When an investigation has been completed, information on disclosures made may continue to be exempted if the fact that an investigation occurred remains sensitive after completion. (b) From subsection (d) (Access and Amendment to Records) because access to the records contained in this system of records could inform the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation to the existence of that investigation and reveal investigative interest on the part of DHS or another agency. Access to the records could permit the individual who is the subject of a record to impede the investigation, to tamper with witnesses or evidence, and to avoid detection or apprehension. Amendment of the records could interfere with ongoing investigations and law enforcement activities and would impose an unreasonable administrative burden by requiring investigations to be continually reinvestigated. In addition, permitting access and amendment to such information could disclose security-sensitive information that could be detrimental to homeland security. (c) From subsection (e)(1) (Relevancy and Necessity of Information) because in the course of investigations into potential violations of Federal law, the accuracy of information obtained or introduced occasionally may be unclear, or the information may not be strictly relevant or necessary to a specific investigation. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is appropriate to retain all information that may aid in establishing patterns of unlawful activity. (d) From subsection (e)(2) (Collection of Information from Individuals) because requiring that information be collected from the subject of an investigation would alert the subject to the nature or existence of the investigation, thereby interfering with that investigation and related law enforcement activities. (e) From subsection (e)(3) (Notice to Subjects) because providing such detailed information could impede law enforcement by compromising the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants. (f) From subsections (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I) (Agency Requirements) and (f) (Agency Rules), because portions of this system are exempt from the individual access provisions of subsection (d) for the reasons noted above, and therefore DHS is not required to establish requirements, rules, or procedures with respect to such access. Providing notice to individuals with respect to existence of records pertaining to them in the system of records or otherwise setting up procedures pursuant to which individuals may access and view records pertaining to themselves in the system would undermine investigative efforts and reveal the identities of witnesses, and potential witnesses, and confidential informants. (g) From subsection (e)(5) (Collection of Information) because with the collection of VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:00 Jan 26, 2022 Jkt 256001 information for law enforcement purposes, it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. Compliance with subsection (e)(5) would preclude DHS agents from using their investigative training and exercise of good judgment to both conduct and report on investigations. (h) From subsection (e)(8) (Notice on Individuals) because compliance would interfere with DHS’s ability to obtain, serve, and issue subpoenas, warrants, and other law enforcement mechanisms that may be filed under seal and could result in disclosure of investigative techniques, procedures, and evidence. (j) From subsection (g)(1) (Civil Remedies) to the extent that the system is exempt from other specific subsections of the Privacy Act. * * * * * Lynn P.

ACTION: Correcting amendments. AGENCY: On October 18, 2021, the Food and Nutrition Service revised rules concerning meal pattern tables for the National School Lunch Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The document contained incorrect table entries. This document corrects the final regulations. DATES: Effective January 27, 2022 and applicable beginning October 1, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alice McKenney, Branch Chief, Child Nutrition Division, 703–305–2590. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a correcting amendment to the Food and Nutrition Service’s (FNS’s) technical amendments published October 18, 2021 (86 FR 57544). The technical amendments inadvertently omitted a distinct value for ready-to-eat cereal requirements in two of the tables and misprinted the amount of yogurt required in one of the tables. This amendment also corrects a typographical error related to the SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 amount of milk required in one of the tables. Prior to the technical amendment published on October 18, 2021, both infant cereal and ready-to-eat breakfast cereal requirements were presented in tablespoons; 0–4 tablespoons of either type of cereal were required for infants when cereal was served as a snack. In Table 6 to 7 CFR 210.10(o)(4)(ii) for Infant Snack Meal Pattern and Table 1 to 7 CFR 226.20(b)(5) for Infant Meal Patterns, the correct conversion of 0–4 tablespoons of ready-to-eat breakfast cereal to ounces is 0 to 1⁄4 ounce equivalents, not 0 to 1⁄2 ounce equivalents as was erroneously printed in the October 18, 2021, amendment. In Table 4 to 7 CFR 226.20(c)(3) for Child and Adult Care Food Program Snack, four of the columns (Ages 1–2, 3–5, 6– 12, and 13–18) included misprints for yogurt amounts; ‘‘2 ounces or 1⁄2 cup’’ is being corrected to ‘‘2 ounces or 1⁄4 cup’’ and ‘‘4 ounces or 3⁄4 cup’’ is being corrected to ‘‘4 ounces or 1⁄2 cup’’. In the same table, the amount of milk for ages 3–5 is being corrected from 6 fluid ounces to 4 fluid ounces. The reference to 6 fluid ounces was an error when converting 1⁄2 cup to fluid ounces in the Child Nutrition Programs: Flexibilities for Milk, Whole Grains, and Sodium Requirements (83 FR 63775 (Dec. 12, 2018)) which inadvertently carried forward into the October 18, 2021, technical correction.

