Food and Nutrition Service
Title: WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) Forms and
Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0447.
Summary of Collection: The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP)
is associated with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and was established by Congress in
1992. The FMNP is authorized by Section 17(m) of the Child Nutrition
Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786(m)), as amended. The FMNP was established
to provide fresh, nutritious, unprepared locally grown fruits and
vegetables from farmers' markets and roadside stands to WIC
participants; to expand the awareness and use of farmers' markets; and
to increase sales at such markets. Women, infants (over 4 months old)
and children that have been certified to receive WIC Program benefits
or who are on a waiting list for WIC certification are eligible to
participate in the WIC FMNP. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will
collect information from each state that receives a grant under the
FMNP program in conjunction with the preparation of annual financial
and recipient reports.
Need and Use of the Information: The respondents to this
information collection are FMNP State and local agencies (including
Indian Tribal Organizations, District of Columbia, and Territories),
participants, local agencies that are for-profit or non-profit
businesses, and FMNP authorized outlets (farmers, farmers' markets, and
roadside stands). The State and local agencies collect and maintain
information related to program operation and administration, while the
participants and FMNP authorized outlets provide the eligibility
information needed to participate in the program. Some of the
information requirements in this collection are mandatory, while others
are required to obtain or retain a benefit. FNS uses the information to
assess how each FMNP State agency operates; to ensure the
accountability of State agencies, local agencies, and farmers/farmers'
markets/roadside stands; to make program management decisions; and to
report to Congress as needed.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government;
Individuals or Households; Business or other-for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; and Farms.
Number of Respondents: 1,351,492.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually; Semi-
annually; Quarterly; and Other (every one to three years).
Total Burden Hours: 1,175,964.
