The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of USDA administers the WIC Program by awarding cash grants to State agencies (generally State health departments). The State agencies award sub-grants to local agencies (generally local health departments and nonprofit organizations) to deliver program benefits and services to eligible participants. As part of their State Plan submission, State agencies identify the local agencies that will provide WIC services.

New local agencies may be selected to operate the WIC Program and local agencies already in operation may be disqualified for continued operation. FNS will collect information using form FNS–648 to report additions and deletions of local agencies operating the WIC Program and local agency address changes, when such changes occur. Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information to maintain a local agency directory that lists the names and addresses of all WIC local agencies. The FNS–648 WIC local agency directory serves as the primary source of data on the number and location of local agencies and is published annually. It is used to refer individuals to the nearest source of WIC Program services and to maintain continuity of program services to migrant and other transient participants. It is also used as a mailing list to provide local agencies with technical assistance manuals and other information. Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Transfer of Farm Records Between Counties. OMB Control Number: 0560–0253. Type of Request: Extension with a revision. Abstract: Farm owners or operators may elect to transfer farm records between FSA county offices when the principal dwelling of the farm operator has changed; a change has occurred in the operation of the land; or there has been a change that would cause the receiving administrative county office to be more accessible, such as the construction of a new highway, relocation of the county office building site, etc. The transfer of farm records is also required when an FSA county office closes. The FSA County Committees from both the transferring and receiving counties must approve or disapprove all proposed farm record transfers. In some cases, the State Committee and/or the National Office must also approve or disapprove proposed farm record transfers. The revision is due to the reduction in number of FSA County Offices. FSA currently has 2,140 county offices, whereas there were 2,300 county offices at the time of the previous request. The SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1
