Sec.  250.10  Eligible distributing and subdistributing agencies.


    (a) State and Federal agencies. Federal agencies and such State 
agencies as are designated by the Governor of the State, or by the State 
legislature, and approved by the Secretary are eligible to become 
distributing agencies.
    (b) Private agencies. Where distributing agencies are not permitted 
by law to make distribution to private recipient agencies, or to any 
class of private recipient agency, private agencies which agree to make 
distribution of donated food on a State-wide basis and which apply 
directly to FNS, and are approved by the Secretary are eligible to 
become distributing agencies.
    (c) Subdistributing agencies. If distributing agencies use 
subdistributing agencies to distribute donated foods, the distributing 
agencies' responsibilities to the Department for overall management and 
control of the distribution program shall not be delegated to such 
subdistributing agencies.
