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. The
information will be submitted
voluntarily by WIC local agencies who
will be applying for an award. FNS will
use the information collected to
evaluate the components of existing
breastfeeding programs and support in
WIC local agencies and make decisions
about awards. This program is expected
to provide models and motivate other
local agencies and clinics to strengthen
their breastfeeding promotion and
support activities. Applications will be
submitted online.
Affected Public: State, Local,
Territories and Tribal Government.
Respondent groups identified include
the WIC local agencies who are applying
for the award and the WIC State
agencies who evaluate the applications.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of
participants is 453: 363 local WIC
agencies and 90 State WIC agencies.
A recent FNS study on WIC
Breastfeeding Peer Counseling found
that approximately two thirds of the
local WIC agencies operate a ‘‘Loving
Support Program.’’ The Loving Support
Program is an FNS initiative that equips
WIC programs with an implementation
and management model—the ‘‘Loving
Support Model’’—that serves as a
framework for designing, building, and
sustaining peer counseling programs; a
requirement for award eligibility. Based
on the findings of the study, it is
estimated that approximately 1,210 of
the 1,834 WIC local agencies will be
eligible to apply for an award. Although
the number of local agencies operating
a Loving Support Program has
increased, an average of only 16.4% of
eligible respondents have applied over
the past two years. In Fiscal Year (FY)
2014, 77 out of 607 eligible local
agencies applied for an award (12.7%)
and in FY 2015, 123 out of 607 eligible
local agencies applied for an award
(20.3%). Therefore, unlike the previous
information collection request, the
estimated number of respondents for
local agency applications will not
assume all eligible local WIC agencies
will apply for an award. To better reflect
the estimated number of respondents for
subsequent years, FNS estimates that
30% (363) of eligible local agencies will
respond annually. This reduces the total
number of burden hours for the local
WIC agencies from 1,214 to 907.5 hours.
The estimated number of respondents
for the State agency application
evaluation is derived from the total
number of State WIC agencies.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: The estimated number of
responses per respondent for the WIC
local agency is one, as each eligible WIC
local agency will submit one
application. The estimated number of
responses per respondent for the WIC
State agency is 4.03, as each WIC State
agency will evaluate approximately four

applications annually. The estimated
number of responses per respondent for
the WIC State agency application
evaluation was derived by dividing the
total number of respondents for the WIC
local agency applications, 363, by the
total number of WIC State agencies, 90.
FNS estimates that the overall responses
per respondent for the entire collection
is 1.60, which was derived by dividing
the number of total annual responses
725.7, by the estimated number of
respondents, 453.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
725.7.
Estimated Time per Response: FNS
estimates the WIC local agency
application response is 2.5 hours, and
the WIC State agency response is 1.5
hours. The overall response for the
entire collection is 2.0 hours, which was
derived by dividing the number of
estimated total hours, 1,451.6, by the
number of total annual responses by all
respondents, 725.7.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1,451.6 hours. The time
for the WIC local agency is an estimated
time for the agency to voluntarily
review the instructions, fill out the
‘‘Loving Support Award of Excellence’’
application, and attach supportive
documentation. The time for the State
WIC agency is an estimated time for the
agency to review the instructions,
evaluate the components of the local
WIC agencies applications, and make a
recommendation for an award.

annual burden for each type of
respondent.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BILLING CODE 6350–01–P
Background
Under the authority of the Strategic
and Critical Materials Stock Piling
Revision Act of 1979, as amended (the
Stock Piling Act) (50 U.S.C. 98, et seq.),

the Department of Defense’s Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA), as National
Defense Stockpile Manager, maintains a
stockpile of strategic and critical
materials to supply the military,
industrial, and essential civilian needs
of the United States for national
defense. Section 9(b)(2)(G)(ii) of the
Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C.
98(h)(b)(2)(G)(ii)) authorizes the
National Defense Stockpile Manager to
fund material research and development
projects to develop new materials for
the stockpile.
Section 3314 of the Fiscal Year (FY)
1993 National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) (50 U.S.C. 98h–1) formally
established a Market Impact Committee
(the Committee) to ‘‘advise the National
Defense Stockpile Manager on the
projected domestic and foreign
economic effects of all acquisitions and
disposals of materials from the
stockpile. . . .’’ The Committee must
also balance market impact concerns
with the statutory requirement to
protect the U.S. Government against
avoidable loss.
The Committee is comprised of
representatives from the Departments of
Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense,
Energy, Interior, the Treasury, and
Homeland Security, and is co-chaired
by the Departments of Commerce and
State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the
Committee to consult with industry
representatives that produce, process, or
consume the materials stored in or of
interest to the National Defense
Stockpile Manager.
As the National Defense Stockpile
Manager, the DLA must produce an
Annual Materials Plan proposing the
maximum quantity of each listed
material that may be acquired, disposed
of, upgraded, converted, or sold by the
DLA in a particular fiscal year. In
Attachment 1, the DLA lists the
quantities and type of activity (potential
acquisition, potential disposal, potential
upgrade, potential conversion, or
potential sale) associated with each
material in its proposed FY 2018
Annual Materials Plan (‘‘AMP’’). The
quantities listed in Attachment 1 are not
acquisition, disposal, upgrade,
conversion or sales target quantities, but
rather a statement of the proposed
maximum quantity of each listed
material that may be acquired, disposed
of, upgraded, converted, or sold in a
particular fiscal year by the DLA, as
noted. The quantity of each material
that will actually be acquired or offered
for sale will depend on the market for
the material at the time of the
acquisition or offering, as well as on the
quantity of each material approved for
