Sec. 272.9  Approval of homeless meal providers.

    The State food stamp agency, or another appropriate State or local 
governmental agency identified by the State food stamp agency, shall 
approve establishments serving the homeless upon sufficient evidence, as 
determined by the agency, that the establishment does in fact serve 
meals to homeless persons. Where the State food stamp agency identifies 
another appropriate State or local agency for the purpose of approving 
establishments serving the homeless, the State food stamp agency will 
remain responsible for insuring that the provisions of the preceding 
sentence are effectively carried out. The State food stamp agency, or 
another appropriate State or local governmental agency identified by the 
State food stamp agency or private nonprofit organization under contract 
with the State food stamp agency shall execute contracts with 
restaurants wishing to sell meals in exchange for food stamp benefits to 
homeless food stamp households. Such contracts shall specify that such 
meals are to be sold at ``concessional'' (low or reduced) prices and 
shall also specify the approximate prices which will be charged, or the 
amount and type of price reduction.
