    This part announces the regulations under which the Secretary of 
Agriculture will carry out the Child and Adult Care Food Program. 
Section 17 of the National School Lunch Act, as amended, authorizes 
assistance to States through grants-in-aid and other means to initiate, 
maintain, and expand nonprofit food service programs for children or 
adult participants in nonresidential institutions which provide care. 
The Program is intended to enable such institutions to integrate a 
nutritious food service with organized care services for enrolled 
participants. Payments will be made to State agencies or FNS Regional 
Offices to enable them to reimburse institutions for food service to 
enrolled participants.
