WiSP Waiver Training Burden Statement
The WiSP application will support current and future legislation providing FNS with waiver authority for WIC, FMNP, and SFMNP requirements managing the variety of
waiver types available (e.g., pre-defined standard waivers, nationwide opt-in waivers, disaster related waivers, and to build custom ad hoc waiver requests). Waivers
are requested on an as needed basis, and not all State agencies will request a waiver for a Program requirement. Waivers are authorized by specific legislation and may
have a scope that only applies to some of the Programs.
This collection will use the information to ensure the efficient management of WIC, FMNP, and SFMNP waiver requests. The collection does not request personally
identifiable information under the Privacy Act of 1974. Responses will be kept private to the extent provided by law and FNS regulations. According to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB
control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0584-XXXX. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to
average 2-3 hours of live training per respondent for waivers and again for State plans and the use of the recorded trainings throughout waiver and State plan
processes. This burden is expected to decrease over time as respondents become familiar with the new application.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to:
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service,
Office of Policy Support,
1320 Braddock Place, 5th Floor, Alexandria, VA 22314.
ATTN: PRA (0584-XXXX).
