Agency: Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice invites the general public and other public agencies to comment on this proposed information collection. Each year the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) prepares an analysis, The Integrity Profile (TIP) Report, of WIC State agency efforts to detect potential fraud, waste and abuse committed by their authorized food vendors and the actions taken to remove vendors who commit program violations. The analysis presents data reported by 90 WIC State agencies, which includes 50 geographic State agencies, 34 Indian Tribal Organization State agencies, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas, and the Virgin Islands. State agencies use a Web-based system to report this information. The reporting burden is comprised of three automated forms, the FNS-698, FNS-699, and FNS-700. The FNS-698 and FNS-699 are used to report State agency summary data, whereas the FNS- 700 is used to capture information on each authorized vendor. The number of vendors authorized by each State agency varies from State to State.

Fluid Milk Substitutions in the School Nutrition Programs
Document Number: E8-21293
Type: Rule
Date: 2008-09-12
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
This final rule implements a legislative provision on milk substitutes that is consistent with current regulations on menu exceptions for students with disabilities and adds requirements for the optional substitution of nondairy beverage for fluid milk for children with medical or special dietary needs in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. Specifically, this final rule establishes nutrient standards for nondairy beverage alternatives to fluid milk, allows schools to accept a written substitution request from a parent or legal guardian, grants schools discretion to select the acceptable nondairy beverages, and continues to make school food authorities responsible for substitution expenses that exceed the Federal reimbursement. This rule ensures consistency of standards among milk substitutes offered in the school lunch and breakfast programs, and assures that students who consume nondairy beverage alternates receive important nutrients found in fluid milk.
