Food and Nutrition Service
Title: WIC Breastfeeding Award of
Excellence.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0591.
Summary of Collection: The Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA)
(Pub. L. 111–296, Sec 231) requires the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
to implement a program to recognize
exemplary breastfeeding support
practices at Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) local agencies and
clinics. The WIC program, of which the
breastfeeding award of excellence is a
part, is authorized by the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1787).
The award program for breastfeeding
excellence was originally titled the
Loving Support Award of Excellence,
consistent with the former WIC
breastfeeding campaign, Loving Support
Makes Breastfeeding Work. In 2018, the
WIC breastfeeding campaign was
updated and rebranded as WIC
Breastfeeding Support so the name of
the award program was changed as well.
Need and Use of the Information:
While HHFKA mandates that the USDA
provide a program to recognize
exemplary breastfeeding support
practices, it is voluntary for the WIC
local agencies and clinics to apply for
an award. Information is collected from
the WIC local agencies to apply for an
award and used by the WIC state
agencies to evaluate the applications.
The award application period is open
once annually, and has been designed to
allow local WIC agencies at different
stages of progress in breastfeeding
promotion and support program
development to apply for an award. The
information collection will meet the
HHFKA requirement to implement a
program to recognize exemplary
breastfeeding support practices at WIC
local agencies and clinics. The
information collected through this
program will be used to evaluate
components of existing breastfeeding
programs and support within WIC local
agencies, to recognize local WIC
agencies that provide exemplary
breastfeeding programs and support
services, and to provide examples of
model programs to motivate local
agencies and clinics to strengthen their
breastfeeding promotion and support
activities.
