This direct final rule amends geographic preference option language in National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program for Children, Child and Adult Care Program, and Summer Food Service Program regulations. The changes are customer- focused and intended to simplify program regulations and make them easier to understand. They do not change the meaning of the regulations or their implementation.
