Environmental Impact 

Each USDA agency is required to 

comply with 7 CFR part 1b of the 

Departmental regulations, which 

supplements the National 

Environmental Policy Act regulations 

published by the Council on 

Environmental Quality. Under these 

regulations, actions of certain USDA 

agencies and agency units are 

categorically excluded from the 

preparation of an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) or an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) unless the 

agency head determines that an action 

may have a significant environmental 

effect (7 CFR 1b.4 (b)). FSIS is among 

the agencies categorically excluded from 

the preparation of an EA or EIS (7 CFR 

1b.4 (b)(6)). 

FSIS has determined that this notice, 

which describes how FSIS will 

implement the American Rescue Plan 

Act’s small and very small 

establishment overtime and holiday 

inspection fee reduction, will not create 

any extraordinary circumstances that 

would result in this normally excluded 

action having a significant individual or 

cumulative effect on the human 

environment. Therefore, this action is 

appropriately subject to the categorical 

exclusion from the preparation of an 

environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement 

provided under 7 CFR 1b.4(6) of the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture 

regulations. 

Additional Public Notification 

Public awareness of all segments of 

rulemaking and policy development is 

important. Consequently, FSIS will 

announce this Federal Register 

publication on-line through the FSIS 

website located at: https://

www.fsis.usda.gov/policy/federalregister-rulemaking. 

FSIS will also announce and provide 

a link to this Federal Register 

publication through the FSIS 

Constituent Update, which is used to 

provide information regarding FSIS 

policies, procedures, regulations, 

Federal Register notices, FSIS public 

meetings, and other types of information 

that could affect or would be of interest 

to our constituents and stakeholders. 

The Constituent Update is available on 

the FSIS website. Through the website, 

FSIS can provide information to a much 

broader, more diverse audience. In 

addition, FSIS offers an email 

subscription service which provides

Title: Food Delivery Portal (FDP) Data 

Collection (formerly The Integrity 

Profile (TIP) Data Collection). 

Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: 0584–0401. 

Expiration Date: September 30, 2021. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

Currently Approved Collection. 

Abstract: Each year, WIC State 

agencies administering the Special 

Supplemental Nutrition Program for 

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are 

required by 7 CFR 246.12(j)(5) to submit 

to FNS an annual summary of the 

results of their vendor monitoring 

efforts in order to provide Congress, 

senior FNS officials, as well as the 

general public, assurance that every 

reasonable effort is being made to 

ensure integrity in the WIC Program. 

The number of WIC State agencies in 

fiscal year 2020 is 89. This includes 50 

geographic State agencies, 33 State 

agencies operated by Indian Tribal 

Organizations, the District of Columbia, 

Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. 

Through FY 2021, States report 

compliance and monitoring data in The 

Integrity Profile (TIP) system. That 

system is being replaced with an 

upgraded, web-based system called 

Food Delivery Portal (FDP). Starting FY 

2022, all WIC State agencies will use the 

upgraded web-based system. 

The existing TIP system was designed 

and developed using the WIC Program 

requirements current as of 2005. Since 

2005, there have been changes to the 

requirements, policies, technology, and 

guidance that the current system cannot 

support. It is critical that FNS 

implements a more robust data 

collection system to align with current 

security protocols and compliance 

guidance, support data storage and web 

components, ensure cost effectiveness, 

allow for more data-driven decisionmaking through increased data analytic 

functionality, enhance FNS reporting 

capabilities, reduce grantee burden 

through automated calculations and 

consolidated reporting, and add data 

validation features to reduce reporting 

errors. With this update, the TIP system 

will be replaced with the Food Delivery 

Portal (FDP). 

The TIP system currently collects data 

via three automated forms: FNS–698 

Profile of Integrity Practices and 

Procedures (PIPP) Report, FNS–699 The 

Integrity Profile (TIP) Report, and FNS– 

700 Vendor Record. Revisions and 

consolidations in data collection in the 

FDP will eliminate these physical forms 

for the annual collection, instead 

allowing each State agency to provide 

updates using FDP. The screens in FDP 

provide a more flexible method of data 

capture, that focuses on the data that 

has changed for the year rather than 

recapturing all data elements each time. 

As a part of the upgrade effort, existing 

data in the TIP system will be migrated 

to the new FDP. 

There is an increase in the burden 

hours because FNS intends to seek 

feedback from the State agencies on the 

system. However, the responses for this 

collection will decrease as the FNS 

program needs have changed, and 

Seneca Nation no longer administers 

WIC. The State agency is currently 

required to generate a complete data 

package in TIP each year for each 

vendor. The current system requires 

each State agency to submit data for all 

of its vendors within a single file. The 

proposed changes for FDP allow each 

State agency to enter the majority of its 

vendor information once and then only 

update the fields that have changed 

within the year, reducing the data entry 

and monitoring burden. There is no 

recordkeeping burden associated with 

this information collection request. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is based on the fields in the new online 

application, and the total number of 

vendor records estimated to be entered 

into FDP by WIC State agencies. 

