for Americans,'' which published in the Federal Register on February 7,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food and Nutrition Service is extending
the public comment period on the proposed rule ``Child Nutrition
Programs: Revisions to Meal Patterns Consistent With the 2020 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans,'' which published on February 7, 2023, at 88
FR 8050. This rulemaking proposes long-term school nutrition standards
based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025, and feedback
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) received from child nutrition
program stakeholders during a robust stakeholder engagement campaign.
This action extends the public comment period to May 10, 2023, to give
the public additional time to review the proposed rule. USDA is
proposing a gradual multi-year approach to implementing the nutrition
standards. The proposed rule indicates that USDA expects to issue a
final rule in time for schools to plan for school year (SY) 2024-2025.
However, the proposed rule would not require changes from current meal
patterns to take effect in SY 2024-2025. As proposed, new requirements
to the school meal patterns would not begin until SY 2025-2026, at the
earliest. USDA encourages public comments on the proposed
implementation timelines, in addition to the proposed changes to the
child nutrition program's regulatory text.

Administrator, Food and Nutrition Service.
