    Title: WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) Forms and 
Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0447.
    Summary of Collection: The FMNP is authorized by Section 17(m) of 
the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786(m)), (CNA). The 
purposes of the FMNP are to provide fresh, nutritious, unprepared 
locally grown fruits, vegetables and herbs from farmers' markets, and 
roadside stands to WIC participants; to expand the awareness and use of 
farmers' markets; and to increase sales at such markets. The FMNP is

increasing their incomes. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will 
collect information from each state that receives a grant under the 
FMNP program in conjunction with the preparation of annual financial 
and recipient reports.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNS uses the information 
collection to assess how each FMNP State agency operates; to ensure the 
accountability of State agencies, local agencies, and farmers/farmers' 
markets/roadside stands; to make program management decisions; and to 
report to Congress as needed.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; 
individuals or household; business or other for-profit, farms.
