# Meal Requirements for Breakfast
**AGENCY:**
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), USDA.
**ACTION:**
Final rule; technical corrections.
**SUMMARY:**
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is correcting a final rule with request for comments that appeared in the *Federal Register* on February 7, 2022 and went into effect in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) on July 1, 2022. The rule established Child Nutrition Program transitional standards for milk, whole grains, and sodium for school years 2022-23 and 2023-24.
**DATE:**
Effective August 25, 2022, and applicable beginning July 1, 2022.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**
Tina Namian, Director, School Meals Policy Division—4th Floor, Food and Nutrition Service, 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314; telephone: 703-305-2590.
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The final rule that appeared in the *Federal Register* on February 7, 2022, had several typographical errors included in both the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program meal pattern charts which were corrected on August 3, 2022. The corrected breakfast meal pattern chart from the August 3rd correction introduced one additional typographical error found at 7 CFR 220.8(c), in the row labeled, “Grains (oz eq) <sup>d</sup> ” under the heading, “Grades 9-12” where the *minimum per day* in parenthesis was printed as, “2” when it should have been printed as, “1”. The August 3, 2022, correction also inadvertently removed the heading from the table in the introductory text of paragraph in 7 CFR 210.10. This document corrects both errors.
