Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Waivers and State Plans (WiSP).
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: This is a new information collection for the
Waivers and State Plans (WiSP) application. WiSP will allow State
agencies to request Program waivers and submit State Plans to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), FNS
staff to manage data provided within the application, and covers the
gathering and maintenance of all supporting data from each State
agency. The Waivers and State Plans (WiSP) application will support the
following USDA programs and be available to all participating State
agencies in each program: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Woman, Infants, and Children (WIC); Farmers Market Nutrition Program
(FMNP); and Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP).
The purpose of (1) 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. The WIC program is authorized by the Child
Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966 (see Appendix A), as amended. WIC currently
operates through a Federal/State partnership in which USDA FNS provides
grants to State agencies in 50 U.S. States, 6 U.S. Territories, and 32
Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs). The WIC program requirements are
specified in Section 17 of the CNA and WIC regulations at 7 CFR part
246 (see Appendix B).
(2) FMNP is designed to provide fresh, unprepared, locally grown
fruits and vegetables to WIC participants and expand awareness, use of,
and sales at farmers markets. FMNP currently operates through a
Federal/State partnership in which FNS provides grants to State
agencies in 39 U.S. States, 3 U.S. Territories, and 8 ITOs. FMNP
requirements are specified in Section 17(m)(8) of the CNA and FMNP
regulations at 7 CFR part 248 (see Appendix C) and WIC Farmer's Market
Nutrition Act of 1992 (see Appendix D).
(3) SFMNP is designed to provide low-income seniors with access to
locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey, and herbs and support the
development of new and additional farmers markets, roadside stands, and
community supported agricultural programs. SFMNP currently operates
through a Federal/State partnership in which FNS provides grants in 45
U.S. States, 3 U.S. Territories, and 8 ITOs. SFMNP requirements are
specified in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, as
amended, (see Appendix E) and SFMNP regulations at 7 CFR part 249 (see
Appendix F).
Need and Use of the Information: State agencies are required to
submit State plans annually per the guidelines of the respective
programs, as an application or prerequisite to the receipt of federal
funds from FNS.
Each program has one or more designated checklists that cover
different program requirements. FMNP and SFMNP optionally allow for
some programs to be combined into a single, consolidated State plan
checklist. The new application will support each program's individual
checklists, and allowable, consolidated checklists.
