WIC Miscellaneous Provisions - Final Rule
This final rule, published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2006,
amends the WIC regulations to:
- streamline the Federal requirements for financial and
participation reporting by State agencies;
- clarify the requirements pertaining to the confidentiality of
WIC information in order to strengthen coordination with public
organizations and private physicians;
- incorporate longstanding program policies and State agency
practices into the regulations regarding State agency responses to
subpoenas and other court-ordered requests for confidential
information; and
- incorporate recent legislation which provided the WIC State
agencies with the option to extend the certification period for
breastfeeding women.
Other provisions in this final rule are designed to improve
eligibility determinations, incorporating program policies and State
agency practices that have been in effect for some time.
