Menu Systems; Correction

AGENCY: Food and Consumer Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Consumer Service is correcting errors in the 
preamble and in the regulatory text to the proposed rule published on 
January 27, 1995, (60 FR 5513) entitled National School Lunch Program 
and School Breakfast Program: Compliance with the Dietary Guidelines 
for Americans and Food-Based Menu Systems.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert M. Eadie, Chief, Policy and 
Program Development Branch, Child Nutrition Division, Food and Consumer 
Service, USDA, 3101 Park Center Drive, Alexandria, Virginia, 22302; by 
telephone at 703-305-2620.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 27, 1995, the Department published a proposed rule to 
implement provisions of the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 
1994, requiring that a variety of meal planning approaches be made 
available to school food authorities, including ``food-based menu 
systems,'' and that school meals comply with the Dietary Guidelines for 
Americans, as the Department also proposed on that date. However, the 
proposed rule as published contains errors in the preamble and 
regulatory text that need correction. In addition, readers should note 
that a portion of Appendix A-Regulatory Cost/Benefit Assessment: Food-
Based Menu Systems, reflects an early draft of the proposal. The 
discussion of burden was based on a provision that contained 
recordkeeping/reporting requirements that the Department subsequently 
decided not to propose.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on January 27, 1995, is corrected as 
follows:
    1. On page 5517, first column, in the first paragraph under the 
heading ``Grains/Breads'', the third to last sentence is corrected to 
read ``For children in grades 7 through 12, the number of servings 
would be increased from 8 (10 recommended) to 15 per week.''
    2. On page 5518, in the second column, in line 11 of the first full 
paragraph, the reference to ``June 10, 1995,'' is corrected to read 
``June 10, 1994.''


Sec. 220.8  [Corrected]

    3. On page 5521, in the chart entitled ``Minimum Quantities:''
    a. in the column entitled ``Ages 1-2,'' the reference in the second 
line to ``\1/2\ ounce plus'' is removed;
    b. in the column entitled ``Preschool,'' the reference in the 
second line to ``\1/2\ ounce plus'' is removed;
    c. in the column entitled ``Grades K-12,'' the reference in the 
second line to ``1 ounce plus'' is removed;
    d. in the column entitled ``Grades 7-12,'' the reference in the 
second line to ``2 ounces plus'' is removed, the reference to ``(4 
ounces)'' in line 9 is corrected to read ``(2 ounces),'' and the word 
``ounce'' in line 10 is corrected to read ``serving.''

    Dated: February 16, 1995.

Administrator, Food and Consumer Service.
