2017-11-30; vol. 82 # 229 - Thursday, November 30, 2017 82 FR 56703 - Child Nutrition Programs: Flexibilities for Milk, Whole Grains, and Sodium Requirements
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Food and Nutrition Service Interim final rule. Effective Date: This interim final rule will become effective July 1, 2018. Comment Date: To be considered, written comments on this interim final rule must be received on or before January 29, 2018. 7 CFR Parts 210, 215, 220 and 226 Summary This interim final rule extends through school year 2018-2019 three menu planning flexibilities currently available to many Child Nutrition Program operators, giving them near-term certainty about Program requirements and more local control to serve nutritious and appealing meals to millions of children nationwide. These flexibilities include: Providing operators the option to offer flavored, low-fat (1 percent fat) milk in the Child Nutrition Programs; extending the State agencies' option to allow individual school food authorities to include grains that are not whole grain-rich in the weekly menu offered under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP); and retaining Sodium Target 1 in the NSLP and SBP. This interim final rule addresses significant challenges faced by local operators regarding milk, whole grains and sodium requirements and their impact on food development and reformulation, menu planning, and school food service procurement and contract decisions. The comments from the public on the long-term availability of these three flexibilities will help inform the development of a final rule, which is expected to be published in fall 2018 and implemented in school year 2019-2020.

GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Food and Nutrition Service Proposed rule; extension of comment period. The comment period for the proposed rule that was published on March 29, 2016 (81 FR 17564) has been extended from May 31, 2016 to July 7, 2016. To be assured of consideration, written comments must be postmarked on or before July 7, 2016. 7 CFR Parts 210, 215, 220, 225, 226, and 235 Summary This rule proposes to codify several provisions of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 affecting the integrity of the Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the Special Milk Program for Children, the School Breakfast Program, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and State Administrative Expense Funds.

In addition, this rulemaking would make several operational changes to improve oversight of an institution's financial management and would also include several technical corrections to the regulations.

The comment period is being extended until July 7, 2016, to provide additional time for interested parties to review and submit comments on this proposed rule.
2016-04-25; vol. 81 # 79 - Monday, April 25, 2016 81 FR 24348 - Child and Adult Care Food Program: Meal Pattern Revisions Related to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Food and Nutrition Service Final rule. Effective Date: This rule is effective June 24, 2016. Implementation Date: Compliance with the provisions of this rule must begin October 1, 2017, except as otherwise noted in the preamble under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION . 7 CFR Parts 210, 215, 220, and 226 Summary This final rule updates the meal pattern requirements for the Child and Adult Care Food Program to better align them with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. This rule requires centers and day care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program to serve more whole grains and a greater variety of vegetables and fruit, and reduces the amount of added sugars and solid fats in meals. In addition, this final rule supports mothers who breastfeed and improves consistency with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children and with other Child Nutrition Programs. Several of the changes are extended to the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Special Milk Program. These changes are based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, science-based recommendations made by the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies), cost and practical considerations, and stakeholder's input. This is the first major revision of the Child and Adult Care Food Program meal patterns since the Program's inception in 1968. These improvements to the meals served in the Child and Adult Care Food Program are expected to safeguard the health of young children by ensuring healthy eating habits are developed early, and improve the wellness of adult participants.

This rule also proposes to incorporate several changes to the application and renewal process which are expected to improve the management of CACFP and to make a number of miscellaneous technical changes.
