    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments

    Comments regarding this information collection received by February

the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this information collection by

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study-2 (WIC ITFPS-
2): Year 9 Extension.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0580.
    Summary of Collection: The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 
(Pub. L. 111-296, Sec. 305) mandates programs under its authorization, 
including WIC, to cooperate with USDA program research and evaluation 
activities. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) WIC ITFPS-2 
provides information on the feeding practices of children who received 
WIC benefits, from birth up to 6 years of age. The proposed data 
collection will extend the longitudinal data collection of the current 
cohort of study participants for one more interview at nine years of 
age, four years after the end of their eligibility for WIC services. 
This proposed extension is needed to understand the nutrition, health 
outcomes, and family feeding practices of school-aged children in the 
period after WIC program eligibility ends.
    Need and use of the Information: The results will assist in the 
development of appropriate and effective prevention strategies to 
improve the health of young children. With nearly 45 percent of U.S. 
infants participating in WIC, it is hoped that prevention strategies 
implemented in WIC will have a substantial impact on the growth and 
health of U.S. infants and children.
    The data will be used to estimate the type and prevalence of 
various feeding practices among children who received WIC program 
benefits, after their program eligibility ends.
    This study will also examine the circumstances and influences that 
shape caregivers' feeding decisions for their children, and will 
describe the impact of childhood WIC participation on subsequent 
dietary and health outcomes. In addition, the study will examine if 
those who left the longitudinal study are fundamentally different from 
those who remain in the study.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals/Households, State, Local, 
or Tribal government, and Profit/Non-profit Business.
    Number of Respondents: 3,555.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Once, On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 5,627.
