January 5, 2022.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by February 
9, 2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this information collection by 
selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' 
or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study-2 (WIC ITFPS-
2): Year 9 Extension.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0580.
    Summary of Collection: The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 
(Pub. L. 111-296, Sec. 305) mandates programs under its authorization, 
including WIC, to cooperate with USDA program research and evaluation 
activities. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) WIC ITFPS-2 
provides information on the feeding practices of children who received 
WIC benefits, from birth up to 6 years of age. The proposed data 
collection will extend the longitudinal data collection of the current 
cohort of study participants for one more interview at nine years of 
age, four years after the end of their eligibility for WIC services. 
This proposed extension is needed to understand the nutrition, health 
outcomes, and family feeding practices of school-aged children in the 
period after WIC program eligibility ends.
    Need and use of the Information: The results will assist in the 
development of appropriate and effective prevention strategies to 
improve the health of young children. With nearly 45 percent of U.S. 
infants participating in WIC, it is hoped that prevention strategies 
implemented in WIC will have a substantial impact on the growth and 
health of U.S. infants and children.
    The data will be used to estimate the type and prevalence of 
various feeding practices among children who received WIC program 
benefits, after their program eligibility ends.
    This study will also examine the circumstances and influences that 
shape caregivers' feeding decisions for their children, and will 
describe the impact of childhood WIC participation on subsequent 
dietary and health outcomes. In addition, the study will examine if 
those who left the longitudinal study are fundamentally different from 
those who remain in the study.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals/Households, State, Local, 
or Tribal government, and Profit/Non-profit Business.
    Number of Respondents: 3,555.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Once, On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 5,627.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
