price Index for All Urban 

Consumers, published by the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics of the Department of 

Labor. 

Lunch Payment Levels—Section 4 of 

the Richard B. Russell National School 

Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1753) provides 

general cash for food assistance 

payments to States to assist schools in 

purchasing food. The Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act provides 

two different section 4 payment levels 

for lunches served under the National 

School Lunch Program. The lower 

payment level applies to lunches served 

by school food authorities in which less 

than 60 percent of the lunches served in 

the school lunch program during the 

second preceding school year were 

served free or at a reduced price. The 

higher payment level applies to lunches 

served by school food authorities in 

which 60 percent or more of the lunches 

served during the second preceding 

school year were served free or at a 

reduced price. 

To supplement these section 4 

payments, section 11 of the Richard B. 

Russell National School Lunch Act (42 

U.S.C. 1759 (a)) provides special cash 

assistance payments to aid schools in 

providing free and reduced price 

lunches. The section 11 National 

Average Payment Factor for each 

reduced price lunch served is set at 40 

cents less than the factor for each free 

lunch. 

As authorized under sections 8 and 11 

of the Richard B. Russell National 

School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1757 and 

1759a), maximum reimbursement rates 

for each type of lunch are prescribed by 

the Department in this Notice. These 

maximum rates are to ensure equitable 

disbursement of Federal funds to school 

food authorities. 

Performance-Based Reimbursement— 

In addition to the funding mentioned 

above, school food authorities certified 

as meeting the meal pattern and 

nutrition standard requirements set 

forth in 7 CFR parts 210 and 220 are 

eligible to receive performance-based 

cash assistance for each reimbursable 

lunch served (an additional seven cents 

per lunch available beginning July 1, 

2019, and adjusted annually thereafter). 

Afterschool Snack Payments in 

Afterschool Care Programs—Section 

17A of the Richard B. Russell National 

School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1766a) 

establishes National Average Payments 

for free, reduced price and paid 

afterschool snacks as part of the 

National School Lunch Program. 

Breakfast Payment Factors—Section 4 

of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 

U.S.C. 1773) establishes National 

Average Payment Factors for free, 

reduced price, and paid breakfasts 

served under the School Breakfast 

Program and additional payments for 

free and reduced price breakfasts served 

in schools determined to be in ‘‘severe 

need’’ because they serve a high 

percentage of needy children. 

Adjusted Payments 

The following specific section 4, 

section 11, and section 17A National 

Average Payment Factors and maximum 

reimbursement rates for lunch, the 

afterschool snack rates, and the 

breakfast rates are in effect from July 1, 

2021 through June 30, 2022. Due to a 

higher cost of living, the average 

payments and maximum 

reimbursements for Alaska, Guam, 

Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin 

Islands are higher than those for all 

other States. The District of Columbia 

uses figures specified for the contiguous 

States. These rates do not include the 

value of USDA Foods or cash-in-lieu of 

USDA Foods which schools receive as 

additional assistance for each meal 

served to participants under the 

Program. A notice announcing the value 

of USDA Foods and cash-in-lieu of 

USDA Foods is published separately in 

the Federal Register. 

Adjustments to the national average 

payment rates for all lunches served 

under the National School Lunch 

Program, breakfasts served under the 

School Breakfast Program, and 

afterschool snacks served under the 

National School Lunch Program are 

rounded down to the nearest whole 

cent. 

Special Milk Program Payments 

For the period July 1, 2021 through 

June 30, 2022, the rate of reimbursement 

for a half-pint of milk served to a nonneedy child in a school or institution 

that participates in the Special Milk 

Program is 22.00 cents reflecting an 

increase of 1.75 cents from the School 

Year (SY) 2020–2021 level. This change 

is based on the 9.44 percent increase in 

the Producer Price Index for Fluid Milk 

Products from May 2020 to May 2021. 

As a reminder, schools or institutions 

with pricing programs that elect to serve 

milk free to eligible children continue to 

receive the average cost of a half-pint of 

milk (the total cost of all milk purchased 

during the claim period divided by the 

total number of purchased half-pints) 

for each half-pint served to an eligible 

child. 

National School Lunch Program 

Payments 

Overall, payments for the National 

School Lunch Program and the 

Afterschool Snack Program either 

remained the same or increased from 

last year’s payments due to a 4.04 

percent increase in the national average 

payment rates for schools and 

residential child care institutions for the 

period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 

2022 in the Consumer Price Index for 

All Urban Consumers for the food away 

from home series during the 12-month 

period May 2020 to May 2021 (from a 

level of 291.709 in May 2020, as 

previously published in the Federal 

Register to 303.481 in May 2021). 

These changes are reflected below.
