Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is the Federal
agency responsible for managing the domestic nutrition assistance
programs. Its mission is to increase food security and reduce hunger in
partnership with cooperating organizations by providing children and
low-income people access to food, a healthful diet, and nutrition
education in a manner that supports American agriculture and inspires
public confidence. The domestic nutrition assistance programs include
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Child
Nutrition programs such as the National School Lunch (NSLP) and School
Breakfast Programs (SBP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Commodity Supplemental Food Program
(CSFP), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), The
Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), and the Senior Farmers'
Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). Currently, the nutrition assistance
programs managed by FNS touch the lives of 1 in 4 Americans over the
course of a year.
Federal nutrition assistance programs operate as partnerships
between FNS, State, Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs), and local
organizations that interact directly with program participants. States
and ITOs voluntarily enter into agreements with the Federal Government
to operate programs according to Federal standards in exchange for
program funds that cover all benefit costs, and a significant portion
of administrative expenses. Under these agreements, FNS is responsible
for implementing statutory requirements that set national program
standards for eligibility and benefits, providing Federal funding to
States, ITOs and local partners, and monitoring and evaluation to make
sure that program structures and policies are properly implemented and
effective in meeting program missions. States, ITOs and local
organizations are responsible for delivering benefits efficiently,
effectively, and in a manner consistent with national requirements.
States and ITOs may operate all or some of the 15 different domestic
nutrition assistance programs.
The FNS is consolidating certain programmatic and financial data
reporting requirements that are currently approved by the Office of
Management and Budget, under the Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS),
an electronic reporting system. The purpose is to give States and ITO
agencies one portal for the various reporting required for the programs
that the States and ITOs operate. The data collected is used for a
variety of purposes; mainly program evaluation, planning, audits,
funding, research, regulatory compliance and general statistics.
