The information gathered on Forms FNS-798 and 798-A is used to report monthly financial, participation data and closeout WIC grants as required by the Child Nutrition Act.
There is a decrease in burden from 4,713 to 4,523 from the last approval. The decrease is due to an increase in the number of respondents and a decrease in the number of responses per respondents. Also a few data elements were deleted and participants were regrouped to correspond with the new WIC participant food package.
