SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 13, 1995, the Department published a final rule
incorporating provisions from proposals published on June 10, 1994, and
January 27, 1995. The final rule implemented provisions of Public Law
103-448, 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. In
addition, the final rule contained provisions to streamline the
administration of the school meal programs. However, the final rule, as
published, contained errors in the regulatory text that need
correction.
