The Department of Agriculture has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This involves feedback on the necessity and utility of the information collected, and suggestions for reducing the burden on respondents using technological solutions. Specifically, this revision relates to the Food Delivery Portal (FDP) Data Collection for the WIC Program, which gathers data from 89 WIC State agencies to ensure program integrity and compliance. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) uses this information for oversight and to report to Congress and other stakeholders. The total number of respondents to this data collection is 356, with an annual reporting requirement resulting in 3,576 total burden hours.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Agriculture wants people to help them figure out if the way they get information for a food program is good or if it needs to change. They ask people who know about this to share their ideas on how to make it easier and better for everyone.
