DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

January 5, 2022. 

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 are 

requested regarding; whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by February 9, 2022 

will be considered. Written comments 

and recommendations for 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 selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

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/Nonprofit Business. 

Number of Respondents: 3,555. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Once, On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 5,627.

Farm Service Agency (FSA) is 

requesting comments from all interested 

individuals and organizations on an 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection request 

associated with the Request for Special 

Priorities Assistance. The information 

collection established by the Agriculture 

Priorities and Allocations System 

(APAS) regulation is necessary for the 

program applicant (person) to request 

prioritizing of a contract above all other 

contracts. The purpose of the priority 

rating is to obtain item(s) in support of 

national defense programs that they are 

not able to obtain in time through 

normal market channels. 

DATES: We will consider comments that 

we receive by March 11, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: We invite you to submit 

comments on the notice. You may 

submit comments by any of the 

following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to: 

www.regulations.gov and search for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for Special Priorities 

Assistance. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0280. 

Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 

2022. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: APAS would efficiently 

place priority ratings on contracts or 

orders of agriculture commodities up 

through the wholesale levels, 

agriculture production equipment, 

allocate resources, and handle food 

claims within its authority as specified 

in the Defense Production Act (DPA) of 

1950, as amended, when necessary to 

promote national defense. It was 

determined that food is a scarce and 

critical commodity essential to the 

national defense (including civil 

emergency preparedness and response). 

Unless its production, processing, 

storage, and wholesale distribution are 

regulated during times of emergencies, 

the national defense requirement for 

food and food production may not be 

met without creating hardship in the 

civilian marketplace. Applicants 

(Government agencies or private 

individuals with a role in emergency 

preparedness, response, and recovery 

functions) request authorization from 

USDA to place a rating on a contract for 

items to support national defense 

activities. USDA Form AD–2102 can be 

found by the public at https://forms.sc.

egov.usda.gov/eForms. Applicants must 

supply, at time of request, their name, 

location, contact information, items for 

which the applicant is requesting 

assistance on, quantity, and delivery 

date. Applicants can submit the request 

by mail or fax. There are no changes to 

the burden hours since the last OMB 

approval. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hour is the estimated average 

time per response multiplied by the 

estimated total annual responses. 

Estimate of Respondent Burden: 

Public reporting burden for the 

information collection is estimated to 

average 30 minutes (0.50) per response. 

Respondents: Individuals, businesses, 

and agencies with responsibilities for 

emergency preparedness and response. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 50. 

Estimated Number of Reponses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

50. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Response: 0.5 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 25 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection to 

help us to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

FSA, including whether the information 

will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s 

estimate of burden including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.
