Title 7 › Chapter CHAPTER 26— - AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER III— - COMMODITY BENEFITS › § 612c–6
“Section 32” means 7 U.S.C. 612c. Money from Section 32 that is more than a yearly cap must be sent to the Secretary of Agriculture, through the Food and Nutrition Service, to support the National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act, except for the parts specifically left out (section 21 of the Lunch Act; sections 17 and 21 of the Child Nutrition Act). The yearly cap is: FY2009 $1,173,000,000; FY2010 $1,199,000,000; FY2011 $1,215,000,000; FY2012 $1,231,000,000; FY2013 $1,248,000,000; FY2014 $1,266,000,000; FY2015 $1,284,000,000; FY2016 $1,303,000,000; FY2017 $1,322,000,000; and for FY2018 and later the prior year’s amount adjusted by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the 12 months ending the previous November 30. Transfers from Section 32 to the Department of Commerce under the Fish and Wildlife Act also count in this calculation. From the Section 32 amounts counted under the cap, the Secretary must send the specific sums called for by section 19(i) for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Also, $4,000,000 from those amounts must be used for section 1755a of title 42 for fiscal year 2009. Money used this way must add to, not replace, other federal funding for the National School Lunch Act (except section 19), the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983, and section 2036 of this title.
