ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice invites the general public and
other public agencies to comment on
this proposed information collection.
Each year the Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) prepares an analysis, The
Integrity Profile (TIP) Report, of WIC
State agency efforts to detect potential
fraud, waste and abuse committed by
their authorized food vendors and the
actions taken to remove vendors who
commit program violations. The
analysis presents data reported by 90
WIC State agencies, which includes 50
geographic State agencies, 34 Indian
Tribal Organization State agencies, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
Guam, American Samoa, the
Commonwealth of Northern Marianas,
and the Virgin Islands. State agencies
use a Web-based system to report this
information. The reporting burden is
comprised of three automated forms, the
FNS–698, FNS–699, and FNS–700. The
FNS–698 and FNS–699 are used to
report State agency summary data,
whereas the FNS–700 is used to capture
information on each authorized vendor.
The number of vendors authorized by
each State agency varies from State to
State.
Written comments must be
received on or before November 25,
2008.
DATES:
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the

of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions that
were used; (c) ways to enhance the
