                   Subpart B_State Agency Eligibility
 
Sec.  249.5  Selection of new State agencies.

    In selecting new State agencies, FNS will use objective criteria to 
rank and approve State plans submitted in accordance with Sec.  249.4. 
In making this ranking, FNS will consider the amount of funds necessary 
to operate the SFMNP successfully in the State compared with other 
States and with the total amount of funds available to the SFMNP, the 
number of participants estimated to be served, and the projected benefit 
level. Approval of a State Plan does not equate to an obligation on the 
part of FNS to fund the SFMNP within that State.
