The Federal regulations governing the WIC Program (7 CFR part 246) require that certain program-related information be collected and that full and complete records concerning WIC operations are maintained. The information reporting and record-keeping burdens are necessary to ensure appropriate and efficient management of the WIC program.

42 USC 1786
Name of Law: Child Nutrition Act of 1966
Revisions in the burden hours are due to program changes and program adjustments. Program changes are related to the use of technology, streamlining processes, changes in frequency, the inclusion of travel times, and previously existing programmatic requirements that are being included in this ICR for the first time. Program adjustments reflect expected changes in the number of WIC participants, WIC authorized vendors, and WIC State and local agencies.
