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.
