Fed Regist. 1998 Feb 24;63(36):9087-126.
This final rule amends the Child and Adult Care Food Program regulations governing reimbursement for meals served in family day care homes by incorporating changes resulting from the Department's review of comments received on a January 7, 1997, interim rule. These changes and clarifications involve: The appropriate use of school and census data for making tier I day care home determinations; documentation requirements for tier I classifications; tier II day care home options for reimbursement, including use of child care vouchers; calculating claiming percentages/blended rates using attendance and enrollment lists; and procedures for verifying household applications of children enrolled in day care homes. This final rule also amends the National School Lunch Program regulations to facilitate tier I day care home determinations by requiring school food authorities to provide elementary school attendance area information to sponsoring organizations. These revisions implement in final form the provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to target higher CACFP reimbursements to low-income children and providers.
本最终规则修订了《儿童与成人护理食品计划》中有关家庭日托所提供膳食报销的规定，纳入了因该部门对1997年1月7日暂行规则收到的评论进行审查而产生的变更。这些变更和澄清涉及：在确定一级日托所时学校和人口普查数据的适当使用；一级分类的文件要求；二级日托所报销选项，包括使用儿童保育券；使用出勤和注册名单计算申领百分比/混合费率；以及核实日托所注册儿童家庭申请的程序。本最终规则还修订了《国家学校午餐计划》规定，要求学校食品管理部门向主办组织提供小学出勤区域信息，以便利一级日托所的确定。这些修订最终落实了1996年《个人责任与工作机会协调法案》的规定，以便将更高的儿童与成人护理食品计划报销目标对准低收入儿童和提供者。
