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 which 

participates in the Special Milk Program 

for Children. The payments and rates 

are prescribed on an annual basis each 

July. 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. 

DATES: These rates are effective from 

July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

William Wagoner, Section Chief, School 

Programs Section, Policy and Program 

Development Branch, Child Nutrition 

Division, Food and Nutrition Service, 

USDA, 3101 Park Center Drive, Room 

640, Alexandria, VA 22302 or phone 

(703) 305–2590. 

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. 

For the period July 1, 2009 through 

June 30, 2010, the rate of reimbursement 

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

which participates in the Special Milk 

Program is 16.00 cents. This reflects a 

decrease of 12.67 percent in the 

Producer Price Index for Fluid Milk 

Products from May 2008 to May 2009 

(from a level of 199.7 in May 2008 as 

previously published in the Federal 

Register to 174.4 in May 2009). 

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 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. The changes in the national 

average payment rates for schools and 

residential child care institutions for the 

period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 

2010 reflect a 4.232 percent increase in 

the Consumer Price Index for All Urban 

Consumers during the 12-month period 

May 2008 to May 2009 (from a level of 

213.967 in May 2008 as previously 

published in the Federal Register to 

223.023 in May 2009). 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. 

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. 

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.

Notice of Proposed New Fee Site; 

Federal Lands Recreation 

Enhancement Act 

AGENCY: Humboldt-Toiyabe National 

Forest, USDA Forest Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Humboldt-Toiyabe 

National Forest is proposing to charge a 

$10.00 fee at Bob Scott Campground. 

Fees are assessed based on the level of 

amenities and services provided, cost of 

operations and maintenance, market 

assessment and public comment. The 

fee is proposed and will be determined 

upon further analysis and public 

comment. Funds from fees would be 

used for the continued operation, 

maintenance and improvements of this 

campground. 

Amenities provided at Bob Scott 

campground include drinking water, 

flush toilets, garbage service, and sites 

with tables, grills and fire-rings. The 

proposed fee will allow continued 

operation and upkeep of these 

amenities, correction of sanitation and 

safety issues, repair and replacement of 

facilities when necessary, and generally 

improved conditions at the 

campground. Finally, these actions 

would improve the recreation 

experience. 

An analysis of the campground shows 

that the proposed fees are reasonable 

and typical of similar sites in the area. 

DATES: Comments will be accepted 

through November 13th 2009. New fees 

would begin May 2010.

Supervisor, Humboldt-Toiyabe National

Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed 

the Secretary of Agriculture to publish 

a six-month advance notice in the 

Federal Register whenever new 

recreation fee areas are established. 

Once public involvement is complete, 

these new fees will be reviewed by a 

Recreation Resource Advisory 

Committee prior to a final decision and 

implementation.
