While all WIC local agencies are required to implement policies and procedures to provide breastfeeding support and assistance throughout the prenatal and postpartum period, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) requires USDA to implement a program to recognize exemplary breastfeeding support practices at WIC local agencies and clinics. This program is expected to provide models and motivate other local agencies and clinics to strengthen their breastfeeding promotion and support activities. The HHFKA also authorizes the appropriation of funds for this local agency recognition program. USDA plans to begin recognizing exemplary agencies and clinics during fiscal year 2012. Awards may be monetary or non-monetary, based on the availability of funds. USDA will develop and implement this recognition program through careful consideration of information from existing recognition and incentive programs, key stakeholder input, and public comments to develop recognition award criteria and application procedures. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II. Key Issues on Which Public Comment is Requested In recognizing exemplary local agencies and clinics, the HHFKA requires that the Secretary consider: (1) Performance measurements of breastfeeding; (2) The effectiveness of a peer counselor program; (3) The extent to which the agency or clinic has partnered with other entities to build a supportive breastfeeding environment for women participating in WIC; and (4) Other criteria the Secretary considers appropriate after consultation with State and local program agencies. This notice serves as one means of consulting with State and local agencies and the general public. FNS would like comments on the criteria for the recognition, specifically: (1) What additional elements should FNS consider as a component of the selection criteria for this local agency recognition program? (2) What sources of data or information are available to support this recognition process? Dated: June 23, 2011. Audrey Rowe, Administrator, Food and Nutrition Service.
