GAO             United States
                General Accounting Office
                Washington, D.C. 20548

                Office of the General Counsel


                B-279357



                March 11, 1998

                The Honorable Richard G. Lugar
                Chairman
                The Honorable Tom Harkin
                Ranking Minority Member
                Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry

                The Honorable William F. Goodling
                Chairman
                The Honorable William Clay
                Ranking Minority Member

                House of Representatives

                Subject: Department of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Service: Child Nutrition
                          and WIC Reauthorization Act Amendments

                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 Consumer
                Service, entitled Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act Amendments (RIN:
                0584-AC20). We received the rule on February 18, 1998. It was published in the
                Federal Register as an interim rule on February 26, 1998. 63 Fed. Reg. 9721.

                The interim rule amends the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to: (1)
                make administrative funds available to help eligible sponsoring organizations of
                family day care homes expand participation in CACFP in low-income and rural
                areas; (2) allow sponsors to use administrative funds to assist unlicensed day care
                homes in obtaining licensing; and (3) grant federally funded income-eligible Head
                Start children automatic eligibility for free CACFP meals, without further
                application or eligibility information. The rule implements changes required by the
                Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-147) and the
                Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-448).
