‘‘(5) WAIVER OF REQUIREMENTS FOR WEIGHTED

NUTRIENT
ANALYSIS.—State edu-

or served as part of a meal offered or served under 
the school lunch program under this Act or the school 
breakfast program under section 4 of the Child Nutri-
tion Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1773) if—

alent system for conducting a nutrient analysis, 
subject to State agency approval; and 
‘‘(B) the equivalent system adequately docu-
ments the extent to which the school food author-
ity is meeting the Dietary Guidelines for Ameri-
cans and other nutrition standards. 
In addition, the Secretary may waive, on a case by 
case basis, the requirement for a State agency to use 
weighted averages when conducting a nutrient anal-
ysis as part of a review (of compliance with the Die-
tary Guidelines and other nutrition standards) of a 
school food authority not using nutrient standard 
menu planning, when, in the Secretary’s determina-
tion, an alternative analysis would yield results that 
would adequately measure a school food authority’s 
compliance with current nutrition standards for 
school meals.’’.

Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary shall promulgate rules, based on
