Key points

  • USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service sought continued clearance for reporting and recordkeeping tied to WIC and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Programs in a September 4, 2026 Federal Register notice.
  • The documented food-chain link is farm-market benefit administration, not a direct change to grocery prices, restaurant menus or freight costs.
  • The supplied record names no companies, lobbying disclosures, contracts, awards, payments or ownership ties, so it does not show private influence or a private beneficiary.
  • USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service runs the programs and OMB is the clearance authority in the Paperwork Reduction Act process described by USDA.
