Abstract

With this revision to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) information collection request (ICR), FNA proposes to: (1) update the currently approved WIC FMNP burden estimates to reflect current program operations and data, and (2) merge the WIC FMNP burden estimates with the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) information collection activities currently approved under OMB Control Number 0584-0541. Upon this request's approval, FNA will maintain the WIC FMNP and SFMNP information collection activities under a single ICR, retaining OMB Control Number 0584-0447 and discontinuing OMB Control Number 0584-0541. The following sections describe the updates to the WIC FMNP estimates, rationale for merging the two ICRs, and the resulting combined burden estimates.
