USDA/FNS RIN: 0584-AE88 Publication ID: Fall 2022 
Title: Child Nutrition Programs: Revisions to Meal Patterns Consistent With the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans 
Abstract:

This rule will propose long-term school nutrition standards based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025, and feedback from child nutrition program stakeholders. The proposed revisions are expected to make school meals more nutritious and more consistent with the goals of the most recent Dietary Guidelines, as required by statute. In addition, FNS is merging "Buy American Provision in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs" (0584-AE91),which was listed as a long-term rule on the Fall 2021 Regulatory Agenda, with this rule (0584-AE88). When developing this proposed rule, FNS will consider comments submitted in response to the February 2022 final rule, "Child Nutrition Programs: Transitional Standards for Milk, Whole Grains, and Sodium" (0584-AE81) . FNS will also consider comments submitted in response to the August 2021 "Request for Information: Buy American in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program," including feedback on how FNS can better support local schools as they strive to purchase domestic foods and food products.
