Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 29, 2011 / Notices
the previously established 2010
breastfeeding objectives.
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.

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?
