Food and Nutrition Service
Title: WIC Local Agency Directory.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0431.
Summary of Collection: The Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is authorized by Section 17 of the
Child Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786), as amended. The
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of USDA administers the WIC Program by
awarding cash grants to State agencies (generally State health
departments). The State agencies award sub-grants to local agencies
(generally local health departments and nonprofit organizations) to
deliver program benefits and services to eligible participants. As part
of their State Plan submission, State agencies identify the local
agencies that will provide WIC services. Local agencies authorized to
furnish WIC participants with supplemental foods, nutrition education,
breastfeeding promotion and support activities and referral to related
health services are subject to change. New local agencies may be
selected to operate the WIC Program and local agencies already in
operation may be disqualified for continued operation. FNS will collect
information using form FNS-648 to report additions and deletions of
local agencies operating the WIC Program and local agency address
changes, when such changes occur.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information to
maintain a local agency directory that lists the names and addresses of
all WIC local agencies. The FNS-648 WIC local agency directory serves
as the primary source of data on the number and location of local
agencies and is published annually. It is used to refer individuals to
the nearest source of WIC Program services and to maintain continuity
of program services to migrant and other transient participants. It is
also used as a mailing list to provide local agencies with technical
assistance manuals and other information.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 90.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 15.
