SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS) published a
final rule in the Federal Register, 81 FR

jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
meal pattern requirements for the Child
and Adult Care Food Program and
extended several of the changes to the
National School Lunch Program, School
Breakfast Program, and Special Milk
Program. The final rule included
typographical errors in 7 CFR
210.10(a)(1)(i), 220.8(a)(1), 220.8(o)(1),
and 220.8(p)(1), the incorrect
information for the serving size of
yogurt in the infant meal pattern that
appears in 7 CFR 210.10(q)(2),
220.8(p)(2), 226.20(b)(4)(ii)(A) and
226.20(b)(5), and a technical error for
offer versus serve in 7 CFR 226.20(o). In
addition, FNS is correcting the breakfast
cereal sugar limit. The final rule
provided a sugar limit of no more than
6 grams of sugar per dry ounce (no more
than 21 grams sucrose and other sugars
per 100 grams of dry cereal). The intent
of that limit was to be consistent with
the Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Woman, Infants, and
Children (WIC). However, due to
rounding, the breakfast cereal sugar
limit in the final rule that appears in 7
CFR 210.10(o)(3)(ii), 210.10(o)(4)(ii),
210.10(p)(2), 220.8(o)(2), 226.20(a)(4)(ii),
226.20(b)(5), and 226.20(c)(1) through
226.20(c)(3) is inconsistent with WIC’s
breakfast cereal sugar limit of no more
21.2 grams of sucrose and other sugars
per 100 grams of dry cereal. This
correction amends the breakfast cereal
sugar limit to align with WIC’s breakfast
cereal sugar limit and corrects the other
errors described above. Note that the
Special Milk Program regulations at 7
CFR part 215 were amended in the final
rule, but no technical corrections are
necessary in this amendment.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains technical corrections to the final rule
published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2016, ``Child and Adult
Care Food Program: Meal Pattern Revisions Related to the Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.''
DATES: This document is effective November 1, 2016. Compliance with the
provisions of this rule must begin October 1, 2017 except as otherwise
noted in the final rule.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrea Farmer or Laura Carroll, Policy
and Program Development Division, Child Nutrition Programs, Food and
Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 3101 Park Center
Drive, Room 1206, Alexandria, Virginia 22302-1594; 703-305-2590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
published a final rule in the Federal Register, 81 FR 24348, on April
25, 2016, to update the meal pattern requirements for the Child and
Adult Care Food Program and extended several of the changes to the
National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Special
Milk Program. The final rule included typographical errors in 7 CFR
210.10(a)(1)(i), 220.8(a)(1), 220.8(o)(1), and 220.8(p)(1), the
incorrect information for the serving size of yogurt in the infant meal
pattern that appears in 7 CFR 210.10(q)(2), 220.8(p)(2),
226.20(b)(4)(ii)(A) and 226.20(b)(5), and a technical error for offer
versus serve in 7 CFR 226.20(o). In addition, FNS is correcting the
breakfast cereal sugar limit. The final rule provided a sugar limit of
no more than 6 grams of sugar per dry ounce (no more than 21 grams
sucrose and other sugars per 100 grams of dry cereal). The intent of
that limit was to be consistent with the Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Woman, Infants, and Children (WIC). However, due to
rounding, the breakfast cereal sugar limit in the final rule that
appears in 7 CFR 210.10(o)(3)(ii), 210.10(o)(4)(ii), 210.10(p)(2),
220.8(o)(2), 226.20(a)(4)(ii), 226.20(b)(5), and 226.20(c)(1) through
226.20(c)(3) is inconsistent with WIC's breakfast cereal sugar limit of
no more 21.2 grams of sucrose and other sugars per 100 grams of dry
cereal. This correction amends the breakfast cereal sugar limit to
align with WIC's breakfast cereal sugar limit and corrects the other
errors described above. Note that the Special Milk Program regulations
at 7 CFR part 215 were amended in the final rule, but no technical
corrections are necessary in this amendment.
