Title: The Loving Support Award of
Excellence.
OMB Control Number: 0584—NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kid Act of 2010 (HHFKA)
(Pub. L. 111–296, Sec 231) which
requires the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) to implement a
program to recognize exemplary
breastfeeding support practices at
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
local agencies and clinics. The WIC
program provides breastfeeding
promotion and support for pregnant and
postpartum mothers as a part of its
mission to improve the health of the
approximately 9 million Americans it
serves each month. The WIC program
has achieved many accomplishments in
promoting, encouraging and supporting
breastfeeding as the preferred feeding
method for all infants. The HHFKA
requires the USDA to annually compile
and publish breastfeeding performance
measurements. The collection and
publication of breastfeeding
performance measurements is one of
several provisions in the HHFKA that
strengthens the WIC Program’s
emphasis on breastfeeding promotion
and support and underscores the
importance of exclusive, continued
breastfeeding to the health of WIC
participants. This reporting requirement
provides an exciting opportunity to help
further the efforts of WIC State and local
agencies by highlighting agencies that
demonstrate success in breastfeeding
through high breastfeeding rates and by
motivating other agencies to strengthen
their breastfeeding promotion and
support services with the goal of
increasing their breastfeeding rates. The
breastfeeding performance
measurements will be used in the
process to determine awardees for the
top two level awards.
Need and Use of the Information: The
award application period is open one
time, annually, and has been designed
to allow local WIC agencies at different
stages of progress in breastfeeding
promotion and support program
development to apply for an award.
Agencies may apply for a recognition
award for their level of efforts and
success one year, continue to develop
their local programs, and then apply for
a higher level award in a following year
when further success is achieved. The
information collection will strengthen
the breastfeeding promotion and
support efforts of local WIC agencies by
recognizing exemplary activities as well
as provide models to assist and motivate
other local WIC agencies and clinics to

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Issuance Reconciliation Report,
FNS–46.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0080.
Summary of Collection: Section 7(d)
of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008,
as amended, (the Act) (7 U.S.C. 2016(d))
and Regulations at 7 CFR 274.4(a) and
274.4(b)(2), requires State agencies to
report on their Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit
issuance operations not less than
monthly. Section 11(a) of the Act (7
U.S.C. 2020(a)) requires State agencies
to assume responsibility for the
issuance, control, and accountability of
SNAP benefits. The Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS), administers the SNAP in
cooperation with State and local
governments. FNS regulations require
State agencies to account for all
issuance through a reconciliation
process and to submit a report on this
process using Form FNS–46, Issuance
Reconciliation Report.
Need and Use of the Information: The
FNS–46 report is a program
management report which is used on an
ongoing basis to document the
reconciliation process by which State
agencies compare all issuances,
including Disaster SNAP (D–SNAP)
benefits made during the month to the
record for issuance. The record-forissuance is then compared with the
master issuance file. Findings from this
comparison are reported on the Form
FNS–46. The data from the FNS–46
report is also used for reports to
Congress, to establish State issuance
liabilities, and to determine national
performance measures for Quality
Control.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 54.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Monthly.
