This request is for a revision of the
approved collection for the WIC ITFPS2 to add data collection from
participants and from local WIC sites in order to better understand
how WIC participation may impact the health and nutrition
trajectories of school-aged children who previously received
program benefits.
This is a revision of a
currently approved data collection. This information collection is
currently approved with 5,564 burden hours and 52,076 responses. As
a result of this revision, FNS estimates that the annual burden
hours for this collection will increase by 63, due to a program
change with the addition of the administrative data collection on
the L2FU Study participants. The reason for the 16,783 decrease in
burden responses is primarily due to no longer needing as many
contact information form reminders and birthday greetings that were
collected as part of Year 6 of the ITFSP-2. With this renewal, FNS
estimates that this information collection will have 5,627 burden
hours and 35,293 responses.
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 following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
