GAO reviewed the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) new rule on the certification of compliance with meal requirements for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. GAO found that (1) the final rule adopts, with some revisions, changes to the National School Lunch Program regulations, as set forth in the interim final rule published in the Federal Register on April 27, 2012. The changes conform to requirements contained in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) regarding performance-based cash assistance for school food authorities certified compliant with meal pattern and nutrition standards; and (2) FNS complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.
