Russell National School Lunch Act. The serious deficiency process provides a systematic way for State agencies and sponsoring organizations to correct serious management problems, and when that effort fails, protect Child Nutrition Program integrity through due process. In response to public comments received on a prior rulemaking, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) proposes improvements to ensure that application of the serious deficiency process is fair and fully implemented. FNS proposes to add clarity to the serious deficiency process by defining key terms, establishing a timeline for full correction, and establishing criteria for determining when the serious deficiency process must be implemented. This rulemaking will also address termination for cause and disqualification, implementation of legal requirements for records maintained on individuals on the National Disqualified List, and participation of multi-State sponsoring organizations.","document_number":"2024-02108","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/02/21/2024-02108/serious-deficiency-process-in-the-child-and-adult-care-food-program-and-summer-food-service-program","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-02-21/pdf/2024-02108.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-02108.pdf?1708436713","publication_date":"2024-02-21","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Food and Nutrition Service","name":"Food and Nutrition Service","id":200,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/food-and-nutrition-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/200","parent_id":12,"slug":"food-and-nutrition-service"}],"excerpts":"related to the <span class=\"match\">serious</span> deficiency process, FNS decided to pursue a separate rulemaking in order to consider improvements to the <span class=\"match\">serious</span> deficiency process before extending <span class=\"match\">serious</span> deficiency, termination, and disqualification procedures to SFSP.\n \n To better serve administering agencies and program operators, this proposed rule is intended to make the application of the <span class=\"match\">serious</span> deficiency process for CACFP and SFSP consistent, effective and in line with current statutory <span class=\"match\">requirements</span>.
