methods for making payments of funds
to State agencies to use for
administrative expenses incurred in
supervising and giving technical
assistance in connection with activities
undertaken by them under the National
School Lunch Program (NSLP) (7 CFR
part 210), the Special Milk Program

during a specified period; State
Administrative Expense plans that
outline funding and activities; State

Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Participant and Program Characteristics
Study is authorized by 7 CFR
246.25(b)(3) (2011). This legislation
requires State and local agencies to
provide information required by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA) Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) for the creation of biennial reports
on WIC participant and program
characteristics (PC). This information
includes, at a minimum, income and
nutritional risk characteristics of
participants, information on
breastfeeding incidence and duration,
and participation in the program by
category (pregnant, breastfeeding, and
postpartum women; infants; and
children) within each priority level (as
established in 7 CFR 246.7 (e)(4)) and by
migrant farmworker households. The
study affirms FNS’s seventh strategic
goal for 2018–2022: To provide all
Americans access to a safe, nutritious,
and secure food supply.
Need and Use of the Information: The
WIC PC Study will collect updated
program characteristics data from each
of the 90 WIC State agencies. The data
collection involves extracting data from
the certification systems of each of the
90 WIC State agencies. The data files
from this extraction contain two sets of
data elements—the Minimum Data Set
(MDS) and the Supplemental Data Set
(SDS). All of the WIC State agencies are
required to submit the MDS but it is
optional to submit the SDS. FNS uses
this data for general program monitoring
as well as for managing the information
needs of the program. The data is used
to estimate budgets, submit civil rights
reporting, identify needs for research,
and review current and proposed WIC
policies and procedures. FNS uses this
data to produce the WIC PC reports
which provide the most comprehensive
and up-to-date statistics on WIC.
