SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

: The Food

and Nutrition Service is extending the

public comment period on the interim

final rule ‘‘Establishing the Summer

EBT Program and Rural Non-Congregate

Option in the Summer Meal Programs’’,

which published on December 29, 2023,

at 88 FR 90230. The Consolidated

Appropriations Act, 2023 required the

Secretary of Agriculture to make

available an option to States to provide

summer meals for non-congregate meal

service in rural areas with no congregate

meal service and to establish a

permanent Summer Electronic Benefits

Transfer for Children Program (Summer

EBT) for the purpose of ensuring

continued access to food when school is

not in session for the summer. This

interim final rule amends the Summer

Food Service Program (SFSP) and the

National School Lunch Program’s

Seamless Summer Option (SSO)

regulations to codify the flexibility for

rural program operators to provide non-

congregate meal service in the SFSP and

SSO, collectively referred to as the

summer meal programs. This rule also

establishes regulations and codifies the

Summer EBT Program in the Code of

Federal Regulations.

This action extends the public

comment period to August 27, 2024, to

provide additional time for the public,

including State administering agencies,

Territories, and Indian Tribal

Organizations, as well as program

participants and beneficiaries, and other

stakeholders, to prepare and submit

comments. Because the interim final

rule became effective immediately upon

publication, stakeholders are already

taking active steps to implement its

provisions. Extending the comment

period ensures that these stakeholders

are able to provide robust feedback on

the entirety of the interim final rule’s

provisions, and that this feedback is

reflective of their implementation

experiences in advance of and during

Summer 2024. Receipt of informed

public input accounting for the first year

of operations under the new Program

rules will be vital when the Food and

Nutrition Service considers future

rulemaking to finalize the provisions of

the interim final rule.

Administrator, Food and Nutrition Service.
