Sec. 215.3  Administration.

    (a) Within the Department, FNS shall act on behalf of the Department 
in the administration of the Program. Within FNS, CND shall be 
responsible for Program administration.
    (b) Within the States, to the extent practicable and permissible 
under State law, responsibility for the administration of the Program in 
schools and child-care institutions shall be in the educational agency 
of the State: Provided, however, That another State agency, upon request 
by the Governor or other appropriate State executive or legislative 
authority, may be approved to administer the Program in schools as 
defined in Sec. 215.2(v)(3) or Sec. 215.2(v)(4) or in child-care 
institutions.
    (c) FNSRO shall administer the Program in any school as defined in 
Sec. 215.2(v)(1), Sec. 215.2(v)(2) or Sec. 215.2(v)(3) or in any child-
care institution as defined in Sec. 215.2(e) wherein the State agency is 
not permitted by law to disburse Federal funds paid to it under the 
Program; Provided, however, That FNSRO shall also administer the Program 
in all other schools and child-care institutions which have been under 
continuous FNS administration since October 1, 1980 unless the 
administration of such schools and institutions is assumed by a State 
agency. References in this part to ``FNSRO where applicable'' are to 
FNSRO as the agency administering the Program to schools or child-care 
institutions within certain States.
    (d) Each State agency desiring to take part in the Program shall 
enter into a written agreement with the Department for the 
administration of the Program in the State in accordance with the 
provisions of this part. Such agreement shall cover the operation of the 
Program during the period specified therein and may be extended at the 
option of the Department.
