Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and
Children (WIC): Implementation of Nondiscretionary WIC Certification and
General Administrative Provisions -
Affirmation of Interim Rule as Final Rule
This final rule, published on July 7, 2009, affirms the
interim rule that amended the regulations for the Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) by implementing
most of the nondiscretionary provisions of the Child Nutrition and WIC
Reauthorization Act of 2004 that address participant certification and
general program administration in the WIC Program. It also implements
the exclusions from income eligibility determinations set forth in the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 and in the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and clarifies an
inconsistency related to fair hearings and notices of adverse actions
that was inadvertently omitted in the publication of the Final WIC
Miscellaneous Rule. Finally, this rulemaking includes technical
amendments to correct the address and telephone numbers to which
complaints alleging discrimination in the WIC Program should be
directed, and to correct the address of the Western Regional Office of
the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS).
