    (a) Purpose of the program. Section 2 of the National School Lunch 

Act (42 U.S.C. 1751), states: ``It is declared to be the policy of 

Congress, as a measure of national security, to safeguard the health and 

well-being of the Nation's children and to encourage the domestic 

consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities and other food, by 

assisting the States, through grants-in-aid and other means, in 

providing an adequate supply of food and other facilities for the 

establishment, maintenance, operation, and expansion of nonprofit school 

lunch programs.'' Pursuant to this act, the Department provides States 

with general and special cash assistance and donations of foods acquired 

by the Department to be used to assist schools in serving nutritious 

lunches to children each school day. In furtherance of Program 

objectives, participating schools shall serve lunches that are 

nutritionally adequate, as set forth in these regulations, and shall to 

the extent practicable, ensure that participating children gain a full 

understanding of the relationship between proper eating and good health.

    (b) Scope of the regulations. This part sets forth the requirements 

for participation in the National School Lunch and Commodity School 

Programs. It specifies Program responsibilities of State and local 

officials in the areas of program administration, preparation and 

service of nutritious lunches, payment of funds, use of program funds, 

program monitoring, and reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
