Summer Food Service Program; Correction
AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is correcting regulations
that published in a final rule in the Federal Register of September 19,
2022, and went into effect in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) on
October 1, 2022. The rule amended the Summer Food Service Program
(SFSP) regulations to strengthen program integrity by clarifying,
simplifying, and streamlining program administration to facilitate
compliance with program requirements.
DATES: Effective December 27, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule that appeared in the Federal
Register on September 19, 2022 (87 FR 57304), included non-substantive
revisions to the introductory text of 7 CFR 225.16(d) that made the
text consistent with other reverences in part 225 and used plain
language. In making this change, paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of Sec.
225.16 were inadvertently removed leaving only the introductory text of
Sec. 225.16(d). This document corrects that error and restores the
entirety of Sec. 225.16(d). To conform with current Federal Register
requirements, tables found in these restored paragraphs are revised to
include headings that note their citation in 7 CFR part 225.
In addition, the definition of ``documentation'' in Sec. 225.2 is
renumbered to reflect the correct paragraph structure requirements for
the Code of Federal Regulations. Finally, a separate, special
memorandum will be issued in the future to correct a formatting error
in table 1 to paragraph (e)(6)(iv) of Sec. 225.7.
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 225
Food assistance programs, Grant programs--health, Infants and
children, Labeling, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, for reasons stated in the preamble, FNS amends 7 CFR
part 225 by making the following technical corrections:
