*Total retail vendor data provided from The Integrity Profile (TIP) database on WIC vendor population.

**In the Grand Subtotal: Reporting for the previous submission total burden hours was adjusted to 3,165,043 to match the ROCIS calculatuions. In the Excel calculations, this total is actually 3,165,043.8, which Excel rounds to 3,165,044. ROCIS, however, did not round this total so
the total previously submitted hours were adjusted to match.
***Previous Submission: Total Hours Requested reflects the currently approved burden hours from 2020 and hours identified as in use without OMB approval (10,188
for SA review of vendor agreements; 246.12(h)(1)(i)), which FNS is currently seeking approval for through a revision to OMB Control Number 0584-0043.
