SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 27, 1995 the Department published at 60 FR 49807, a
proposed rule to remove the specifications for cheese alternate
products from the National School Lunch Program. That rule provided for
a public comment period to run through November 13, 1995. Comments were
expected from both the institutions currently utilizing the cheese
alternate products as well as the manufacturers of the cheese
alternates. A national trade organization requested an extension of the
comment period. The Department believes that any additional comments
would be beneficial in developing a final rule in this area.
Accordingly, the Department is reopening the public comment period
found in the September 27, 1995 regulations through December 27, 1995.
Dated: November 14, 1995.
William E. Ludwig,
Administrator, Food and Consumer Services.
