Summary of Information Collection

    The purpose of the program is to provide supplemental foods and 
nutrition education to serve as an adjunct to good health care during 
critical times of growth and development, in order to prevent the 
occurrence of health problems, including drug and other substance 
abuse, and to improve the health status of program participants. The 
benefit is similar to the benefit provided under the domestic WIC 
program.
    Respondents are individuals who are dependents of members of the 
armed forces stationed overseas, dependents of a civilian employee of a 
military department stationed overseas, and DoD contractors and their 
dependents stationed overseas who desire to receive supplemental food 
and nutrition education services. To be eligible for program, a person 
must meet specific income guidelines. In determining income 
eligibility, the Department will use the Department of Health and Human 
Services income poverty table for the state of Alaska.
