    (a) Purpose. This part provides a program whereby the Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) and private processors of food may enter into 

agreements under which the processor will process and distribute 

designated donated food to eligible recipient agencies. The intent of 

the program is to encourage private industry, acting in cooperation with 

the States and FNS, to develop new markets in which donated food may be 

utilized. It is expected that the processors will use their marketing 

abilities to encourage eligible recipient agencies to participate in the 

program. Additionally, recipient agencies will benefit by being able to 

purchase processed end products at a substantially reduced price.

    (b) Scope. The terms and conditions set forth in this part are those 

under which processors may enter into agreements with FNS for the 

processing of commodities designated by the Secretary of Agriculture and 

the minimum requirements which NCP processors must meet. Also prescribed 

are distributing agency and recipient agency responsibilities.

    (c) Eligible recipient agencies. Recipient agencies shall be 

eligible to participate in the NCP Program to the extent of their 

eligibility to receive the food involved in the NCP Program, pursuant to 

Sec. 250.8 and part 251.