The Model MK27–2 UA uses battery-powered electric motors for vertical takeoff, landing, and forward flight. The UAS operations would rely on high levels of automation and may include multiple UA operated by a single pilot, up to a ratio of 20 UA to 1 pilot. Amazon anticipates operators will use the Model MK27–2 for delivering packages. The proposed concept of operations (CONOPS) for the Model MK27–2 identifies a maximum operating altitude of 400 feet above ground level (AGL), a maximum cruise speed of 60 knots, operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) of the pilot, and operations over human beings. Amazon has not requested type certification for flight into known icing conditions for the Model MK27–2.

CACFP Meal Pattern Revisions Related to the Healthy, Hunger-Free 
Kids Act of 2010; Correcting Amendments

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), Department of Agriculture 
(USDA).

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 18, 2021, the Food and Nutrition Service revised 
rules concerning meal pattern tables for the National School Lunch 
Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The document 
contained incorrect table entries. This document corrects the final 
regulations.

DATES: Effective January 27, 2022 and applicable beginning October 1, 
2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alice McKenney, Branch Chief, Child 
Nutrition Division, 703-305-2590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a correcting amendment to the Food 
and Nutrition Service's (FNS's) technical amendments published October 
18, 2021 (86 FR 57544). The technical amendments inadvertently omitted 
a distinct value for ready-to-eat cereal requirements in two of the 
tables and misprinted the amount of yogurt required in one of the 
tables. This amendment also corrects a typographical error related to 
the amount of milk required in one of the tables. Prior to the 
technical amendment published on October 18, 2021, both infant cereal 
and ready-to-eat breakfast cereal requirements were presented in 
tablespoons; 0-4 tablespoons of either type of cereal were required for 
infants when cereal was served as a snack. In Table 6 to 7 CFR 
210.10(o)(4)(ii) for Infant Snack Meal Pattern and Table 1 to 7 CFR 
226.20(b)(5) for Infant Meal Patterns, the correct conversion of 0-4 
tablespoons of ready-to-eat breakfast cereal to ounces is 0 to \1/4\ 
ounce equivalents, not 0 to \1/2\ ounce equivalents as was erroneously 
printed in the October 18, 2021, amendment. In Table 4 to 7 CFR 
226.20(c)(3) for Child and Adult Care Food Program Snack, four of the 
columns (Ages 1-2, 3-5, 6-12, and 13-18) included misprints for yogurt 
amounts; ``2 ounces or \1/2\ cup'' is being corrected to ``2 ounces or 
\1/4\ cup'' and ``4 ounces or \3/4\ cup'' is being corrected to ``4 
ounces or \1/2\ cup''. In the same table, the amount of milk for ages 
3-5 is being corrected from 6 fluid ounces to 4 fluid ounces. The 
reference to 6 fluid ounces was an error when converting \1/2\ cup to 
fluid ounces in the Child Nutrition Programs: Flexibilities for Milk, 
Whole Grains, and Sodium Requirements (83 FR 63775 (Dec. 12, 2018)) 
which inadvertently carried forward into the October 18, 2021,
