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 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);
