EFFECTIVE DATE: April 18, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Flexibility Act

This action is not a rule as defined by

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.

601–612) and thus is exempt from the

provisions of that Act.

Paperwork Reduction Act

This notice does not contain reporting

or recordkeeping requirements subject

to approval by the Office of

Management and Budget in accordance

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507).

Executive Order 12372

This program is listed in the Catalog

of Federal Domestic Assistance

Programs under No. 10.565 and is

subject to the provisions of Executive

Order 12372, which requires

intergovernmental consultation with

State and local officials (7 CFR part

3015, subpart V, 48 FR 29112).

Description

The Food Security Act of 1985 (Pub.

L. 99–198) amended section 5 of the

Agriculture and Consumer Protection

Act of 1973 (7 U.S.C. 612c note) to

require that the Secretary permit

agencies administering the CSFP to

serve low-income elderly persons if

such service can be provided without

reducing service levels for women,

infants, and children. The law also

mandates establishment of income

eligibility requirements for elderly

participation. Prior to enactment of Pub.

L. 99–198, elderly participation was

restricted by law to three designated

pilot projects which served the elderly

in accordance with agreements with the

Department.

To implement the CSFP mandates of

Pub. L. 99–198, the Department

published an interim rule on September

17, 1986 at 51 FR 32895 and a final rule

on February 18, 1988, at 53 FR 4831.

These regulations defined ‘‘elderly

persons’’ as those who are 60 years of

age or older (7 CFR 247.2). The final

rule further stipulates that elderly

persons certified on or after September

17, 1986 must have ‘‘household income

at or below 130 percent of the Federal

Poverty Income Guidelines published

annually by the Department of Health

and Human Services.’’ (7 CFR

247.7(a)(3)).

The Federal Poverty Income

Guidelines are revised annually to

reflect changes in the Consumer Price

Index. The revision for 2000 was

published by the Department of Health

and Human Services in the Federal

Register on February 15, 2000 at 65 FR

7555. To establish income limits of 130

percent, the guidelines were multiplied

by 1.30 and the results rounded up to

the next whole dollar.

At this time, the Department is

publishing the income limits of 130

percent of the poverty income

guidelines. The table in this notice

contains the income limits by

household size to be used for elderly

certification in the CSFP. In past years,

we have made the revised guidelines

effective from July 1 to the following

June 30, to conform to the effective

period used in USDA child nutrition

programs. Beginning this year, we are

making the guidelines effective on the

date that they are published in the

Federal Register in order to diminish

the time gap between CSFP adjustments

and cost-of-living adjustments in Social

Security benefits, which are made in

January each year. These guidelines will

remain in effect until publication of a

notice with revised guidelines in 2001.
