DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
January 5, 2022.
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments are
requested regarding; whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments regarding this information
collection received by February 9, 2022
will be considered. Written comments
and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding
Practices Study-2 (WIC ITFPS–2): Year
9 Extension.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0580.
Summary of Collection: The Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–296, Sec. 305) mandates programs
under its authorization, including WIC,
to cooperate with USDA program
research and evaluation activities. The
USDA Food and Nutrition Service’s
(FNS) WIC ITFPS–2 provides
information on the feeding practices of
children who received WIC benefits,
from birth up to 6 years of age. The
proposed data collection will extend the
longitudinal data collection of the
current cohort of study participants for
one more interview at nine years of age,
four years after the end of their
eligibility for WIC services. This
proposed extension is needed to
understand the nutrition, health
outcomes, and family feeding practices
of school-aged children in the period
after WIC program eligibility ends.
Need and use of the Information: The
results will assist in the development of
appropriate and effective prevention
strategies to improve the health of
young children. With nearly 45 percent
of U.S. infants participating in WIC, it
is hoped that prevention strategies
implemented in WIC will have a
substantial impact on the growth and
health of U.S. infants and children.
The data will be used to estimate the
type and prevalence of various feeding
practices among children who received
WIC program benefits, after their
program eligibility ends.
This study will also examine the
circumstances and influences that shape
caregivers’ feeding decisions for their
children, and will describe the impact
of childhood WIC participation on
subsequent dietary and health
outcomes. In addition, the study will
examine if those who left the
longitudinal study are fundamentally
different from those who remain in the
study.
Description of Respondents:

AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Farm Service Agency (FSA) is
requesting comments from all interested
individuals and organizations on an
extension of a currently approved
information collection request
associated with the Request for Special
Priorities Assistance. The information
collection established by the Agriculture
Priorities and Allocations System
(APAS) regulation is necessary for the
program applicant (person) to request
prioritizing of a contract above all other
contracts. The purpose of the priority
rating is to obtain item(s) in support of
national defense programs that they are
not able to obtain in time through
normal market channels.
DATES: We will consider comments that
we receive by March 11, 2022.
ADDRESSES: We invite you to submit
comments on the notice. You may
submit comments by any of the
following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Request for Special Priorities
Assistance.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0280.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,
2022.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: APAS would efficiently
place priority ratings on contracts or
orders of agriculture commodities up
through the wholesale levels,
agriculture production equipment,
allocate resources, and handle food
claims within its authority as specified
in the Defense Production Act (DPA) of
1950, as amended, when necessary to
promote national defense. It was
determined that food is a scarce and
critical commodity essential to the
national defense (including civil
emergency preparedness and response).
Unless its production, processing,
storage, and wholesale distribution are
regulated during times of emergencies,
the national defense requirement for
food and food production may not be
met without creating hardship in the
civilian marketplace. Applicants
(Government agencies or private
individuals with a role in emergency
preparedness, response, and recovery
functions) request authorization from
USDA to place a rating on a contract for
items to support national defense
activities. USDA Form AD–2102 can be
found by the public at https://forms.sc.
egov.usda.gov/eForms. Applicants must
supply, at time of request, their name,
location, contact information, items for
which the applicant is requesting
assistance on, quantity, and delivery
date. Applicants can submit the request
by mail or fax. There are no changes to
the burden hours since the last OMB
approval.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hour is the estimated average
time per response multiplied by the
estimated total annual responses.
Estimate of Respondent Burden:
Public reporting burden for the
information collection is estimated to
average 30 minutes (0.50) per response.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:16 Jan 07, 2022
Jkt 256001
Respondents: Individuals, businesses,
and agencies with responsibilities for
emergency preparedness and response.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 50.
Estimated Number of Reponses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
50.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 0.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 25 hours.
We are requesting comments on all
aspects of this information collection to
help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
FSA, including whether the information
will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s
estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission for Office of Management
and Budget approval.
