Title: Special Supplemental Nutrition 

Program for Women, Infants, and 

Children (WIC) Farmers’ Market 

Nutrition Program (FMNP) 

Regulations—Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden. 

Form Number: FNS–683B (under 

OMB Control Number 0584–0594) is 

associated with this collection. 

OMB Number: 0584–0447. 

Expiration Date: May 31, 2021. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The WIC Farmers’ Market 

Nutrition Program (FMNP) is associated 

with the Special Supplemental 

Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, 

and Children, also known as WIC. The 

WIC Program provides supplemental 

foods, health care referrals, and 

nutrition education at no cost to lowincome pregnant, breastfeeding and 

non-breastfeeding post-partum women, 

and to infants and children up to 5 years 

of age, who are found to be at 

nutritional risk. The purpose of the WIC 

Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program 

(FMNP) is to provide fresh, nutritious, 

unprepared, locally grown fruits and 

vegetables through farmers’ markets and 

roadside stands to WIC participants, and 

to expand awareness and use of, and 

sales at, farmers’ markets and roadside 

stands. Currently, FMNP operates 

through State health departments in 39 

States, 6 Indian Tribal Organizations, 

District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto 

Rico, and the Virgin Islands. 

Section 17(m)(8) of the Child 

Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 

1786(m)(8)), and the WIC Farmers’ 

Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) 

regulations at 7 CFR part 248 require 

that certain program-related information 

be collected and that full and complete 

records concerning FMNP operations 

are maintained. The information 

reporting and record-keeping burdens 

are necessary to ensure appropriate and 

efficient management of the FMNP. 

These burden activities are covered by 

this Information Collection Request 

(ICR) which include requirements that 

involve the authorization and 

monitoring of State agencies; the 

certification of FMNP participants; the 

nutrition education that is provided to 

participants; farmer and market 

authorization, monitoring, and 

management; and financial and 

participation data (using WIC Farmers 

Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) 

Annual Financial and Program Data 

Report (FNS 683B), which is approved 

(both the form and its associated 

reporting burden) under OMB Control 

Number: 0584–0594 Food Programs 

Reporting System (FPRS), Expiration 

Date: 07/31/2023). Recordkeeping 

burden associated with this form is not 

approved under OMB Control Number 

0584–0594. State agencies must 

maintain records in order to support 

data reported in FPRS, and the 

recordkeeping burden for such record 

maintenance is captured in this ICR, 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0447. State 

plans are the principal source of 

information about how each State 

agency operates its FMNP. Information 

from participants and local agencies is 

collected through State-developed forms 

or Management Information Systems. 

The information collected is used by the 

Department of Agriculture/Food and 

Nutrition Service to manage, plan, 

evaluate, make decisions and report on 

FMNP program operations. Along with 

the State Plans, State agencies also 

submit the Federal-State Supplemental 

Nutrition Programs Agreements (FNS– 

339) whose reporting and recordkeeping 

burden is associated and approved 

under OMB Control Number: 0584– 

0332, Expiration Date: 04/30/2022. 

This information collection is 

requesting a revision in the burden 

hours due to program changes and

adjustments that primarily reflect the 

inclusion of programmatic requirements 

that are being included in this ICR for 

the first time, and expected changes in 

the number of FMNP participants; 

FMNP authorized outlets; and WIC 

FMNP local agencies. 

The currently approved burden for 

this collection is 929,211 hours. FNS 

estimates the new burden at 1,640,801

711,591. The currently approved total 

annual responses are 4,968,338; we are 

requesting 4,908,769, which is a 

decrease of 59,569 total annual 

responses. The currently approved 

reporting burden is 515,260 hours; for 

this revision, FNS estimates 1,247,271 

hours, which is an increase of 732,011 

hours. The currently approved 

recordkeeping burden is 413,950 hours; 

for this revision, we estimate 393,530

record-keeping burden increased by 

711,591 hours.
