30, 1996. These guidelines are used by

schools, institutions, and centers

participating in the National School

Lunch Program, School Breakfast

Children, Child and Adult Care Food

Program and Commodity School

required by section 9 of the National

Robert M. Eadie, Chief, Policy and

Program Development Branch, Child

Nutrition Division, FCS, USDA,

Alexandria, Virginia 22302, or by phone

at (702) 305–2618.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. In accordance

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507), no new

recordkeeping or reporting requirements

have been included that are subject to

approval from the Office of Management

and Budget. These programs are listed

in the Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance under No. 10.553, No.

10.555, No. 10.556 and No. 10.558 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 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)

of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42

U.S.C. 1772(a)(6) and 1773(e)), the

Department annually issues the Income

Eligibility Guidelines for free and

reduced price meals in the National

School Lunch Program (7 CFR part 210),

School Breakfast Program (7 CFR part

220), Child and Adult Care Food

Program (7 CFR part 226), and

Commodity School Program (7 CFR part

210), and the guidelines for free milk in

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 Department requires schools and

institutions which charge for meals

separately from other fees to service free

meals to all children from any

household with income at or below 130

percent of the poverty guidelines. The

Department also requires such schools

and institutions to serve reduced price

meals to all children from any

household with income higher than 130

percent of the poverty guidelines, but at

or below 185 percent of the poverty

guidelines. Schools and institutions

participating in the Special Milk

Program for Children may, at local

option, serve free milk to all children

from any household with income at or

below 130 percent of the Poverty

guidelines.

Definition of Income

‘‘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 selfemployment; (3) net income from farm

self-employment; (4) Social Security; (5)

bonds or income from estates or trusts;

(6) net rental income; (7) public

Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 8, 1995 / Notices 12733

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 which

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 which are excluded from

consideration as income by any

legislative 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 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, 1995 through June 30, 1996.

The Department’s guidelines for free

meals and milk and reduced price meals

were obtained by multiplying the 1995

Federal income poverty guidelines by

1.30 and 1.85, respectively, and by

rounding the result upward to the next

whole dollar. Weekly and monthly

guidelines were computed by dividing

annual income by 52 and 12,

respectively, and by rounding upward

to the next whole dollar.

Authority: (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)(1)).

Dated: March 3, 1995.

William E. Ludwig,

Administrator.
