The WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding
Practices Study-2 is designed to measure the feeding practices
employed by caregivers and the nutrition outcomes of children who
participate in WIC. This change will allow FNS to collect
information on the children through six years of age. This
nonsubstantive change to the collection requests approval to
reinstate a previously approved method for obtaining contact
information and to continue sending birthday cards to the
respondents and their children.
This information collection is
currently approved with 4,415 burden hours and 33,664 responses.
FNS has recently extended this study to collect information
concerning dietary practices and health and nutrition-related
outcomes from participants who are or will be turning 9 years of
age. In preparation for this extension, FNS requests approval to
add the previously approved contact information form back into this
collection and to send birthday cards to the respondents and to
their children when they turn 7 and 8 years old. FNS estimates that
1,149 burden hours and 18,432 responses will be added to the
collection as a result of this program change. With this request,
FNS estimates that this collection will have 52,076 responses and
5,564 burden hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
