Title: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): Implementation of the Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022 and Related Provisions 
Abstract:

This rule would amend 7 CFR 246 to codify the provisions of the Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022 (ABFA). ABFA amends section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to 1) add requirements to State agency infant formula cost containment contracts; 2) establish waiver authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to address certain emergencies, disasters, and supply chain disruptions impacting WIC; and 3) require WIC State agencies to develop a plan of alternate operating procedures, commonly referred to as a disaster plan. FNS would make other related technical corrections and updates as necessary to modernize applicable WIC Program regulations.
