Comment Request - Food Delivery Portal Data Collection

Summary

This is a revision of a currently approved information collection that was formerly titled "The Integrity Profile (TIP) Data Collection." Under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program regulations at 7 CFR 246.12(j)(5). 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 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 2023 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. All WIC state agencies use the web-based system called Food Delivery Portal (FDP).

FDP is a robust data collection system which aligns with current security protocols and compliance guidance, supports data storage and web components, ensures cost effectiveness, allows for data-driven decision-making, has enhanced FNS reporting capabilities, reduces grantee burden through automated calculations and consolidated reporting, and adds data validation features to reduce reporting errors.
