ACTION: Technical amendments.
AGENCY:
On October 1, 2021, the
requirement to credit grains served in
the Child and Adult Care Food Program
(CACFP) in ‘‘ounce equivalents’’ was
implemented. This action also applied
to the crediting of grains served to
infants and toddlers in the National
School Lunch and School Breakfast
Programs. This document corrects the
final regulations to align meal pattern
tables and corresponding endnotes with
regulatory requirements.
DATES: Effective October 18, 2021 and
applicable on October 1, 2021.

On August
30, 2021 (86 FR 48295), the DNFSB
published a direct final rule amending
its regulations in part 1704 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations
implementing the Government in the
Sunshine Act. The Sunshine Act
generally requires Board meetings to be
open to public observation unless
certain exemptions apply. The NDAA
added a provision to the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954 (AEA) that permits the
Board to hold nonpublic collaborative
discussions without following the
requirements of the Sunshine Act, so
long as certain requirements are met.
The Board published this direct final
rule to revise the Board’s Sunshine Act
regulations consistent with the new
AEA provisions for nonpublic
collaborative discussions.
In the direct final rule, the DNFSB
stated that if no significant adverse
comments were received, the direct
final rule would become effective on

CACFP Meal Pattern Revisions Related to the Healthy, Hunger-Free
Kids Act of 2010; Technical Amendments
AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), USDA.
ACTION: Technical amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On October 1, 2021, the requirement to credit grains served in
the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) in ``ounce equivalents''
was implemented. This action also applied to the crediting of grains
served to infants and toddlers in the National School Lunch and School
Breakfast Programs. This document corrects the final regulations to
align meal pattern tables and corresponding endnotes with regulatory
requirements.
DATES: Effective October 18, 2021 and applicable on October 1, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alice McKenney, Branch Chief, Child
Nutrition Division, 703-305-2590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of technical amendments to

Implementation of Grains Ounce Equivalents in the Child and Adult Care
Food Program, published September 25, 2019 (84 FR 50287), which allowed
a two-year delay of crediting of grains by ounce equivalents, until
October 1, 2021. FNS is making changes to update the infant meal
pattern tables and endnotes at 7 CFR 210.10(o), 210.10(q), 220.8(p),
and 226.20(c); preschool meal pattern tables and endnotes at 7 CFR
210.10(o), 210.10(p), and 220.8(o); and meal pattern tables, text and
endnotes for infants, children and adult participants at 7 CFR
226.20(c). These changes are consistent with regulatory requirements
implemented as of October 1, 2021.
