Food and Nutrition Service
Title: WIC Local Agency Directory.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0431.
Summary of Collection: The Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is authorized by Section 17 of the
Child Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786), as amended. The
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of USDA administers the WIC Program by
awarding cash grants to State agencies (generally State health
departments). The State agencies award sub-grants to local agencies
(generally local health departments and nonprofit organizations) to
deliver program benefits and services to eligible participants. Local
agencies authorized to furnish WIC participants with supplemental
foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion and support
activities and referral to related health services are subject to
change. New local agencies may be selected to operate the WIC Program
and local agencies already in operation may be disqualified for
continued operation. FNS will collect information using form FNS-648 to
report additions and deletions of local agencies operating the WIC
Program and local agency address changes, when such changes occur.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information to
maintain a local agency directory that lists the names and addresses of
all WIC local agencies. The WIC local agency directory serves as the
primary source of data on the number and location of local agencies and
is published annually. It is used to refer individuals to the nearest
source of WIC Program services and to maintain continuity of program
services to migrant and other transient participants. It is also used
as a mailing list to provide local agencies with technical assistance
manuals and other information.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 90.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 15.
