Jkt 259001
The Food
and Nutrition Service is extending the
public comment period on the proposed
rule ‘‘Child Nutrition Programs:
Revisions to Meal Patterns Consistent
With the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans,’’ which published on
February 7, 2023, at 88 FR 8050. This
rulemaking proposes long-term school
nutrition standards based on the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, 2020–2025,
and feedback the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) received from child
nutrition program stakeholders during a
robust stakeholder engagement
campaign. This action extends the
public comment period to May 10, 2023,
to give the public additional time to
review the proposed rule. USDA is
proposing a gradual multi-year
approach to implementing the nutrition
standards. The proposed rule indicates
that USDA expects to issue a final rule
in time for schools to plan for school
year (SY) 2024–2025. However, the
proposed rule would not require
changes from current meal patterns to
take effect in SY 2024–2025. As
proposed, new requirements to the
school meal patterns would not begin
until SY 2025–2026, at the earliest.
USDA encourages public comments on
the proposed implementation timelines,
in addition to the proposed changes to
the child nutrition program’s regulatory
text.

Agricultural Marketing Service,
USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS) proposes to revise the
United States Standards for Soybeans by
removing soybeans of other colors
(SBOC) as an official factor. In addition,
AMS proposes to revise the table of
Grade Limits and Breakpoints for
Soybeans to reflect this change.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before May 1, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Barry Gomoll, USDA AMS; Telephone:

Standards for Soybeans are available at
https://www.regulations.gov. Copies of
the current Standards are available at
https://www.ams.usda/govgradesstandards/grain-standards.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed action, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
551 et seq., would amend regulations, at
7 CFR part 800 and part 810, issued
under the United States Grain Standards
Act (7 U.S.C. 71–87k), as amended
(USGSA). Section 4 of the USGSA (7
U.S.C. 76(a)) grants the Secretary of
Agriculture the authority to establish
standards for grain regarding kind, class,
quality, and condition.
SUMMARY:
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
AMS is issuing this proposed rule in
conformance with Executive Orders
12866 and 13563. Executive Orders
12866 and 13563 direct agencies to
assess all costs and benefits of available
regulatory alternatives and, if regulation
is necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits,
reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and
promoting flexibility. This proposed
action falls within a category of
