Title: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants,
and Children (WIC) Program Regulations--Reporting and Record-Keeping
Burden.
Form Number: N/A.
OMB Number: 0584-0043.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2023.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The purpose of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program
for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is to provide supplemental
foods, nutrition education, and health care referrals to low income,
nutritionally at-risk pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women,
infants, and children up to age five. Currently, WIC operates through
State health departments in 50 States, 33 Indian Tribal Organizations,
American Samoa, District of Columbia, Guam, Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The
Federal regulations governing the WIC Program (7 CFR part 246) require
that certain program-related information be collected and that full and
complete records concerning WIC operations are maintained. The
information reporting and record-keeping burdens are necessary to
ensure appropriate and efficient management of the WIC program.
The reporting and record-keeping burdens covered by this
information collection include requirements that involve the
certification of WIC participants; the nutrition education that is
provided to participants; the processing of sanctions, complaints, and
appeals; the household requirement to pick up food instruments and CVVs
outside of scheduled recertification and nutrition education clinic
visits; the authorization, training and monitoring of vendors; and the
collection of vendor pricing information in order to comply with the
Federal regulations regarding WIC cost containment. State Plans are the
principal source of information about how each State agency operates
its WIC Program. Information collected from participants and local
agencies is collected through State-developed forms or Management
Information Systems. The information collected is used by the
Department of Agriculture to manage, plan, evaluate, make decisions,
and report on WIC program operations. This information collection is
requesting a revision in the burden hours due to program changes and
adjustments that primarily reflect the inclusion of programmatic
requirements that are being included in this ICR for the first time and
expected changes in the number of WIC participants; WIC authorized
vendors; and WIC State and local agencies. The revisions increased the
approved reporting burden by
[[Page 21963]]
11,381,356 hours; decreased the total approved record-keeping burden by
244,302 hours; and increase the total approved public disclosure burden
by 15 hours.
