-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Due to a technical problem with the docket that prevented

appeared in the Federal Register on June 6, 2025. The rule rescinds an
unnecessary reporting requirement for the school meals application
verification process.
DATES: The comment period for the rule published June 6, 2025, at 90 FR

2025.

portal at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> and should reference the document
number and the date and page number of this issue of the Federal
Register. FNS strongly prefers comments to be submitted electronically.
However, written comments may be submitted (i.e., postmarked) via mail
to Docket No. FNS-2025-0008, FNS, USDA, 1320 Braddock Place,
Alexandria, VA 22314. All comments submitted in response to this notice

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James C. Miller, Administrator, Food
and Nutrition Service, at (703) 305-2060, or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#773d161a1204593a1e1b1b1205370204131659101801"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="054f646860762b486c6969607745707661642b626a73">[email protected]</span></a> with
a subject line of ``RIN 0584-AF08''.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6, 2025, at 90 FR 24049, FNS
published in the Federal Register an interim final rule entitled
``National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program:
Elimination of the State Ameliorative Action Reporting Requirement for
School Meals Eligibility Verification.''
The interim final rule provided for a 30-day comment period, which
would have ended July 7, 2025. However, on or about July 1, FNS learned
that the public comments were not being accepted to the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
FNS informed staff at the Federal eRulemaking Portal and the issue
has been resolved. Nevertheless, given the uncertainty regarding the
time that the Portal was not operational, FNS has determined that a
thirty-day reopening of the comment period, to September 8, 2025, is
appropriate. This reopening will allow interested persons who may have
tried unsuccessfully to submit comments additional time to do so.
James C. Miller,
Administrator.
