Type of Request: Revision of the
Currently Approved Collection Form.
Abstract: State agencies administering
the Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants and
Children (WIC) are required by 7 CFR
246.12(j)(5) to submit to FNS an annual
summary of the results of their vendor
monitoring efforts in order to provide
Congress, senior FNS officials, as well
as the general public, assurance that
every reasonable effort is being made to
ensure integrity in the WIC Program.
Since 1989, WIC State agencies have
been required to submit such data
annually. FNS compiles the data to
produce a national report, which shows
the level of monitoring and
investigation conducted by WIC State
agencies to detect and eliminate, or
substantially reduce, vendor fraud and
abuse. Most State agencies download
the data from their automated system
and transmit it electronically to FNS.
Comments are being solicited on
integrating the TIP reporting system as
a subsystem of the Food Stamp Store
Tracking and Redemption System
(STARS). Comments are also being
solicited on the addition of the
following proposed data elements to the
TIP Data Entry Form (FNS–700) data
submission:
(1) Identification of vendors (i.e.,
retail stores) authorized that derive
more than 50 percent of their annual
food sales revenue from WIC food
instruments, and
(2) The number of months for which
redemption data is being reported. In
addition, the following data elements
are proposed for inclusion to the State
Agency Profile of Integrity Practices and
Procedures Report Form (FNS–698) data
submission regarding criteria used to
select vendors for authorization:
(1) A vendor must provide a variety
of foods other than WIC supplemental
foods;
(2) A vendor must obtain infant
formula only from the sources on the
State agency’s list of infant formula
wholesalers, distribution, and retailers,
licensed under State law/regulations
and manufacturers registered with the
Food and Drug Administration;
(3) A vendor must obtain prior
approval to provide incentive items to
WIC participants if the store derives
more than 50 percent of its annual food
sales revenue from WIC food
instruments; and
(4) A vendor must be authorized by
the Food Stamp Program. Most of these
proposed revisions are a result of
amendments made to seciton 17 ot the
Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C.
1786), as amended, by the Child
Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act

of 2004, Public Law 108–265 enacted
June 30, 2004. Lastly, comments are
sought on the inclusion of an EBT card
as an option in reporting the type of
food instrument used in the State
agency’s food delivery system.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 46.56 hours per
response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection
of information. The total annual burden
on respondents was previously 3,725
hours. This revision includes an
adjustment that adds one respondent,
which increases the total annual burden
by 46.56 hours, and program changes,
which increase the total annual burden
by about 372 hours, for a total annual
increase of 419 hours.
Respondents: Directors or
Administrators of WIC State agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 89
respondents.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: One.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 4,144 hours.
Dated: June 3, 2005.
