SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 27, 1995 the Department published at 60 FR 49807, a 
proposed rule to remove the specifications for cheese alternate 
products from the National School Lunch Program. That rule provided for 
a public comment period to run through November 13, 1995. Comments were 
expected from both the institutions currently utilizing the cheese 
alternate products as well as the manufacturers of the cheese 
alternates. A national trade organization requested an extension of the 
comment period. The Department believes that any additional comments 
would be beneficial in developing a final rule in this area. 
Accordingly, the Department is reopening the public comment period 
found in the September 27, 1995 regulations through December 27, 1995.

    Dated: November 14, 1995.
William E. Ludwig,
Administrator, Food and Consumer Services.
