  <title><![CDATA[  Food Stamp Program: High Performance Bonuses ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-17-03-31031</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This rulemaking proposes to amend Food Stamp Program (FSP) 
regulations to implement provisions of section 4120 of the Farm 
Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA). This section 
authorizes the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to award bonuses to 
States that demonstrate high or improved performance in administering 
the FSP. This rule proposes performance measures for these bonuses for 
fiscal year (FY) 2005 and beyond. It also proposes the data that will 
be used to measure the identified performance. The performance bonuses 
are meant to act as an incentive for State agencies to improve or 
maintain high performance in administering the FSP.
