          The Honorable Debbie Stabenow
          Chairwoman
          The Honorable Thad Cochran
          Ranking Member
          Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry

          The Honorable Frank D. Lucas
          Chairman

          Subject: Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service: Supplemental
                  Nutrition Assistance Program: Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention
                  Grant Program

          Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
          (FNS), entitled Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Nutrition Education and
          Obesity Prevention Grant Program (RIN: 0584-AE07). We received the rule on
          April 5, 2013. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim rule on April 5,
          2013. 78 Fed. Reg. 20,411.

          The interim rule implements section 28 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as
          added by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010,1 to award grants to states for
          provision of nutrition education and obesity prevention programs. These programs
          will provide services for eligible individuals that promote healthy food choices
          consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This interim rule
          informs state agencies of the requirements for awards under section 28 including the
          grant award process and describes the process for allocating the federal grant
          funds.
