Title: Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): Food Delivery Systems
Abstract: A proposed rule addressing WIC Food Delivery Systems was published on December 28, 1990 (55 FR 53446). The Department provided a 120-day comment period for the proposed rule, which closed on April 29, 1991. Nearly 1,100 comments were received from a wide variety of sources. Despite the degree of preliminary input to the December 28, 1990, proposed rule, many of the commenters responding during the formal comment period suggested that the Department's food delivery regulations needed to be proposed again, rather than proceeding directly to a final rule. In addition, several members of Congress requested that the rule be reproposed in light of its impact on State agency food delivery systems. Therefore, the Department intends to issue a second proposed rule addressing WIC food delivery systems and requirements. This second rule will address all of the provisions contained in the previous rulemaking, but will contain significant modifications to some of the proposed provisions, as well as clarifications of several provisions that may not have been clearly understood in the earlier rule.
