Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 33 / Wednesday, February 19, 2020 / Notices
Islands. The Federal regulations
governing the WIC Program (7 CFR part
246) require that certain program-related
information be collected and that full
and complete records concerning WIC
operations are maintained. The
information reporting and recordkeeping burdens are necessary to ensure
appropriate and efficient management of
the WIC program.
The reporting and record-keeping
burdens covered by this information
collection include requirements that
involve the certification of WIC
participants; the nutrition education
that is provided to participants; the
authorization, training and monitoring
of vendors; and the collection of vendor
pricing information in order to comply
with the Federal regulations regarding
WIC cost containment. State Plans are
the principal source of information
about how each State agency operates
its WIC Program. Information collected
from participants and local agencies is
collected through State-developed forms
or Management Information Systems.
The information collected is used by the
Department of Agriculture to manage,
plan, evaluate, make decisions, and
report on WIC program operations. This
information collection is requesting a
revision in the burden hours due to
adjustments that primarily reflect
expected changes in the number of WIC
participants; WIC authorized vendors;
and WIC State and local agencies. The
revisions decreased the approved
reporting burden by 317,028 hours and
decreased the total approved recordkeeping burden by 69,358 hours.

Households; Business or Other for
