Highlights
A determination was requested concerning the propriety of amending the Department of Agriculture's regulations related to the States' liability in the Summer Food Program. Some States incurred expenses exceeding the 2 percent of funds allowed for administration. The statutory language expressly limits administrative expenses to 2 percent. Therefore, the Department of Agriculture could not amend its regulations to provide relief from liability.