The highest total burden for a single 

record is estimated at 10 minutes (0.167 

hours) for completing manual data entry 

for all fields in a new record. This 

estimate is based upon each vendor 

operating as a WIC authorized vendor at 

some point during the year. It includes 

the time for reviewing instructions, 

searching existing data sources, 

gathering and maintaining the data 

needed, and completing and reviewing 

the collection of information. It is 

estimated to take 30 minutes (0.50 

hours) for the data upload, 

Entering Vendor Data 

Each State agency maintains their 

vendor data records within their statelevel system of record. They report to 

FDP the finalized records for each fiscal 

year. State agencies have the following 

two options for reporting annual vendor 

records. In FY 2019, there were 41,675 

vendor records reported in TIP across 

all 89 State agencies. Of these 89 State 

agencies, 16 State agencies used Option 

1 and 73 State agencies used Option 2. 

Option 1: State agencies manually 

update or add new records to the FDP 

system using the application screens. 

The FDP system stores and prepopulates information for vendors from 

the previous year’s submission making 

updating existing entries quicker. FNS 

estimates that 16 out of 89 State 

agencies (with a total of 456 vendors— 

430 existing and 26 new) will update 

existing and enter new vendors using 

Option 1. 

To update an existing record, State 

agencies must update any applicable 

changes to contract information 

(including status determinations), 

redemption data, monitoring activities, 

compliance investigations, sanctions, 

and administrative reviews on 

applicable existing vendors, taking 

approximately 5 minutes (0.083 hours 

per vendor). On average, these State 

agencies each update 26.9 records (430 

records divided by 16 State agencies, 

rounded to nearest tenth). FNS 

estimates a total of 35.7 hours to update 

existing records (0.083 hours per vendor 

× 430 responses). 

To enter a new record, State agencies 

must complete all data fields for new 

vendors authorized during the fiscal 

year, taking approximately 10 minutes 

(0.167 hours per vendor) to complete 

the record. On average, these State 

agencies each update 1.6 records (26 

records divided by 16 State agencies, 

rounded to nearest tenth). FNS 

estimates a total of 4.3 hours to enter the 

new records (0.167 hours × 26 

responses). 

Option 2: State agencies upload data 

files in the FDP system with all vendor 

data. FNS estimates out of 89 State 

agencies, 73 State agencies (with a total 

of 41,219 vendor records), will upload 

their data using Option 2. FNS estimates 

that it will take 30 minutes (0.50 hours) 

for a State agency to upload its vendor 

data, with small to medium State 

agencies taking up to a minute to upload 

data and large State agencies taking up 

to 60 minutes to upload data. The total 

hours requested for State agencies using 

Option 2 is 36.5 hours (0.50 hours per 

upload x 73 State agencies). 

Data Preparation 

Table 1 depicts the estimated time for 

each State agency to prepare its vendor 

data for submission in FDP. The 

estimated time varies as some State 

agencies’ MIS automatically generate 

the data each fiscal year while other 

State agencies manually compile the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
37282 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 133 / Thursday, July 15, 2021 / Notices 

data from multiple sources. FNS 

estimates that data preparation takes 1 

to 30 hours with a median of 10 hours. 

For this estimate, median is used 

instead of mean as the data is skewed, 

based upon the number of records 

reported by each State agency on 

authorized vendors. FNS estimates the 

burden hours needed to comply with 

this requirement is 890 hours (89 State 

agencies × 10 hours per submission). 

SA System Feedback 

Table 1 depicts the estimated time 

that each State agency might spend 

reviewing and responding to FNS 

requests for feedback on the system on 

an annual basis. FNS estimates that it 

will take approximately 2.5 hours per 

State agency to provide this feedback, 

for an estimated 222.5 hours. 

Affected Public: State, Local, and 

Tribal Government. Respondent groups 

identified include State, Tribal, and 

WIC agencies in the District of Columbia 

and in U.S. territories. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

The total estimated number of 

respondents is 194. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: For update Option 1, the 

frequency for the manual entry of a new 

record is 1.6 and 26.9 for the manual 

update of existing records, while the 

frequency for Option 2 (Data Upload) is 

one. Respondents prepare the data and 

respond to system feedback once per 

year. For all of the respondents across 

the entire collection, FNS estimates a 

frequency of 3.644. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

707 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time of response varies from 

5 minutes (.083 hours) to 10 hours 

depending on respondent group, as 

shown in the table below, with an 

average estimated time of 1.682 hours 

for all participants. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1,189 hours. See the table
