Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants,
and Children WIC) Program and WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program
(FMNP) Waivers
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: USDA has legislative authority to grant
waivers to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC) and WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program
(FMNP) State agencies. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA; Pub.
L. 117-2) grants temporary waiver authority to WIC and WIC FMNP for the
purpose of outreach, modernization, and innovation and The Access to
Baby Formula Act of 2022 (ABFA; Pub. L. 117-129) grants permanent
waiver authority to WIC during certain emergencies and supply chain
disruptions. This information collection request covers activities
associated with the waiver request process.
Need and Use of the Information: ARPA waivers are intended to
provide flexibility to WIC and WIC FMNP State agencies as they carry
out outreach, innovation, and program modernization efforts. In
coordination with ARPA-funded projects, FNS anticipates that WIC and
WIC FMNP State agencies will request waivers that will allow them to
implement the grant-funded projects. Additionally, FNS anticipates that
WIC and WIC FMNP State agencies will be interested in testing
modernization projects that will not require funding, such as extending
WIC certification periods to align household certification periods. FNS
will offer three types of waivers to State agencies under ARPA's
authority: (1) waivers requiring additional information, (2)
accelerated waivers, and (3) ad hoc waivers.
Description of Respondents: State and Tribal government. Respondent
groups include WIC and WIC FMNP State agencies (including Indian Tribal
Organizations and U.S. Territories).
Number of Respondents: 140.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 831.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
