MATTER OF: Hassidic Corporation for Urban Concerns      q9333


DIGEST:

       Nonprofit institution may be reimbursed for interest
       cost incurred in financing its participation in Special
       Food Service Program for Children since applicable
       regulations and contract do not specifically preclude
       reimbursement. Matter is returned to agency to deter-
       mine extent of expenditures incurred.


     ''.Counsel for Hassidic Corporation for Urban Concerns
 (Hassidic Corporation) has claimed the sum of $48,811.61,
 representing interest charges paid by the claimant in financ-
 ing its participation in the Special Summer Food Service Pro-
 gram for Children administered by the Food and Nutrition
 Service of the Department of Agriculture.

       The Special Summer Food Service Program for Children was
 authorized by the National School Lunch Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1761
 (1970) which provides for the Secretary of Agriculture to
 assist states through grants-in-aid and other means to carry
 out nonprofit food service programs for children in service
 institutions.  Paragraph (a)(1) of 42 U.S.C. § 1761 defines
 service institutions as private, nonprofit or public institu-
 tions which provide child care for children from areas in
 which poor economic conditions exist and where there are high
 concentrations of working mothers. The term also includes
 public or private nonprofit institutions that develop special
 summer programs providing food services similar to that avail-
 able to children under the National School Lunch or School
 Breakfast Programs during the school year. 42 U.S.C. § 1761
 (a)(2).. Hassidic Corporation is a private nonprofit corpora-
 tion which had developed a food service program similar to
 that provided under the National School Lunch Act.

       Paragraph (a) of 42 U.S.C. § 1761 provides for direct
  disbursement of funds to service institutions by the Secretary
  of Agriculture. It appears that Agriculture contracted
  directly with Hassidic Corporation under authority of the above
  cited statute.
