Title: National Survey of WIC
Participants II.
OMB Number: Not yet assigned.
Expiration Date: To be determined.
Type of Request: New collection of
information.
Abstract: In accordance with the
Improper Payments Information Act of
2002 (Public Law No. 107–300), which
seeks to improve the integrity of the
government’s payments and the
efficiency of programs and activities,
ADDRESSES:
including the Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants,
and Children (WIC), FNS is seeking to
carry out a Second National Survey of
WIC Participants (NSWP II). Ten years
have elapsed since the first NSWP
survey was conducted. That study
provided national estimates of the case
error rate and dollar error for the WIC
program. It also collected demographic
information about WIC participants and
their families. The NSWP II study seeks
to: (1) Estimate the annual cost of
erroneous payments in the WIC program
by examining erroneous payments
caused by WIC certification error among
applicants; and (2) provide information
on the policies, procedures, operations,
and staff of WIC State agencies and
explore the characteristics and
experiences of WIC applicants and
participants. In addition, the study will
develop a model for updating estimates
of erroneous payments due to
certification error in the WIC program
that will allow the Food and Nutrition
Service to calculate erroneous payments
for the next 10 years before the next
major NSWP study.
Affected Public: State WIC Agency
officials, Local WIC Agency directors
and WIC participants.
Proposed Collection: State WIC
Agency Survey: Public burden is
estimated at 66 minutes for one
response each with a total of 99 hours
for 90 respondents.
Local WIC Agency Survey: Public
burden is estimated at 40 minutes for
one response each with a total of 334
hours for 500 respondents.
WIC Participants Data Collection
(telephone interview only): Public
burden is estimated at 24 minutes for
one response each with a total of 480
hours for 1200 respondents.
