Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants, and
Children Breastfeeding Policy
Inventory.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–296, Sec. 305) mandates programs
under its authorization to cooperate
with U.S. Department of Agriculture
program research and evaluation
activities. The mandate applies to
Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) agencies. The Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) is requesting
approval to conduct the WIC Local
Agency Breastfeeding Policy and
Practice Inventory. WIC provides
supplemental foods, health care
referrals, and nutrition education to
nutritionally at-risk, low-income
pregnant women, new mothers, their
infants, and children up to age five.
Research has shown that there is no
better food than breast milk for a baby’s
first year of life. Breastfeeding provides
many health, nutritional, economic, and
emotional benefits to both mother and
baby. FNS will collect information using
a self-administered Web-based survey of
all State and local WIC agencies.
Need and use of the information: The
information collected from the survey
will obtain a census of (1) all measures
of breastfeeding that State and local WIC
agencies currently collect, including
their definitions and methods of
collection, as well as the most recent
values of those measures; (2) the data
system agencies use to store and process
breastfeeding data and the types of
information they report to other
agencies or external organizations; and
(3) breastfeeding policies and practices
at State and local WIC agencies. Without
the information FNS will not have a
comprehensive assessment of the types
of breastfeeding measures that State and
local WIC agencies collect, the range of
breastfeeding policies and practices
agencies offer, and the type of data
systems and reporting that agencies use
for breastfeeding data storage and
processing.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government; Not-forprofit institutions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kristy Beard or Joselyd Garcia-Reyes,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226).
The purpose of the proposed research
is to study: (1) Presence/absence of
marine mammals in U.S. Naval exercise,
proposed energy and construction areas;
(2) movement patterns of marine
mammal species most at risk; and (3)
population structure based on a variety
of parameters for marine mammals
occupying waters shared with the U.S.
Navy, renewable energy industry, and
pier-based industries requiring
construction activities. All species of
cetaceans and pinnipeds would be
harassed during vessel and aerial
surveys, including photo-identification.
Cetacean species would be harassed
during underwater photography.
Surveys would be conducted year-round
in all U.S. and international waters in
the Pacific Ocean (including Alaska,
Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii,
Guam, Marianas Islands, and other U.S.
territories) and Atlantic Ocean
(including the Gulf of Mexico, western
North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and
Sargasso Seas). The permit would be
valid for five years.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
